    Hong Kong’s Stage-Managed Election Is Fooling Nobody (香港精心安排嘅選舉係呃唔到任何人)

    //...The dilemma for officials in Hong Kong and Beijing is that they’ve advanced a comforting version of events to accompany the wrenching changes imposed on the city. That could be summarized as: The national security law and electoral redesign are popular and have improved rather than crushed democracy, by rooting out a minority of anti-China troublemakers so that “patriots” can govern...//
    香港同北京官員嘅困境在於,佢地為強加於依座城市嘅痛苦改變,提出咗一個令人欣慰嘅敘述。大致上係:通過剷除少數反華麻煩製造者以利「愛國者」執政,係改善咗而唔係摧毀民主,所以國家安全法同完善選舉制度好受歡迎。

    //...This will now be put to the test. The official version ignores the majority support the pro-democracy camp regularly commanded in open elections, the decades they were left to operate unfettered, and the largely moderate and constitutional nature of their demands...//
    依家就係對依個講法進行測試。官方版本嘅論述忽略咗,喺公開選舉中親民主陣營經常獲大多數人支持,而且佢地過去嘅幾十年可以不受約束咁運作,仲有佢地嘅訴求好大部份都係溫和同符合憲制。

    //...It’s not surprising that officials appear agitated by the prospect of blank ballots and abstentions. The likelihood was always that Beijing’s remodeled voting arrangements would be a stillborn affair. Keep an eye on the turnout rate next month...//
    而一眾官員似乎對白票同缺席投票嘅前景感到不安,亦都唔奇怪。北京改造投票安排本來一直都可能係胎死腹中嘅事情。姑且睇睇下個月嘅投票率。
