China Grabs Hold of Hong Kong Elections With Patriot-Only Rule Bloomberg 3/12/2021 Bloomberg News (Bloomberg) Chinese lawmakers approved an extensive overhaul of how Hong Kong chooses its leaders, ensuring that Beijing can have a veto over any elected official in the Asian financial hub’s political system. With President Xi Jinping watching, the National People’s Congress passed near unanimously a proposal Thursday to change the size and composition of the body that picks the city’s chief executive, and have it nominate local legislators. The rubber-stamp parliament also established a vetting committee to ensure candidates for the positions including the Legislative Council are “patriots,” effectively ending China’s only experiment with open elections.
