  • Small Circle, Entrenched Interest: the Electoral Anomalies of Hong Kong Deputies to the National People's Congress
    SMALL CIRCLE, ENTRENCHED INTEREST: THE ELECTORAL ANOMALIES OF HONG KONG DEPUTIES TO THE NATIONAL PEOPLE'S CONGRESS 0 D.W Choy* and Fu Hualing* Theoretically, Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress (NPC) represent the interests of Hong Kong people in China's highest organ of state power. The Central Authorities, through the Standing Committee of the NPC, exert a tight control over the electoral process in Hong Kong by making electoral rules, limiting the scope of eligible voters, and by utilisingother formal and informal control mechanisms. Yet, a degree of autonomy in the electoral process produces results different from those expected by the CentralAuthorities. This article argues that the "(small circle" election creates opportunities and incentives for developing special interests. Gradually, these special interests become entrenched and develop a life of their own. 1. Introduction This article studies the anomalies of the procedure of election of Hong Kong deputies to the National People's Congress (Hong Kong NPC Election) and, through an examination of the election processes and the outcomes of the Ninth and Tenth Hong Kong NPC Elections, discusses the controversies sur- rounding the Hong Kong NPC Election in Hong Kong.' The Central Authorities in Beijing, through the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC), exerts a tight control over the electoral process in Hong Kong by making electoral rules, limiting the scope of eligible voters, and by utilising other formal and informal control mechanisms. Yet, a degree of autonomy in the electoral process produces results different from those expected by the Central Authorities.
