我們看到以色列設有二戰紀念館，也看到德國在柏林市中心撥出土地，豎立2,700多個一磚磚混凝土組成的紀念牌坊。
We saw that Israel has a World War II memorial hall and Germany has set aside land in the centre of Berlin to erect more than 2 700 concrete memorial arches
我曾親身前往，在那裏會感受到戰爭的禍害，會感受到那種痛。
I have been there myself and I felt the scourge of the war or the sort of pain there
我們看到三藩市、南 韓首爾等城市，也豎立了慰安婦銅像，為何香港不可以再多做一些呢？
We have seen that cities like San Francisco and Seoul South Korea have also erected bronze statues of comfort women so why can Hong Kong not do more?
我們看到這些紀念館和紀念像，可以讓年輕一代看得到、感受到當年的歷史，會珍惜這些教育的機會。
We can see that these memorial halls and memorial statues will allow the younger generation to see and feel the history of those years and they will cherish these educational opportunities
主席，1941年日軍攻佔香港，香港經歷了3年8個月的慘痛日子，我國8年抗戰，死亡人數超過1,700萬人。
President the Japanese army occupied Hong Kong in 1941 and Hong Kong experienced three years and eight months of misery . During our countrys eight - year war of resistance more than 17 million people died
如果香港沒有專屬的抗日戰爭紀念館，我覺得對我們國家民族和年輕一代欠缺一個交代。
If Hong Kong does not have a dedicated memorial hall for the war of resistance against Japanese aggression we I think owe our country our nation and the young generation an explanation . President only when there is the country can there be a family
主席，有國才有家，抗日英雄永垂不朽，銘記歷史，吾輩自強。
Eternal glory to the heroes of the war of resistance! . Let us remember the history and strengthen ourselves
我感謝劉業強議員提出"推動抗日戰爭歷史的教育"議案。
I thank Mr Kenneth LAU for proposing the motion on Promoting education on the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression
抗日戰爭是中國歷史上重要的一頁，在這段屈辱的歷史中，全國 人民展現出不屈不撓的抗戰精神，香港亦擁有光榮的愛國傳統，特別是新界人。
The War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression is an important chapter in the history of China . During this historical period of humiliation all people across the country demonstrated their indomitable spirit of resistance in the war . Hong Kong also has a glorious patriotic tradition especially among the people in the New Territories
在3年8個月的日寇佔領香港時期，在中國共產黨的領導下展開了抗日戰爭，其中東江縱隊港九獨立大隊是由民間組成的組織力量。
During the three years and eight months of Japanese occupation of Hong Kong the war against Japan was launched under the leadership of the Communist Party of China CPC . Among others the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column was an organized force in the community
我留意到，特區政府對香港抗日歷史及保育遺蹟上投放的資源和力度，事實上是太少，可能只是舉辦一些短期展覽和官方紀念儀式，令香港市民對這段光榮歷史認識不多。
I have noticed that the SAR Government has in fact injected too little resources and efforts into the history of Hong Kongs War of Resistance and heritage conservation . It may have merely organized some short - term exhibitions and official commemorative ceremonies . Consequently Hong Kong people have little knowledge of this glorious episode in history
把本地的抗日事蹟用於愛國教育用途，意義深遠。
It is of profound significance to use the historical facts about local resistance against Japanese aggression for patriotic education
現時，本港的抗日戰爭教育工作主要是透過小學的常識科，以及初中和高中的歷史科進行。
At present Hong Kongs education on the War of Resistance is mainly conducted through General Studies in primary schools and History at junior and senior secondary levels
行政長官在2017年的施政報告提出落實中國歷史在初中成為獨立必修科，促進認識國情和中華文化。
In her 2017 Policy Address the Chief Executive proposed to make Chinese History an independent compulsory subject at the junior secondary level to foster understanding of the country and the Chinese culture
其實，除了在課堂內，當我們走出課堂外，也可以好好利用現有資源，對年輕人進行愛國教育。
Actually apart from teaching in the classroom we can also make good use of existing resources to educate young people on patriotism outside the classroom
國務院在2015年和2020年，先後把烏蛟騰抗日英烈紀念碑和斬竹灣抗日英烈紀念碑列入國家級抗戰紀念設施、遺址名錄，可見中央對這段香港歷史的尊重和深度重視。
