Constitutional Development Task Force

Paper Summary:

This paper analyzes the political system in Hong Kong. It describes the clashes between the democratic and the socialist political systems. It then describes the Constitutional Development Task Force which has addressed a substantive number of issues and, at the same time, in presenting its results, has raised subsequent questions relating to the democratic process in the region.

From the Paper:

"On the other hand, should there be a higher threshold, it would impede the political race and it would create the situation in which only one candidate is validly nominated, excluding any possible challengers. Such a case is likely to be called into question by the democratic parties and considered to be an indirect interference in the autonomous status of the Region in relation with the Central People's Government, thus contesting the legitimacy of the Chief Executive as a representative for the people, as shown by recent elections."
