Chinese Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang urged Hong Kong's Legislative Council (LegCo) to produce more "practical outcomes" that align with Hong Kong's conditions and Beijing's expectations. Speaking during the "two sessions," Ding emphasized the importance of Hong Kong's executive-led governance system, stating it is a shared responsibility of the legislature, judiciary, and all sectors of society. He referenced President Xi Jinping's new governance requirements for Hong Kong and encouraged the LegCo, led by Starry Lee, to explore and study the executive-led system further. Ding's remarks came in response to a speech by Lee, who highlighted the LegCo's support for China's 15th five-year plan. He expressed hope that the LegCo would contribute significantly under the executive-led system.
