NPC: Amendments made to plug loopholes in HKSAR electoral system

China's top legislature is amending the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) to plug loopholes, said Zhang Yong, deputy head of the Commission for Legislative Affairs of the NPC Standing Committee.

The Standing Committee of the 13th National People's Congress on Tuesday passed bills on amending Annex I and II to the HKSAR Basic Law.

The action is being taken to ensure that a "central government-trusted patriot" occupies the office of HKSAR chief executive and that the Election Committee and the Legislative Council will be dominated by people who love China and the HKSAR.

It will also make sure that anti-China Hong Kong disruptors will not work in political institutions, said Zhang.
