Beijing Loyalist Cojoins Carrie Lam: No separation of powers in Hong Kong
Jasper Tsang Yuk-sing is the former president of LegCo and the founding member of the pro-Beijing party DAB in Hong Kong. Tsang joined the debates about "separation of powers" by supporting Chief Executive Carrie Lam and Secretary for Education Kelvin Yeung Yun-hung. Tsang said their ”no separation of powers” statement was "consistent with common knowledge".
Tsang also claimed that the Hong Kong system was different from the US referring to the ”separation of powers", and thus it was inaccurate to consider the “separation of powers” as an essential part of democracy.
He said Hong Kong has already “moved forward”, compared with the time before the handover, giving an example that Basic law clearly states officers can’t be lawmakers concurrently after 1997, which was once legitimate.
