China’s government has promised Hong Kong’s citizens that they can freely elect their Chief Executive in 2017. But, given that candidates are to be carefully vetted by an unelected committee of pro-Chinese appointees, citizens would have no meaningful choice at all.
中国政府承诺香港公民，他们可以在2017年自由选举首席行政长官。但是，由于候选人需要受到由亲中派担任委员的非选举产生的委员会的仔细审查，实际上公民可以说完全没有选择。只有“爱中国”的人——也就是爱中国共产党的人——需要申请。
