“There is no way we can accept the election, which was completely under the control of the Chinese Liaison Office,” Professor Joseph Cheng at City University of Hong Kong said. He called for Hong Kong residents to “take advantage of every opportunity to stand up against such anti-democratic, anti-Hong Kong policy.”
Hong Kong lawmaker Leung Kwok-hung, a founding member of the League of Social Democrats and a democratic political activist, said, “We must recognize that communist China is a dictatorship without human conscience. Even if we want to resist, there is very little room left for us.”
Leung Kwok-hung, however, has urged the Hong Kong people not to be scared by communism.
