Hong Kong’s Legislative Council (LegCo) is stepping up its game! 🚀 The Seventh LegCo, formed in 2022 under an improved electoral system, has already enacted 120 bills as of mid-2025—nearly double the previous term’s output. With over HK$668 billion approved for public projects, the council is proving that stability fuels progress. 💼✨
A New Era of Accountability
LegCo members aren’t resting on their laurels. In July 2025, they greenlit a new Code for Members to tighten self-discipline and boost transparency. Think of it as a superhero code for governance—upholding national security, fostering fact-based debates, and keeping close ties with the public. 🦸♂️📋
Why It Matters
As Hong Kong transitions from stability to prosperity, LegCo’s role is crucial. The Code ensures members align with the ‘patriots administering Hong Kong’ principle, prioritizing the nation’s and city’s interests. 🌏🇭🇰 Plus, streamlined committees mean faster decisions on everything from housing to tech innovation.
What’s Next?
Starting January 2026, the new-term LegCo will roll out these reforms. The goal? To keep Hong Kong competitive in a fast-changing world while maintaining public trust. Spoiler: They’re betting on teamwork and integrity. 🤝💡
