All the 90 members of the seventh-term Legislative Council (LegCo) of China's Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) had been elected by Monday.
Experts and scholars said the election truly implemented the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong," which is conducive to Hong Kong's future prosperity and development, as well as stability and security.
Kwon Ki-sik, head of the Korea-China City Friendship Association, said the smooth and stable election is conducive to Hong Kong's long-term stability and security, as well as its economic recovery and prosperity.
Natee Taweesrifuengfung, president of the Thailand-based Siam Think Tank, said that new LegCo members come from different backgrounds, professions and social strata, and are widely representative, which has improved the LegCo election system.
The expert said that the new electoral system can ensure that patriots govern Hong Kong and those who love Hong Kong administer Hong Kong.
Uzbek expert Tulanbay Kurbanov said the new electoral system has ruled out those who are opposed to China and attempt to destabilize Hong Kong, reshaping the political structure of Hong Kong and making Hong Kong into the era of "patriots governing Hong Kong."
President of Hong Kong Singapore Business Association Philip Chan expressed his hope that the new LegCo members could effectively serve the people of Hong Kong, and the members elected under the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong" could pay more attention to Hong Kong's livelihood and economic development for the benefit of the people of Hong Kong.
