Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
I have a question about what the people of Hong Kong think of the proposed electoral framework.
The previous sitting committee heard testimony from Alan Ka-lun Lung, the chairman of the Hong Kong Democratic Foundation, who cited a poll that 47% of Hong Kong people support the package of proposals put forward, as far as the electoral framework is concerned, while 38% were against and 16% had no opinion.
Another witness testified that “something less than half of the people polled” are willing “to pocket the package”, while close to 40% say, “Over my dead body”.
Another professor commented, “Essentially we have a city now divided into two halves, as we saw at the end of the Occupy movement”, with the Occupy movement being the Occupy movement in the U.S., of course.
I want Mr. Ping to comment on the views that exist in Hong Kong about the electoral framework. Is the city divided on the question on the electoral framework that's been passed?
