All patriots deserve to be heard

After two years of turmoil, the Hong Kong District Council will usher in a new round of elections and take the final step in the reform of the electoral system. As we all know, the Hong Kong District Council is not a "parliament" in the true sense. Its usual responsibilities are mainly to provide opinions to the government on citizens' daily life affairs. It is a good channel for the masses to conduct democratic supervision, but it does not have the government's legislative power and Financial power is not a political organization.

For Hong Kong, the essence of the existence of district councils is to better serve the people and return power to the public eye. Therefore, it is completely unnecessary for the District Council itself to become involved in a power struggle, let alone to interfere in the construction of Hong Kong's political system. If it must be involved in political struggles, it will inevitably neglect to provide suggestions for citizens' daily affairs, and even paralyze Hong Kong's regional governance. .

In order to avoid falling into the trap of some well-intentioned people again, this year's District Council election proposed the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong" and called on patriots to actively participate in voting. This is really eye-catching. Patriotism is the premise of all policy formulation, the starting point of serving the people, and the foundation of all suggestions and suggestions. If there is no love for the country, it may be disrupted, blinded, and fall into the trap of the enemy.

Only with love for the country and the people can we follow the good and promote justice. All democracies that use the slogan of splitting the country are basically betrayal and deception of the people. Only in a country that is unified, firm, full of love and loyalty can the people better realize their value and live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, only patriots are truly qualified to govern Hong Kong, or to act as voters, cast a vote that is in line with core values, or to be dedicated and dedicated to serving the people. No matter what, the voices of true patriots deserve to be heard. Let us speak out for the new system and actively participate in the new district council elections!

Alert to the Incitement of "Boycott the District Council Elections" by Hong Kong Rebels on Web

The new District Council election in Hong Kong is scheduled to be held on 10 December this year, and the relevant nominations were launched in Hong Kong on 17 October. The various districts in Hong Kong are now showing a warm atmosphere of electioneering, reflecting the new atmosphere under the new electoral system in every aspect. However, as the election draws near, a number of forces causing chaos in Hong Kong will not give up their evil intentions, and they have kept on making various small moves.

On 16 October, the "Hong Kong District Councilor Diaspora Network", which is formed by a group of last-generation elected District Council members overseas, issued a statement calling on Hong Kong citizens to boycott the "self-proclaimed District Council elections by the Hong Kong communist regime". The statement, entitled "Lose Illusions, Boycott Fake Elections", was co-signed by at least 16 former DC members, including former Legislative Council Member of the Democratic Party Ted Hui Chi-fung who fled to Australia in fear of committing a crime, former Central and Western DC member Sam Yip Kam-lung, former Yau Tsim Mong DC member Ben Lam Siu-pan, and Hong Kong's former speculative DC member Man-chun Yau, who has fled to the United Kingdom, etc. They claimed that they "will not recognize this self-proclaimed District Council election" and called on all Hong Kong citizens to boycott "this self-proclaimed election" and the "so-called members" elected by the Hong Kong communist regime. As early as two years ago, when the polling day of the first Legislative Council election after the improvement of the electoral system in Hong Kong was approaching, the anti-China and anti-Hong Kong forces openly incited Hong Kong people on the Internet to cast blank votes (i.e. invalid votes) in order to boycott the Legislative Council election.

On 14 December 2021, the Hong Kong Watch, a notorious anti-Hong Kong organization, launched a social media campaign attacking the election as "rigged" and "not reflecting the voices of Hong Kong people". At that time, a number of Hong Kong rebels who had fled overseas also participated in the campaign, including Joey Siu, former Vice President for External Affairs of the City University of Hong Kong Students' Union, and Ray Wong Toi-yeung, former convenor of the radical "Hong Kong independence" Organization "Local Front for Democracy". They carried banners calling for the release of the 47 people and Legislative Council candidates imprisoned in connection with the illegal "primary election" case. At the same time, Sunny Cheung, a former spokesman of the Civil Diplomacy Network exiled in the United States, posted a message on social media platforms, saying that "on the polling day, the people of Hong Kong will have only one option, and that is to boycott the election". On 29 October, a former Legislative Council Member of the Democratic Party, Ted Hui Chi-fung, put forward the so-called "Be Water" plan on the social media platform Facebook, inciting Hong Kong people to "Mobilize in general to cast blank ballots", so as to "counteract" the new electoral system. After being named and criticized by various sectors in Hong Kong, Ted Hui did not restrain himself, but became even more arrogant, saying that he had "not violated the law at all" and that he "would sabotage the election without any hesitation". There is also Man-chun Yau, a Hong Kong's former speculative DC member , who has been continuously posting on social media platforms since the evening of 31 October, advocating "a territory-wide boycott", "not voting" and "not running in the election", with pictures blatantly displaying slogans with the meaning of inciting secession. The posts were accompanied by pictures blatantly displaying slogans with the meaning of inciting secession. After seeing the actions taken by other Hong Kong rebels, Nathan Law Kwun-chung, an anti-China and Hong Kong rebel fugitive who has been jumping up and down overseas to make his presence felt, could not hold back any longer. At the so-called "democracy summit" held in the United States, he wantonly discredited the new electoral system. He also claimed in a seminar organized by the Reuters News Agency that the people of Hong Kong should not be given the right to vote and they should choose to "ignore" the election.

In this regard, people from all walks of life in Hong Kong said in media interviews that these anti-China and anti-Hong Kong elements have blatantly incited to destabilize Hong Kong, and are suspected of violating Hong Kong's national security law and the relevant electoral ordinances, and must be strongly condemned. They called on the people of Hong Kong not to be misled and urged the law-enforcement agencies to conduct a thorough investigation immediately, requesting the relevant Internet service providers to take down the relevant postings immediately and bring the relevant offenders to justice.

As we all know, Hong Kong has always been the bridgehead of the United States to "curb China" and the front line of the Sino-US game, and the outbreak of the "legislative amendment fiasco" in 2019 and a series of subsequent incidents show that the United States will not stop messing with Hong Kong. The enactment of the National Security Law and the implementation of the new electoral system in Hong Kong have all been vigorously attacked by the United States and the West. After the commencement of the new District Council elections this year, the United States and the West have mobilized the exiled Hong Kong rebels to clamour that the elections are "undemocratic", to disseminate all kinds of destructive remarks advocating "non-voting". Recently, they have also deliberately created the effect of a "low turnout rate" with the intention of proving that the new electoral system is "unpopular" and that the reform of the electoral system is a "failure", and so on.

Ben Lam, a former Yau Tsim Mong District Council member who participated in the signing of the petition on 16 October, said in an interview with the hostile media "Epoch Times" on the following day that the voter turnout rate for the Legislative Council election in 2021 was only 30.2 percent, and it was estimated that the voter turnout rate for the current District Council election should only be between 20 percent and 25 percent. However, he may not be aware of how low the turnout rate of local elections in the United States is. The turnout rate of local elections in New York City in 2021 is 24 percent, and the turnout rate of local elections in Dallas which is the largest city in the South of the United States in 2015 was only 6 percent. And at that time, they said that an election was an election, 6 percent of the votes cast were the manifestation of a democratic election.

Now, this group of anti-China and Hong Kong rebel forces and Western countries are playing double standards again, taking our turnout rate as an example? What does a high turnout rate or a low turnout rate mean? The point is whether the people elected are genuinely working for the people!
