Survey: Half of the HK Population Think Hong Kong Now Runs On 'One Country One System'
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#PORI) released on 19 June 2020 a new survey report on the population opinion on 'One Country Two Systems'. It was shown that 78% of pro-democracy respondents agreed “One Country Two Systems has become One Country One System” and 17% disagreed.
As 67% of pro-establishment respondents disagreed with this statement, it made a total of 50% respondents agreeing to it.
Honorary director of 'We Hongkongers' program Wong Wai-Kwok Benson pointed out that the only way for the Hong Kong government to gain support has become “threats and high-handed measures”.
The research was conducted from 16 June to 18 June, with a total of 6,655 respondents.

#PORI Survey: Officials to give up immediate family member's foreign nationality to show loyalty to China
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (PORI) revealed that 96% of pro-democracy supporters and 52% who are not pro-democracy supporters agree that the spouses and children of high-ranking officials of Hong Kong should forfeit their foreign nationality in order to show their loyalty for China.
The survey was conducted online, and received 6908 responses from people above 18.
Leung Kai Chi, Honorary Director of the "We Hongkongers" initiative, explained that the research revealed how much people care about whether high-ranking officials and their relatives possess foreign passports. If the officials do not forfeit the foreign passports of their immediate family members within their household, their stance will contradict their actions, and it is more likely that people will doubt their where their true allegiance lies.

PORI: Hong Kong Police May Have Democracy Camp Primary Election Officers' Data
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (PORI) stated that police searched its office on 10 July without a search warrant. They may have taken a list containing the contact information of 200 primary election polling station officers. PORI wrote to HKPF earlier for a copy of the collected data and prohibited the Force to transfer the data to other law enforcement authorities, government organisations and other third parties. PORI believed that the case HKPF was working on was not related to the primary election.
HKPF responded by stating that some citizens reported a case of hacker stealing information from the primary election system, so they went to PORI’s office in Wong Chuk Hang for evidence. Yet, any relevant information was part of the operation, so it cannot be disclosed. No one has been arrested.
PORI chairman and CEO Chung Ting-yiu said that the HKPF never explained what they were investigating, nor presented them a copy of the warrant. Chung pointed out that all election data was encrypted and have now been destroyed.
Lawyer Alan Wong stated that the primary election was not against the Chinese National Security Law, thus the polling station officers did not break any law. He pointed out that it was arguable whether the police was taking the data legally, since they should only be using the data for the case stated in the search warrant.

Carrie Lam Uses Emergency Law to Delay Hong Kong's Legislative Election for One Year, Further Arrangement to be Made by Beijing
The Hong Kong SAR Government announced the postponement of the Legislative Election one day after 12 pro-democracy candidates, including incumbent lawmakers of Civic Party, were barred from running in the election.
The HKSAR government has particularly cited the difficulty for 600,000 senior citizens and registered Hong Kong voters in China to cast their ballots during the coronavirus outbreak in Hong Kong.
This is the second time Carrie Lam invoked the Emergency Regulations Ordinance in less than a year. In October 2019, the HKSAR government bypassed the legislature to enforce a mask ban at the height of the Anti-ELAB movement.
In a survey result released by Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#PORI) on the same day, 73% of the respondents with a pro-democracy orientation did not want to postpone the LegCo election.
The nomination period ends on 31 July, but many nominees have yet to receive any confirmation of their candidacy.
Tam Yiu Chung, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, had stated on 21 July that many Hong Kong citizens had moved to the Greater Bay Area, and have no permanent residence in Hong Kong. According to data from the Census and Statistics Department, as of mid-2019, about 540 thousand Hong Kong citizens usually stay in Guangdong Province, with only 129 thousand (24 %) being part of Hong Kong's resident population.
According to article 28 of the Legislative Council Ordinance, "A natural person is not eligible to be registered as an elector in the register of geographical constituencies unless, at the time of applying for registration, the person satisfies the Electoral Registration Officer that the person ordinarily resides in Hong Kong; and that the residential address notified in the person’s application for registration is the person’s only or principal residence in Hong Kong.
For the time being, the new date Carrie Lam set for the Legislative Election is September 5, 2021.
