The Central Authorities have taken into full consideration the opinions of the people from all walks of life in Hong Kong. Both the decision of the NPC and the amendment process concerning the revised electoral system made full reference to and drew on the views of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong, including a strong public opinion as evidenced by 2.38 million signatures in support of the NPC decision. In three days starting March 15, the relevant departments held 100 symposiums and meetings, with the number of attendants exceeding 1,000, including those of the “pan-democratic” camp. Many of the views of Hong Kong residents have been incorporated into the new electoral system. They include setting up some “safety valves” to provide a reliable institutional safeguard for patriots administering Hong Kong; reforming the Election Committee to ensure the balanced participation of all sectors; eliminating the representation of District Councils, etc. These opinions of Hong Kong residents reflected a consensus for peace after the turmoil the city has endured.
