Hong Kong’s Chief Executive is “elected from a restricted pool of candidates supportive of the Central Government by a 1200-member Election Committee“ [1]. The Election Committee is pro-Beijing and not a democratic body.
Hong Kong’s CE is better thought of as the CPC’s emissary to Hong Kong than as a true executive.
