China Passes ‘Patriotic’ Plan to Vet Election Candidates

China’s legislature has approved a resolution to make sweeping changes to Hong Kong’s electoral system. The measures were passed with 2,985 votes in favor, and zero against, in China’s National People’s Congress (NPC). A “candidate qualification review committee” will be established to vet candidates for election to Hong Kong’s parliament, the Legislative Council said. Chinese officials have said that the changes will ensure “patriots” are in control of Hong Kong.