In 2015 and 2020 the State Council respectively incorporated the Memorial Monument for Wu Kau Tang Martyrs and the Memorial Monument for Sai Kung Martyrs in Tsam Chuk Wan into the List of State Facilities and Sites Marking the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression showing the Central Authorities respect for and deep appreciation of this episode in Hong Kong history
事實上，我每年都會前往烏蛟騰，亦看到近年越來越多香港市民和團體到烏蛟騰向我們的烈士致敬，不忘初心。
In fact I visit Wu Kau Tang every year and in recent years I have seen an increasing number of Hong Kong people and organizations paying tribute to our martyrs at Wu Kau Tang never forgetting their original passion
民間對此越來越重視，但政府對有關的配套和支援確實不足。
While the community is paying more and more attention to this matter the relevant ancillary measures and support from the Government are indeed inadequate
我早前曾發表《新界北建設香港新中心倡議書》，建議應該在沙頭角鹽田一帶建設生態及歷史旅遊帶，發展生態和歷史旅遊，令到除了香港市民外，全國人民也可以對這段寶貴歷史有所認知，這亦應該要大力推動。
Earlier on I have published a proposal on developing New Territories North into a new centre in Hong Kong recommending that an ecological and historical tourism belt should be established in the vicinity of Sha Tau Kok and Yantian for the development of eco - tourism and historical tourism so that the people of not only Hong Kong but also the whole country will be able to learn about this precious episode in history . This warrants promotion with great efforts
本港年輕人在書本學習歷史之餘，如果能夠到這些地方實地遊覽，相信對歷史的知識會更立體，更加明白今天安逸的生活並非理所當然。
If young people in Hong Kong can make site visits to these places in addition to learning history from books I believe they will have a more comprehensive knowledge of history and appreciate more deeply that their comfortable life today should not be taken for granted
即使普羅市民，亦可在文物徑的遊覽過程中直觀地了解本港的抗戰歷史，消除部分人的舊有偏見。
Even the general public can learn about the history of Hong Kongs War of Resistance through direct experience during their visits to the heritage trails thus dispelling the old prejudices held by some people
近年發生的"黑暴"運動和"港獨"分子的苗頭冒起，反映本港在愛國教育方面的缺失。
The occurrence of black - clad riots and emergence of Hong Kong independence elements in recent years reflect Hong Kongs deficiency in patriotic education
政府應該加大力度，宣傳香港抗日英雄的事蹟，包括設立抗日戰爭歷史展覽廳、抗日英雄事蹟教育及文物徑，以及中國近代史館，推動全民認識中國共產黨的發展及新中國的成就，加深公眾對抗日歷史的了解，可以把香港的愛國教育推廣得更深更遠，有助未來社會穩定，增強民間的核心力。
The Government should step up its efforts to publicize the deeds of Hong Kongs anti - Japanese aggression heroes including setting up an exhibition hall on the history of the War of Resistance education and heritage trails on the historical facts about anti - Japanese aggression heroes and a museum on modern Chinese history so as to promote awareness of the development of CPC and achievements of new China among all members of the public and deepen public understanding of the history on the War of Resistance . It can facilitate deeper and more far - reaching promotion of patriotic education in Hong Kong which will be conducive to social stability in the future and help to enhance the core strength of the community
我支持劉業強議員的"推動抗日戰爭歷史的教育"議案，我謹此陳辭。
I support Mr Kenneth LAUs motion on Promoting education on the history of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression . I so submit
主席，1941年日本侵略香港，進入香港的地方，但很可惜，英軍抗戰19天後便宣布投降，市民當時非常狼狽，亦非常無助。
President in 1941 Japan invaded Hong Kong and entered the territory but much to our regret the British army declared its surrender after 19 days of resistance and the people were in great distress and felt most helpless back then
在這個時候，中國共產黨率領的東江縱隊港九獨立大隊肩負起保家衞國的責任，作出重大貢獻和犧牲，營救不少文化精英、盟軍戰俘和村民。
It was at that moment that the Hong Kong Independent Battalion of the Dongjiang Column led by the Communist Party of China took up the responsibility of defending the country and made significant contribution and sacrifices rescuing many cultural elites members of the Allied troops who had been captured and also villagers
