3月11日，十三届全国人大四次会议以高票表决通过《全国人民代表大会关于完善香港特别行政区选举制度的决定》。决定列出了针对香港特区行政长官和立法会的产生办法的一系列改革举措，以确保“爱国者治港”。

China's top legislature adopted a decision on improving the electoral system of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on March 11, unveiling a series of measures that will reform how the region's chief executive and local lawmakers are elected to ensure "patriots administering Hong Kong". The decision was endorsed by an overwhelming majority vote at the fourth session of the 13th National People's Congress (NPC).

香港由乱及治的重大转折，再次昭示了一个深刻道理，那就是要确保“一国两制”实践行稳致远，必须始终坚持“爱国者治港”。这是事关国家主权、安全、发展利益，事关香港长期繁荣稳定的根本原则。

Hong Kong's transition from chaos to stability has once again demonstrated that the principle of "patriots governing Hong Kong" must be always upheld to ensure the steady and sustained implementation of "one country, two systems". It is the fundamental principle that concerns national sovereignty, security and development interests, as well as Hong Kong's prosperity and stability in the long run.
