[Emily Lau, Elected Legislator]:
“Hong Kong cannot go backwards . We have gone backwards -democracy, human rights and the rule of law. So now that I am back in, I’m going to uphold these core values. And I don’t think the Hong Kong people don’t want them, it’s just that the powers that be do not want us to talk about it.”
当选的刘慧卿说：“香港不能走回头路，我们已经落后了：民主、人权和法治。所以我要悍卫这些核心价值，而且，我不认为香港人不想要这些，而是当权者不想让我们讨论。”

The Democrats have been pressuring Beijing’s communist leaders to allow direct polls as promised in the city’s Basic Law. But the CCP has only allowed universal suffrage in 2017, a move the pro-democracy parties fear will be watered down .
民主人士曾施压北京共产党领导人，履行当初承诺的城市基本法，允许直接选举。但是中国共产党只同意2017年普选，支持民主的政党担心这个议案也将会被延缓。

Since 1997, the Chinese regime has kept Hong Kong on a tight political leash . 自1997统治以来，中国对香港一直采严格的政治控制。
