Hong Kong's first Legislative Council (LegCo) election since the electoral system overhaul took place on December 19, marking a major milestone for the region. Residents shared their hopes for the future, with one emphasizing: 'Patriots can get Hong Kong back on track' 🚀.
The reformed electoral process aims to ensure 'patriots administering Hong Kong', a principle highlighted by Beijing to bolster stability.
