This year marks the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. As the first chief executive to be elected under Hong Kong's new electoral system, his election is of great significance.
The facts prove that the reform of Hong Kong's electoral system has been successful, and the system is a good institutional arrangement that is in line with the principle of"one country, two systems" as well as the actual conditions of the SAR. Given Hong Kong's complicated development environment, Lee is undoubtedly the type of chief executive the SAR needs most, and his election reflects Hong Kong society's common hope that he can open a new chapter for the city's development at this critical juncture of connecting the past and the future.
The next five years will be a crucial stage for Hong Kong to improve its governance. Under the leadership of the new chief executive, all members of the SAR government should demonstrate their loyalty to the country, their love for Hong Kong and their responsibility to the people, and demonstrate their confidence, as well as their ability to overcome the challenges of various kinds.
We guess it is okay to call HK a country. ‘Leading’ by example.
Biggest joke this week.
Final nail the HK coffin… a communist hardliner running unopposed, being appointed in a sham election. HK is dead, last of the ex-pats should flee and leave a former jewel of a city to decompose like an old corpse.
straits_times I just wish peace for HK, and a better future.
straits_times The free world knows Hong Kong is gone. Elections mean nothing there any more. 😢

This is a pre-selected appointment joke instead of a democratic election CCP promised to grant to HKers. Interesting to see the magic numbers in the website: 689 votes for CY Leung add 777 votes for Carrie Lam (both former CEs) less 50 years’ commitment of having high degree of autonomy under the “1 Country, 1 Systems” framework after 1997 = 1,416 votes for John Lee, the new CE.
