决定通过时,人民大会堂会场内响起经久不息的热烈掌声。
The decision is another major step taken by the state to improve the HKSAR's legal and political systems since the Law on Safeguarding National Security in the HKSAR was adopted in June 2020.
这是继制定实施《中华人民共和国香港特别行政区维护国家安全法》后,国家完善香港特别行政区法律和政治体制的又一重大举措。
While deliberating a draft of the decision, the NPC session was of the view that the return of Hong Kong to the motherland put the region once again under the overall governance system of the country, and China's Constitution and the Basic Law of the HKSAR jointly form the constitutional basis of the HKSAR.
决定指出,十三届全国人大四次会议审议了全国人民代表大会常务委员会关于提请审议《全国人民代表大会关于完善香港特别行政区选举制度的决定(草案)》的议案。会议认为,香港回归祖国后,重新纳入国家治理体系,《中华人民共和国宪法》和《中华人民共和国香港特别行政区基本法》共同构成香港特别行政区的宪制基础。
The electoral system of the HKSAR, which includes the methods for the selection of the Chief Executive and for the formation of the Legislative Council (LegCo), is an important part of the political structure of the HKSAR, according to the session. The electoral system should conform to the policy of "one country, two systems," meet the realities in the HKSAR and serve to ensure that Hong Kong is administered by people who love the country and love Hong Kong, according to the session. The electoral system should be conducive to safeguarding China's national sovereignty, security, and development interests and help maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, according to the session.
