关于《全国人民代表大会关于完善香港特别行政区选举制度的决定（草案）》的说明 (Explanation of the "Decision of the National People's Congress on Improving the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region's Electoral System (Draft)")
Xinhua News Agency, March 5, 2021HRIC Note: Following recent announcements by Beijing authorities that only “patriots” should be allowed to hold government offices in Hong Kong, the “Draft Decision” on Hong Kong’s “electoral reform” was submitted on Friday, March 5, 2021, to the National People’s Congress for deliberation. The move is widely recognized and denounced by the pro-democracy camp in Hong Kong as a blatant step to demolish political opposition in the city, stripping away any pretense that the Chinese authorities still abide by the “one country, two systems” principle of governing Hong Kong.
The “Explanation” was delivered as a speech by Wang Chen, Vice Chairman of the Standing Committee of National People’s Congress, on the same day, at the opening meeting of the fourth annual session of the 13th NPC. The speech points to the “chaos” in Hong Kong as indicative of the shortcomings in Hong Kong’s electoral system which “provides an opportunity for anti-China forces to seize the power of governance in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.”