他們的英勇事蹟永垂不朽，大家也知道，沙頭角以至烏蛟騰一帶，都非常值得我們保育，以及作為愛國教育的重要題材，但目前未有系統性整合。
Their heroic deeds will never be forgotten . As we all know the areas from Sha Tau Kok to Wu Kau Tang are very much worthy of our conservation . They also provide major topics and materials for patriotic education but they have yet to be collated and consolidated systematically so far
民政事務局局長徐英偉早前在6月16日回覆我提出的質詢時指出，香港歷史博物館和香港海防博物館均設有常設展廳，長期展示與抗戰有關的展品，更有系統地將整個香港淪陷，以至日軍投降的歷史作為常設展覽，也不時舉辦與抗戰有關的專題展覽。
In his reply to my question on 16 June Secretary for Home Affairs Caspar TSUI pointed out that both the Hong Kong Museum of History and the Hong Kong Museum of Coastal Defence have featured exhibits relating to the War of Resistance in their permanent exhibition galleries for long - term display . They have also held permanent exhibitions systematically on the entire part of history from the fall of Hong Kong to the surrender of the Japanese army and thematic exhibitions relating to the War of Resistance have also been staged from time to time
對於當局的做法，我表示歡迎，把具歷史價值的文物整合，方便市民參觀，不失為一個好辦法。
I welcome these efforts made by the Government in consolidating relics with historical value to facilitate public visits which is considered a good idea
可是，如果只是前往博物館，觀看冷 冰冰的展板，事實上不會令人有太大感受，而最好的辦法是實地學習。
That being said if people just go to a museum and look at the cold exhibition panels actually they will not have too strong a feeling and I would say that on - site learning will be the best
當時他們提出希望可以在這裏建造一條"沙頭角抗戰文物徑"，全長12.9公里，串連許多與抗戰相關的歷史遺址，包括香港抗日第一家羅氏族人的祖屋、南涌羅屋村、老龍田宴臺山、鹿頸村、烏蛟騰烈士紀念園及烏蛟騰村等，讓市民更清楚在香港淪陷期間，東江縱隊如何在這裏保家衞國，為整個民族出力。
They have expressed the wish to build a Sha Tau Kok Heritage Trail there to commemorate the War of Resistance . This trail which will be 12.9 km long will link up many historical sites relating to the War of Resistance including the ancestral house of the LUOs family which was the leading family in the fight against Japanese aggression in Hong Kong Lo Uk Village in Nam Chung Yin Toi Shan in Lo Lung Tin Luk Keng Tsuen Wu Kau Tang Martyrs Memorial Garden Wu Kau Tang Village etc . It will enable the public to have a better understanding of how the Dongjiang Column defended the country at these places during the fall of Hong Kong and made contribution to the whole nation
這些保家衞國的英勇事蹟，是現代人的學習模範，同時也可以令年青一代有保家衞國的民族感。
These heroic deeds to defend the country are models for modern people to learn from and they at the same time help develop among the younger generation national sentiments to defend the country
但很可惜，這建議仿如石沉大海，因為提出來後，一直沒有得到政府積極的回應。
But it is most regrettable that this proposal seems to have fallen on deaf ears as no positive response has been heard from the Government after the proposal was made
我亦多次向不同政府部門爭取，希望政府可以就着這類文物徑提出比較有規模而且有計劃的保育計劃，甚至是發展計劃。
I have also repeatedly lobbied support from different government departments in the hope that the Government can come up with plans that are larger in scale and better organized for conservation and even for development
但很可惜，政府直到目前也沒有任何撥款或資源推動，甚至連計劃也未有。
But most regrettably the Government has not allocated funding or resources to promote it and worse still there is not even a plan for it so far
所以，我希望藉着今天的辯論，可以令公眾和政府更加清楚知道議員認為這段歷史非常重要，也希望在接着的施政報告中，政府能夠回應還原這段歷史的訴求，讓我們真正可以做到國民教育。
Therefore I hope that through todays debate the public and the Government will understand more clearly that Members attach great importance to this period of history . I also hope that in the coming policy address the Government will respond to the aspiration for restoring these historical facts to enable us to truly carry out national education effectively
國民教育很簡單，國家民族的認同感，以及自身文化優越感，這兩點是不能磨滅的，我希望局方可以正視......
