Ex-police officer oversees crackdown on pro-democracy protests is sole candidate in Hong Kong's #ChiefExecutiveElection
#JohnLee, a career police officer turned hardline security official, is running unopposed to take over the Chief Executive job in Hong Kong’s elections next month.
As the sole candidate with #Beijing’s blessing, he is all but guaranteed to become the next chief executive.
Hongkongers have not had a direct say in who serves as their chief executive since the handover in 1997. Instead, the post is selected by a small committee of society stakeholders called the Election Committee.
In March, 2021, Beijing overhauled the city’s electoral process, expanding the committee to 1,500 members but also tightening the criteria for candidates. New measures included a two-step national security screening process to ensure all members were loyal to the CCP.

Drew Pavlou arrested for holding an anti-Xi Jinping slogan in the street, after being harassed by Chinese people
Drew Pavlou, an Australian who has publicly supported Hong Kong many times in the past, spoke up again today (7 May) against Xi Jinping, holding up signs with the words "FREE TIBET" and "FREE HONG KONG" in a peaceful protest on the streets of Eastwood, a local Chinese community in Sydney. Drew was surrounded and harassed by several Chinese people.
The local police were called to the scene and arrested Drew for holding an unauthorised demonstration, taking him away in a police car.
Drew was released on bail after being held for five hours, and was charged with one count of disobeying a police direction and was brought to court on 25 May. He was released on bail on the condition that he would not be allowed within a one-kilometre radius of Eastwood. He was also attacked by more than 50 Chinese people, including Cantonese speakers, who turned up at a similar event on the streets of Sydney a few days ago.
Drew Pavlou, 22, has been known since 2019 for his criticism of the Chinese Communist Party's human rights issues in Xinjiang and Tibet and his support for the anti-China movement in Hong Kong. He is currently running for a seat in the Queensland Federal Senate in 2022.

Hong Kong Lawmaker: Legalizing same sex marriage destroys social value and violates national security law
In a reply to Legislative Council member Regina Ip, chairperson of the New People Party, about the legislation schedule of the Sex Discrimination Ordinance (#SDO), the Equal Opportunities Commission (#EOC) chairperson Chu Man-kin said that there was no timetable for the ordinance at the moment and should not have a rigid one.
But he said that an internal study has reached a consensus on some of the issues.
However, another legislator Junius Ho Kwan-yiu said that legalising homosexual marriage is a matter of right and wrong, and will directly destroy the composition of society and families.
He claims that the dissemination of undesirable ideologies like this was prohibited under Article 23 of the National Security Law of the People's Republic of China.
