Hong Kong has once again been ranked the world’s freest economy by the Washington-based Heritage Foundation for the 23rd consecutive year.
Candidates for Chief Executive of Hong Kong are still nominated by the Central Election Commission, which is simply another name for dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should act in accordance with Article 39 of the Basic Law, which declares that the people have the right to call for referendums. To curb corruption, the heads of the executive, legislative judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year.. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
