Elites Association Deputy and Secretary General Jacky Ko Chung Kit stated. \u201cWe must straighten out the electoral system to ensure that real patriots govern in Hong Kong.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On Saturday, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/world-asia-china-56264117\">China Central Television<\/a> aired multiple segments that claimed to show citizens of Hong Kong speaking favorably of Beijing\u2019s rule in their city. Chinese officials have pushed for electoral reform in Hong Kong to disenfranchise political opposition in the city.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2382907\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2382907\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2382907 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/GettyImages-1302222025.jpg\" alt=\"LIEYU, TAIWAN - FEBRUARY 04: Xiamen, in mainland China, as seen from Shaxi Fort on February 04, 2021 in Lieyu, an outlying island of Kinmen that is the closest point between Taiwan and China. Kinmen, an island in the Taiwan strait that is part of Taiwan&#039;s territory, is so close to China that the deep-water port of Xiamen, one of China&#039;s biggest, lies less than three miles away across the water. It is one of the few areas of Taiwan that mainland Chinese tourists can visit without visas or permits, and has deep ties with the adjacent Fujian province of China; locals have seen a boost to their incomes from Chinese tourism in pre-pandemic times. Wartime anti-tank barricades litter the beach and the island also features the Zhaishan tunnel, which Taiwanese forces still reserve the right to use in wartime and for military exercises.
