A number of overseas Hong Kong people’s groups and former Hong Kong lawmakers launched a joint signature campaign online, claiming that the chief executive designate, John Lee Ka Chiu, does not have the people’s mandate and is only a puppet appointed by Beijing and that he is not recognised as the Hong Kong Chief Executive (CE).
They also do not recognise the dictatorship of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Up till the evening on June 15, 2022 Hong Kong time, there had been about four hundred people participating by signing in. The sponsoring group lamented that under the shadow of the “Hong Kong National Security Law,” connection with any organisation in Hong Kong had been curtailed and there are no channels for promoting their ideas. But they insist that no matter how insignificant their actions may be, they insist on doing so regardless.
