Beijing [China], March 11 (ANI): Despite fierce international condemnation, China s national legislature has approved a resolution to drastically overhaul Hong Kong s electoral system to ensure only patriots can rule the city, a move which is feared to further smother opposition voices in the city.
The National People s Congress (NPC) on Thursday passed the resolution by a near-unanimous vote, paving the way for the biggest shake-up to the city s electoral system since its return to China in 1997, reported South China Morning Post (SCMP).
A total of 2,895 delegates voted in favour of the proposal, which will authorise its standing committee to finalise the details of the electoral reform process and applauded for the longest period after the Hong Kong electoral proposal was passed.
