The statement by the G7 foreign ministers was issued jointly by the foreign ministers of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as high-level representatives of the European Union, according to VOA. The statement pointed out that last year, the CCP and Hong Kong authorities increased the number of non-elected members appointed on the Election Commission and drastically reduced the number of voters eligible to participate in the election of the Commission, thus deviating from the ultimate goal of “universal suffrage” set by Hong Kong’s Basic Law.

The statement continued that the current nomination process for the election of Hong Kong’s chief executive and the subsequent appointments seriously deviated from the goal of universal suffrage and further eroded the right of Hong Kong people to be legally represented. “We are gravely concerned about the continued erosion of political and civil rights and Hong Kong’s autonomy. We continue to call on China to act in accordance with the Sino-British Joint Declaration and its other legal obligations. We urge the new chief executive to respect the Basic Law’s commitment to protect rights and freedoms, and ensure that the court system upholds the rule of law.”

On Twitter, Western observers and activists also expressed concern and criticism over the deteriorating democratic situation in Hong Kong. Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote that he was disappointed but not surprised by the election results and that the CCP is continuing to break promises and intensify their authoritarian rule over the people of Hong Kong, “unless we make the CCP pay for their brutality, they will continue to destroy Freedom in Hong Kong and beyond.”

Xu Yingting, director of “We The Hongkongers”, an American-Hong Kong people’s organization, pointed out that Li Jiachao’s election makes people feel that “nothing has happened”, because no one in Hong Kong really cares about an election that the people cannot participate in, and a position that only a puppet of the CCP can hold. “I’m tired.”

Liu Zudi, a well-known activist in Hong Kong’s anti-extradition movement, said, “It’s impressive to see a dictator win 99 percent of the votes in an election with Chinese characteristics (only 7.5 million people out of 7.5 million) 1,500 people are eligible to vote). This is not Hong Kong, this is North Korea or China.”

Bloomberg columnist Mathew Brooker repeatedly tweeted, criticizing the CCP’s official media and the establishment for describing the Hong Kong election as “representing public opinion” or even “a more advanced model of ‘democracy’”, “I don’t want to be thick-skinned. Not a single committee representing 0.02% of the population represents public opinion. In fact, we know what public opinion is. They were asked in 2019, and they responded loudly and clearly. They were not asked again, and never will be Not anymore,” he wrote in another tweet.

Rogers, founder of the British human rights organization “Hong Kong Watch”, also harshly criticized Li Jiachao and the election: “It is almost impossible for him to lose. The people cannot vote. His 1,500 ‘pickers’ are selected by Beijing. He has no opponents. (This Yes) a farce. It’s all fake. The result is a tougher CCP puppet villain taking control of Hong Kong.”

Kong Gaofeng, a professor of sociology at Johns Hopkins University in the United States, satirized the absurdity of the election: “Both Xi Jinping and Kim Jong Un were elected as top leaders with 100% of the votes. Li Jiachao only won 99%. The 1% difference shows that “One country, two systems is real and works well.”

Foreign media also showed no mercy to coverage of Hong Kong’s chief executive election. The online media reNews listed news headlines from a number of international media: Japan’s “Asahi Shimbun” has a very direct headline, “Loyal to Beijing, suppressing 2 million protests, the new leadership of the Hong Kong government”; the US “New York Times” is no less conceited. Ming Li Jiachao won Hong Kong’s “rubber-stamp election”, describing him as “firmly loyal to the Chinese government” and “chosen” to be Hong Kong’s next leader in a process tightly controlled by Beijing with only him as a candidate.

The official Singaporean media “CNA” wrote cryptically and interestingly, referring to Hong Kong’s former security chief Li Jiachao being “confirmed” and “announced” as Hong Kong’s next chief executive. The Indian online media “Press United” even used a headline to refer to Li Jiachao as the next leader of Hong Kong, “a puppet in the hands of the Chinese Communist Party”.
