[See China News on December 16, 2021](See a comprehensive report by Chinese reporter Li Huaiju) December 9HongkongWill be heldLegislative CouncilChange of termelection. Earlier this year, the National People’s Congress of the Communist Party of China revised the Hong Kong selection system to strip away its democratic elements and turn the election into an internal game of establishment. Therefore, most Hong Kong people do not want to vote in this election. The Hong Kong government is also worried that the turnout rate is too low, and it continues to adopt various measures to increase the turnout rate.Hong Kong social activists in exile in the U.S.Zhang KunyangPost an article on the Facebook page bluntly: On the day of voting, Hong Kong people have only one option, which is comprehensiveboycottelection.
In order to increase the voter turnout rate, the Hong Kong government set up a border polling station for the first time in this election and implemented for the first time convenient measures such as free rides across Hong Kong on election day. Zhang Kunyang said in his post that the Hong Kong government has been escorting the elections everywhere in the past few days, even taking various measures, even issuing hard instructions to ask citizens to vote. If the voter turnout rate is low, the Hong Kong government will not be able to prove that under the National Security Law and the new electoral system, Hong Kong has returned to the “peace and prosperity”, and the fact that the regime cannot control people’s hearts will once again appear.
Zhang Kunyang pointed out that under the new electoral system (hereinafter referred to as the “new election system”), the threshold for candidates to enter the gate has been greatly increased. Basically, if they cannot please the establishment, they will not be able to enter the gate, nor will they be able to get the support and support of pro-Beijing forces. Nominate. The new election system reflects the regime’s desire to completely silence the voices of influential democrats and block them from exerting influence in the Legislative Council.
He hopes that everyone will not have any illusions about Hong Kong’s current political system. Participating in politics or voting nowadays is just playing chess pieces for the Communist Party’s play, making the outside world mistakenly believe that Hong Kong’s electoral system is still meaningful.
Xu Zhifeng, a former legislator in exile in Australia, called on Hong Kong people to vote in vain. However, this proposal has been opposed by some comments, worrying that “voting in vain” will increase the voter turnout in this election. The Hong Kong Communist regime, which has lost its integrity, or tampering with vain votes, makes the outside world think that the election was a success. Zhang Kunyang believes that “voting blank votes” may result in “not enough blank votes” and “high turnout rate is not low,” which makes it impossible for the outside world to know the true attitude of Hong Kong people. Therefore, he believes that boycotting elections is the first choice.
He said that citizens can weaken the legitimacy of the Hong Kong Communist Party’s regime and the acceptance of elections through low voter turnout. Rather than being confused and cooperating with the Chinese Communist Party’s script, Hong Kong people should stick to their principles and boycott elections. He continued that the boycott of the election was not because of discouragement, and now there is a silent protest in Hong Kong. “On the day of the election patrol organized by the Chinese Communist Party with great interest and care, Hong Kong people treated it with indifference, and shamed the regime by absence. The Communist Party established the’election’ based on the freedom and blood of Hong Kong people. We must boycott to the end and never compromise. .”