Put simply national education serves to develop a sense of belonging to the country and to the nation and a sense of superiority about our own culture and these two points cannot be obliterated
接着，在1919年，她竟然可以像其他歐洲國家在一次大戰後一樣，從德國手上取得山東，所謂何事？
As a result China had been at rock bottom not being able to climb back up for a long time . Then in 1919 Japan even managed to take Shandong from Germany just as other European countries had done after the First World War . So what was the purpose?
在1931年，"撻着""九一八"事件，這便是14年抗日戰爭的序幕。
In 1931 the 18 September incident was sparked off marking the prelude to the 14 - year War of Resistance against Japanese aggression
打贏中國，鯨吞中國和東南亞的領土，超過其土地面積20倍至30倍，但她竟然說"食不夠"，蛇吞象，"無啦啦走去惹撻瘌"，前去珍珠港，不是找珍珠，而是打美軍，美國也去不到一半，5,000里路不是八千里路雲和月拋風浪雨，他們攻打珍珠港，然後回來後卻被人投擲兩顆原子彈，是甚麼原因呢？
After defeating China and annexing the territories of China and Southeast Asia measuring 20 to 30 times bigger than her own land area Japan outrageously did not stop but wanted more and driven by insatiable greed she stirred up troubles for no reason . She went to Pearl Harbor not to look for pearls but to fight the American army . The United States was not even half way there given a distance of 5 000 miles apart―not 8 000 miles of clouds and moon―Braving the winds and rain they attacked Pearl Harbor and then after their return they ended up with two atomic bombs being dropped on them
主席，這段歷史值得我們考究。
Why? . President this part of history is worthy of our serious thoughts
以日本今天這國度，仍然是美國的代理人。
Today this country of Japan is still an agent of the United States
所以，這段歷史，我們一 定要看得通，不單看我們這段如此小的歷史，而是看宏觀性的歷史，我認為這值得我們深究。
Therefore we must understand this period of history thoroughly . We should look at not only this brief history of ours but we should look at the macro history and this I think warrants our in - depth studies
今天我們要知道，要丟掉幻想。
Today we must understand that we have to cast away illusions
毛主席針對一部分中國人對美帝抱有幻想而發出沉重的"丟掉幻想，準備戰爭"的警號，這便是我們今天"前事不忘，後事之師"，日本人和美國人的滅華心不死，早於兩個世紀前已經有此狼子之心。
Targetting some Chinese people who had illusions about the American Empire Chairman MAO issued this dire warning Cast away illusions Prepare for struggle . This echoes our message today that past experience if not forgotten is a guide for the future . The Japanese and the Americans never give up their wish to destroy China
代理主席，我發言支持張華峰議員的議案。
Deputy President I speak in support of Mr Christopher CHEUNGs motion
在我發言前，我也想說說，數年來，在行政會議上，有一位同事坐在我身旁，他叫任志剛。
Before I start my speech I would like to say that over the past few years I have had a colleague sitting next to me in the Executive Council . His name is Joseph YAM
今天我的發言很多內容也受其影響。
Much of my speech today can be attributed to his influence
香港一直是中國與世界往來的重要窗口，不同數據顯示，中國約有三分之二的外商直接投資、對外直接投資和大部分金融投資均由香港發起及處理。
Hong Kong has always been an important window for Chinas dealings with the world . Various figures show that about two thirds of Chinas foreign direct investment and external direct investment as well as most of its financial investment were originated and handled in Hong Kong
