Chinese officials are defending an anticipated overhaul of semi-autonomous Hong Kong's elections law, which are set to include more stringent measures to exclude prospective candidates who support independence from the mainland.
The expected move has been discussed as part of a series of decisions being deliberated for the 13th National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference events. "The move to improve Hong Kong's electoral system and ensure 'patriots administering Hong Kong' is necessitated by the need to advance the One Country, Two Systems cause and maintain long-term stability in Hong Kong," Wang said."It is a constitutional power and responsibility of the NPC, and is totally constitutional, lawful and justified."
Pro-Beijing supporters hold up banners and wave Chinese flags outside the West Kowloon court ahead of court appearances by dozens of dissidents charged with subversion in the largest use yet of Beijing's sweeping new national security law on March 1 in Hong Kong, China. Opposition activists have been accused of conspiring to commit subversive activities as authorities from Hong Kong and the mainland seek stability in the wake of protests that rocked the special administrative region.
Wang argued Sunday, however, that democracy did not exist under the previous U.K.-ruled administration, and that Chinese reforms have actually empowered the region rather than oppress it.
