Top Hong Kong officials are set to launch a large-scale campaign next week to explain to the city why Beijing is overhauling its electoral system and introducing measures to ensure only patriots can govern locally.

Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang Kwok-wai revealed the publicity drive on Friday during the first meeting of a Legislative Council subcommittee tasked with discussing the central government’s proposed electoral reforms and scrutinising the bills required to deliver them.