作為內地的主要貿易夥伴之一，香港不僅為內地的商品服務提供貿易通道，也同時推動了人民幣的國際使用。
As one of the Mainlands major trading partners Hong Kong not only provides a trade corridor for Mainland goods and services but also promotes the international use of Renminbi RMB
中央宣講團較早前講解國家"十四五"規劃，並明確賦予香港金融定位離岸人民幣樞紐。
Earlier on the Publicity Delegation of the Central Authorities has expounded on the National 14th Five - Year Plan establishing a clear financial positioning for Hong Kong an offshore RMB hub
隨着人民幣業務的蓬勃發展，全球多個金融城市加入競逐離岸人民幣中心的地位，"十四五"這個定位無疑為香港注入一劑強心針。
Following the vibrant development of the RMB business various financial cities around the world have joined in to compete for the position of offshore RMB centre . Such positioning by the 14th Five - Year Plan has undoubtedly given Hong Kong a shot in the arm
代理主席，在現時複雜的地緣政治和中美關係惡化下，加上美國不負責任的財政和貨幣政策，恃着美國、美元的地位就無視龐大的赤字，繼續印鈔票。
Deputy President given the current complicated geopolitics and deteriorating relationship between China and the United States coupled with the irresponsible fiscal and monetary policies of the United States which thinking highly of its own status and that of the US dollar USD continues to print money regardless of its huge deficit the Liberal Party sees the need of the country to reduce its reliance on USD
所以，自由黨認為國家要減低對美元的依賴，並認為香港應把握"十四五"規劃的機遇，協助國家進一步將人民幣盡快國際化。
We also opine that Hong Kong should seize the opportunities from the 14th Five - Year Plan and help the country to further internationalize RMB expeditiously
自由黨認為在"一國兩制"下，打通兩制的資本流動和協助人民幣國際化是在"十四五"規劃下香港發展金融的關鍵。
The Liberal Party holds that under one country two systems the key to Hong Kongs financial development under the 14th Five - Year Plan is to facilitate the flow of capital between the two systems and assist in the internationalization of RMB
在"十四五"規劃中，雖然只有第六十一章提到香港，但其實細心閱讀，在第十二章《暢通國內大循環》和第十三章《促進國內國際雙循環》中，雖沒有說明香港的角色，但正因如此，香港有很大的空間思考如何融入國家發展大局及參與國內大循環。
In the 14th Five - Year Plan Hong Kong is mentioned only in Chapter 61 but if we read it carefully we will see that although the role of Hong Kong is not expressly stated in Chapter 12 Greater Domestic Circulation and Chapter 13 Domestic and International Circulation this has precisely allowed Hong Kong much room to consider how to integrate into the overall national development and participate in the domestic circulation
《十四五規劃綱要》第四十章提到："穩慎推進人民幣國際化，堅持市場驅動和企業自主選擇，營造以人民幣自由使用為基礎的新型互利合作關係"。
Chapter 40 of the Outline of the 14th Five - Year Plan reads We will steadily promote the internationalization of RMB in a prudent manner adhere to market - driven operation and independent choice of enterprises and create a new type of mutually beneficial cooperative relationship based on the free use of RMB
在"自由使用"基礎上，我們自由黨認為我們要進一步讓人民幣國際化，除了用作貿易結算，將人民幣推展至資本市場亦將會是人民幣國際化的一大進程最近任志剛亦曾提出這項建議例如恒生指數60隻成分股同時有港元及人民幣的買賣價，讓市場可以自由選擇用港元或人民幣交易。
