The central government has always adhered to the principles of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong", and a high degree of autonomy. With development, Hong Kong people enjoy unprecedented rights in accordance with the law.

However, in recent years, especially since the "Regulations Amendment Disturbance" in 2019, anti-China chaos in Hong Kong has linked up with external anti-China forces and openly advocated "Hong Kong independence" through the SAR election platform, the legislative council and the district council meeting platform or use The status of the relevant public officials has been unscrupulously engaged in anti-China activities to disrupt Hong Kong, trying to paralyze the operation of the SAR Legislative Council, obstructing the SAR government's administration in accordance with the law, and attempting to challenge the authority of the central government and seize the SAR's governance power.

The above-mentioned chaos in Hong Kong society shows that there are obvious loopholes and defects in the electoral system of the SAR, which provides an opportunity for anti-China chaos in Hong Kong to enter the room. We must resolutely correct the loopholes and build strong barriers.
