The upcoming electoral reform in Hong Kong does not touch on the question of democratic processes in Hong Kong, China's Foreign Minister said on Sunday, refuting some critics in Western countries and regions, including the US and EU, on the reform, saying that no side cares more about the city's democratic development, stability and prosperity more than the Chinese central government.
Improving Hong Kong's electoral system and implementing the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong" is a constitutional, legitimate, just and reasonable act, Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Sunday at a press conference on the sidelines of the ongoing two sessions in Beijing.
