After the anti -repair campaign broke out in Hong Kong in 2019, the Chinese government proposed the principle of "Patriotic Governing Hong Kong" and successively changed the election system for the Hong Kong Chief Executive and Legislative Council.Hong Kong Chief Executive Li Jiachao pointed out on Tuesday that the reform of the new district council is to disrupt anyway, take national security as the first place, implement the principle of "Patriotic Governing Hong Kong" and establish administrative leadership.

He said: "We have to change, go back to the right direction, and continue to go. We see that the chaos in the district council that has appeared has almost reached the edge of the cliff to endanger national security.. I will not allow district councilors to destroy the overall interests of Hong Kong and take over any Hong Kong citizen to jump the cliff. "

Hong Kong's political circles have different views on the reform plan of the district council.Lin Jianfeng, Councilor of the Legislative Council of the Civilian Federation, believes that the democratic faction has been a political platform for many years as a political platform to abuse the functions of the district council; to form district councils with mixed models such as appointment and indirect elections, it will effectively serve as district council politics and enhance regional services in the region.Quality.

Democratic Chairman Luo Jianxi was very disappointed with the new plan of the district council.He said that there are more than 400 elected seats in this district parliament, which will be reduced to 88 in the future, which is very large. It is not ideal for people who have participated or voting, and the participation of citizens may be affected in the future.

As for whether the Democratic Party will run, Luo Jianxi said that he would discuss with party members and members of the party later. There was no decision for the time being.

Dr. Chen Xiaofeng, Secretary -General of the Hong Kong Law Exchange Foundation, pointed out in a joint morning newspaper that the district council has always played a role in developing, well -being of people's livelihood, and cultivating political talents in regional consultation organizations in Hong Kong.However, the district council election in 2019 will reveal the political crooked wind, the district council system is completely distorted, and the regional administration is severely disturbed and destroyed.The Hong Kong Government has launched a new plan this time, which is expected to return the district council to its original positioning and effectively improve the ability of grassroots governance.

Chen Xiaofeng believes that from the perspective of the Hong Kong government's plan, the future society has higher requirements for district councilors, and the threshold for district councilors will be higher; if the district councilor does not work well, it will soon be eliminated.
