The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government will submit its constitutional reform plan to the Legislative Council on Wednesday. The first Hong Kong chief executive (CE) was chosen by a selection committee and appointed by the central government. Since the second term Jacob Evans Authentic Jersey , the CE has been chosen by the Election Committee and all of them appointed by the central government.
The selection committee and Election Committee represent the progress the SAR has made since Hong Kong's reunification with the motherland in 1997, but they still don't meet all the requirements of universal suffrage.
According to Article 45 of Hong Kong's Basic Law, the goal of the constitutional reform is the selection of the CE through universal suffrage after being nominated by a broadly representative Nomination Committee in accordance with democratic procedures. The most important goal of universal suffrage is to grant every voter in Hong Kong the right to vote.
But some people say universal suffrage must be electing the CE and Legislative Council members through direct vote. And this is the cause of all the confusion and misunderstandings over universal suffrage.
The core of universal suffrage principle is that all voters, irrespective of their gender, economic status Andre Iguodala Authentic Jersey , education level and ethnicity, should be able to vote. In this sense, people voting to elect a CE from among the candidates chosen by the Nomination Committee is true universal suffrage, and universal suffrage in Hong Kong is also direct election, that is Kevon Looney Authentic Jersey , people casting their votes themselves rather than through representatives or agencies.
Some people in Hong Kong want to add public nomination and party nomination to the nomination process, which don't have any legal basis. First, nomination subjects that are outside the Basic Law's stipulation don't have nomination rights. Election is a matter of public law. And the Basic Law says the Nomination Committee has the power to nominate CE candidates, which means no other individual or organization has the right to do so.
And second, public nomination is a misunderstanding of direct election Jordan Bell Authentic Jersey , for it includes public nomination in the direct election process, confusing it with the right of the public to vote.
Hong Kong's constitutional reform plan is aimed at implementing true universal suffrage at all the stages of election, from recommendations to casting of ballots. To start with, any individual can apply to be a Hong Kong CE candidate as long as certain conditions for the post are fulfilled.
At the recommendation and nomination stage, all the applicants have equal opportunity Nate Thurmond Authentic Jersey , because any of them can drum up support from the 1,200 members of the Nomination Committee.
At the voting stage, formal candidates for the post of CE (those that meet all the Nomination Committee's requirements) have equal rights to be elected, as long as they meet the requirements of Article 44 of the Basic Law of being "a Chinese citizen of not less than 40 years of age who is a permanent resident of the (Special Administrative) Region with no right of abode in any foreign country and has ordinarily resided in Hong Kong for a continuous period of no less than 20 years".
Also at the voting stage, all the about 5 million eligible Hong Kong voters enjoy the "one person Rick Barry Authentic Jersey , one vote" universal suffrage right. All the voters enjoy universal and equal rights to vote to elect the Hong Kong CE, which is the highlight of universal suffrage in the SAR.
In other words, if two-thirds of the members of the Legislative Council approve the universal suffrage plan, Hong Kong voters' dream of universal suffrage will come true. Universal suffrage in Hong Kong CE's election means equal, fair Mitch Richmond Authentic Jersey , democratic and competitive election, which is true universal suffrage and a milestone in the SAR's democratic process.
Hopefully, Legislative Council members realize their historical responsibility and contribute to Hong Kong's constitutional reform.
PANAMA CITY, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- The newly expanded Panama Canal said on Wednesday it expected some 235 cruise ships to cross the larger waterway this winter high season.
The canal's 2017-2018 cruise season will officially kick off on Oct. 2 with the Island Princess, the first cruise ship to include voyages through the larger locks on its regular itinerary Chris Mullin Authentic Jersey , the Panama Canal Authority (ACP) said in a statement.
A larger canal with bigger locks were built to accommodate today's neopanamax ships -- behemoth container carriers named after the expanded waterway that connects the Pacific and Atlantic oceans -- and inaugurated in June 2016.
The Island Princess' 19-day itinerary begins in the U.S. city of Los Angeles, California, then continues down the west coast towards Central America, visiting ports in Mexico, Guatemala and Nicaragua before returning to its home port of Los Angeles.
The biggest cruise ship expected to cross the expanded canal will be the Norwegian Bliss Latrell Sprewell Authentic Jersey , currently under construction and designed to carry some 4,200 passengers, according to the Panama Canal's International Trade Specialist Albano Aguilar.
On Tuesday, the expanded canal welcomed the 2,000th neopanamax ship Wilt Chamberlain Authentic Jersey , which was a Chinese cargo carrier that operates between Asia and the Caribbean.
"The COSCO Yantian container ship completed the milestone transit through the expanded canal traveling northbound from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean," the ACP said.
