‘Patriots’ Only: Beijing Plans Overhaul of Hong Kong’s Elections

summary_large_image

China is drafting plans to vet candidates for all elective offices in Hong Kong, including the committee that chooses the chief executive. Anyone deemed “unpatriotic” (critical of Beijing) will likely be investigated and barred from running. https://t.co/LbyIls755q

@KeithBradsher @nytimes is @KingJames in the running?  he's certainly "patriotic."

@KeithBradsher @nytimes That looks so similar to our country, that’s our future , wait

@KeithBradsher @nytimes Anyone critical of Trump will  face a primary challenge. Sounds familiar.

@KeithBradsher @nytimes Which comes close to what the Republiklan Party is doing in the United States.

@KeithBradsher So they're going back to the undemocratic system that the British used for 150 years?

@matthewgordonn @KeithBradsher @nytimes It appears that Communist China never intended to keep its end of the agreement.  For a long time it tries to adhere to the "One Country Two Systems" promise. But it doesn't fit under Xi's ultra-authoritarian regime.  CCP politcal reformers "One Country Two System" died with Xi.
