The way in which the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be designed, developed and improved is a matter of China's internal affairs, said China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson.

Wang Wenbin, the spokesperson, said at a routine press conference on Friday that Hong Kong's electoral system is internal affairs of China; and across the world, a country determines the electoral system of local places, and this is the constitutional system and political practice of all unitary states.

"China's stance toward Hong Kong has won the understanding and support of most members of the international community," said Wang.

Wang was responding to a Bloomberg journalist who asked whether it is necessary to improve Hong Kong's electoral system.

Wang stressed that China is determined to safeguard its sovereignty, security and development interests.

China firmly upholds the principles of "one country, two systems," "the people of Hong Kong governing Hong Kong," and a high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong, Wang said, adding that it will firmly oppose the interference of external forces in Hong Kong affairs and any attempt of using Hong Kong to pressure China will be doomed to fail.

Now Hong kong finally returns to China in real sense. I prefer merging Hong kong into Shenzhen and making it a district of Shenzhen city.

I do not understand why the Chinese administration has taken such roundabouts. Simply let all anglo-saxon lovers in Hong Kong deny their Chinese citizenship. Most of them must have already immigrated to London.

It was a big mistake that Deng promised them de facto independence and let them become a country within China, China should have just taken back Hong kong from UK because Hong kong is China's land and was illegally taken away from China by the British colonists, we didn't owe UK anything, they owe us.
over 20 years passed, the trouble now had shown every now and then, this old mistake should have been fixed long time ago.
