Please avoid such discussions in Perspective.
1. The whole discussion has very few points from India perspective. As such, it is not useful for GS-II International Relations.
2. There is a separate programme- Diplomatic Dispatch for IR. So, Perspective should focus more on Socioeconomic and constitutional issues.

HK people don't have a habit to vote. HK was ruled by Britain for 150 years. During British rule, HK high officials were appointed by Britain, not elected.
