AMTD Group published a statement in Hong Kong's mainstream media, expressing its firm support for the National People's Congress to exercise its powers to improve the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and fully implement the principle of "patriots administering Hong Kong".

Mr. Calvin Choi, Chairman of AMTD Group, Invited Vice President of the China Association of Young Entrepreneurs, Vice Chairman of the Greater Bay Area Common Home Youth Charity Fund, and Chairman of the Greater Bay Area Young Entrepreneurs Association, said that it is legal, necessary and imperative for the National People's Congress to exercise its constitutional power and fulfill its constitutional responsibilities in accordance with the Constitution and the Basic Law of Hong Kong to amend and improve the electoral system of Hong Kong. Patriotism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the vast majority of Hong Kong compatriots, and should also be the foundation of governance for those who are entrusted by the people to take on the important task of governing Hong Kong. The comprehensive implementation of "patriots governing Hong Kong" is the key to ensuring the steady and long-term implementation of the "one country, two systems" policy, and it is also the only way for Hong Kong to achieve good governance. This move is of great and far-reaching significance for filling the loopholes in Hong Kong's electoral system, implementing the fundamental principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong", safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests, promoting the steady and long-term implementation of "one country, two systems", and ensuring the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong.
