The chief executive is elected by a special electoral college, the 800 seats of which represent 38 sectors of Hong Kong society. Nominally the members are elected from different sectors, but in reality almost all are appointed by the Chinese government.
至於負責特首選舉的「選舉委員會」，800 席委員分別代表香港社會的 38 種「界別」，名義上由各界代表投票產生，實際上卻幾乎全數由中共指定。
