HK Authorities Replace Hong Kong’s #Bauhinia Insignia with Chinese Emblem in #LegislativeCouncil
The change, ahead of the “patriots only” legislative election, is said in line with the National Flag and National Emblem Ordinance, which states that it must be displayed for the swearing-in of officials.
The oath-taking ceremony for new lawmakers is set to take place early 2022.
The main chamber of the Legislative complex is undergoing an expansion to accommodate 20 extra lawmakers destined to sit in the newly-expanded legislature.
Although more lawmakers will be sworn in, democratic representation was reduced by around half following the Beijing-led overhaul of the system in May 2021.
