Pekín. China aprobó este martes una reforma radical del sistema electoral de Hong Kong que dejará prácticamente sin voz a la oposición del territorio semiautónomo, ya que reduce los diputados elegidos directamente por los ciudadanos y estipula que Pekín decidirá si los candidatos son “patriotas”.

Esta reforma impuesta por el poder comunista sin consultar al Consejo Legislativo (LegCo), el parlamento de Hong Kong, es un nuevo paso adelante de Pekín para retomar el control de la excolonia británica tras las protestas prodemocracia del 2019.
