The way in which the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be designed, developed and improved is a matter of China's internal affairs, said China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson.

Wang Wenbin, the spokesperson, said at a routine press conference on Friday that Hong Kong's electoral system is internal affairs of China; and across the world, a country determines the electoral system of local places, and this is the constitutional system and political practice of all unitary states.

"China's stance toward Hong Kong has won the understanding and support of most members of the international community," said Wang.

Wang was responding to a Bloomberg journalist who asked whether it is necessary to improve Hong Kong's electoral system.

Wang stressed that China is determined to safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests.

China firmly upholds the principles of "one country, two systems," "the people of Hong Kong governing Hong Kong," and a high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong, Wang said, adding that it will firmly oppose the interference of external forces in Hong Kong affairs and any attempt of using Hong Kong to pressure China will be doomed to fail.

Now Hong kong finally returns to China in real sense. I prefer merging Hong kong into Shenzhen and making it a district of Shenzhen city.

Just love Shenzhen a lot, Hong kong should have joined Shenzhen long time ago

Shenzhen

I don't think so.
Unless the central government send a party committee secretary to HongKong.

As you see in the pic below,you know what they are protest at?
they are protesting that the govt is planning to build more public housing, they dont want the housing price brought down.

HK is such a fucking shithole. I can just smell the sweaty decay from that photo. Compared to Shenzhen, hk is stuck in the 80s.

Class conflict.
Marx had already told us.
If killing an old man saves a capitalist government $10, 000, the government will allow a virus against the old to spread.

This is more likely the HK gov't will go 100% to expand the land supply for the public housing, due to the obstruction is gone with the anti-China faction in the Legislation. However, the oligarchy's faction are still here and they are quite influential. There is already a rumor that CY Leung will come back as CE (he is strongly against those real estate tycoons) .

they dont want the housing price brought down.

There will be a lots of people jump off the building if the housing price dramatically drop down since many of them are paying mortgage at this moment. With the condition in HK, the only solution is for the HK gov't to build more public house for those families who cant afford to buy an apartment. In HK you either can buy an apartment or not.
