Without the Democrats, Has Hong Kong's Legislature Become a #RubberStamp?
The Panel on Judicial and Legal Services of Legislative Council met on January 27, 2021 to discuss the proposed amendments to supplementary arrangements for arbitration between China and Hong Kong.
Among 13 members, none but only the Panel Chairman, Horace Cheung Kwok-kwan, attended the meeting.
After the Department of Justice explained the document, Cheung raised only one question which ended the whole “deliberation” in about 10 minutes.
In December 2020, 15 pro-democracy legislators resigned en masse to protest against Beijing's disqualifications of elected lawmakers in the extended term. After that, only #BeijingLoyalists were left in the Panel on Judicial and Legal Services, including Vice-Chairman Martin Liao Cheung-kong, Chairlady of the New People’s Party Regina Ip, Junius Ho Kwan-yiu and Holden Chow Ho-ding.
However, none of them attended the meeting.
