China News Service, Hong Kong, March 5 (Reporter Shi Bingyun) Several Hong Kong chambers of commerce issued statements on the 5th, supporting the Fourth Session of the Thirteenth National People’s Congress to review the “Decision of the National People’s Congress on Improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s Election System (Draft) )", which believes that the motion will help implement "patriots ruling Hong Kong" and will help maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and the interests of national development.
Chen Jin, vice chairman of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for Imports and Exports of Hong Kong, said in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency that the Chamber of Commerce fully supports the Fourth Session of the 13th National People's Congress to review the proposal.
He believes that the motion will strengthen the role of the Election Committee, optimize the governance team in Hong Kong, improve the quality of members of the SAR Legislative Council, and better implement the standard of "patriots ruling Hong Kong".
It is the key to helping Hong Kong go from chaos to great governance.
Chen Jin pointed out that Hong Kong has been interfered by external forces in recent years and social development has been severely affected. The Chamber of Commerce believes that the comprehensive election system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will better complement the previously promulgated and implemented Hong Kong National Security Law to further protect the development of the "Pearl of the Orient". Well integrated into the overall situation of national development.
The Hong Kong Chinese Enterprises Association (China Enterprise Association) said on the 5th that it firmly supports the improvement of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region election system.
The Fourth Session of the Thirteenth National People’s Congress will deliberate on the “Decision on Improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region’s Electoral System (Draft)”. It is fully in line with the “One Country, Two Systems” policy and the actual situation of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It is to ensure that “patriots govern Hong Kong”. "This is a necessary move to safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests and maintain Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability.
Yuan Wu, president of the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce of Hong Kong (CCC), believes that the National People's Congress proposed to improve Hong Kong's electoral system, including the composition of the election committee, the chief executive and the method for forming the legislative council.
I believe that by improving Hong Kong’s electoral system, the fundamental principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong" will be better reflected, so that the practice of "one country, two systems" will be continuously enriched and developed, and the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong will be ensured, and the democratic system will be developed by leaps and bounds.
The Chinese Manufacturers’ Association of Hong Kong also expressed its belief that by improving Hong Kong’s election system at all levels, the constitutional order of “one country, two systems” can be maintained and Hong Kong’s politics, society, and economy can be back on track as soon as possible.
Shi Lide, Chairman of the Manufacturers Association, pointed out that it is a matter of course for the central government to require “patriots” who support the Basic Law and allegiance to the SAR to govern Hong Kong. Last year, the National People’s Congress passed the decision to enact the Hong Kong National Security Law, which pioneered innovations for the implementation of “One Country, Two Systems”. The situation has gradually stabilized Hong Kong society, and the results are obvious to all. He hopes that after the National People's Congress improves the Hong Kong election system, it can set aside chaos, rebuild a peaceful and rational political ecology, reduce social internal friction, and focus on economic and people's livelihood development.