On the basis of free use we in the Liberal Party consider that we should further facilitate the internationalization of RMB . Apart from using RMB for trade settlement extending it to the capital market will also be a major step forward in the internationalization of RMB as proposed by Joseph YAM recently . For example transaction prices of the 60 constituent stocks of the Hang Seng Index can be made available in both Hong Kong dollar HKD and RMB providing the market with a free choice to trade in HKD or RMB
要留意的是，我們並非要取代港元的地位，而是給予投資者多一個買賣選擇，投資者更有機會視之為人民幣資產及財富儲存工具，而海外投資者對於這些資產的需求可能有所增加，帶來正面影響，加快人民幣國際化進程。
A point to note is that we are not trying to replace HKD but rather to give investors an additional trading option . Investors will be more likely to regard the stocks as RMB assets and tools for storing wealth while overseas investors may have a greater demand for these assets thus bringing a positive impact and expediting the progress of internationalization of RMB
自由黨認為如有更多人使用人民幣投資，港元因股市波動而引發的資金流出、流入也會減少，令港元匯價穩定，甚至可鞏固香港國際金融中心的地位。
The Liberal Party opines that if more people use RMB for investment the outflow and inflow of capital in HKD due to fluctuations in the stock market will be reduced thereby stabilizing the exchange rate of HKD and even consolidating Hong Kongs status as an international financial centre
若想香港保持國家的國際金融中心的地位，必定要確保香港有處理人民幣交易的能力，以及保持香港貨幣金融穩定。
If we wish to maintain Hong Kongs status as an international financial centre of the country it is imperative to ensure Hong Kongs ability to deal with RMB transactions and preserve Hong Kongs monetary and financial stability
最後，《十四五規劃綱要》是一份非常豐富的文件，社會應集思廣益，好好利用這個機會，使香港經濟發展得更好、更遠。
Lastly the Outline of the 14th Five - Year Plan is a very rich document . The community should draw on collective wisdom and make good use of this opportunity so that the Hong Kong economy can develop better and further
代理主席，我謹此陳辭，支持張華峰議員的議案。
With these remarks Deputy President I support Mr Christopher CHEUNGs motion
主席，2021年立法會換屆選舉將於今年12月19日舉行。
President the 2021 Legislative Council LegCo General Election will be held on 19 December this year
有市民指出，這是完善選舉制度以落實"愛國者治港"這項最重 要的原則後的首次立法會選舉，意義重大。
Some members of the public have pointed out that this Election has a significant meaning in that it is the first LegCo election to be held after the electoral system has been improved to implement the most fundamental principle of patriots administering Hong Kong
然而，在2019年區議會選舉於候選人拉票期間以至投票日，社會出現大量以暴力阻礙個別候選人以至其團隊進行競選活動的違法行為。
However during the canvassing period for candidates and even on the polling day of the 2019 District Council DC Election there were numerous illegal acts in society which involved the use of violence to obstruct individual candidates and their teams from conducting electioneering activities
另外，網上亦出現大量偏激及失實的文宣，以圖抹黑個別候選人及整項投票安排，以及鼓吹選民以行動妨礙其他選民投票，以至抵制選舉。
In addition a large quantity of extreme and misrepresented propaganda appeared on the Internet in an attempt to discredit individual candidates and the entire polling arrangement advocate electors to take actions to obstruct other electors from voting as well as boycott that Election
主席，全國人民代表大會在今年3月11日作出《全國人民代表大會關於完善香港特別行政區選舉制度的決定》，授權全國人大常務委員會修改《基本法》附件一《行政長官的產生辦法》及附件二《立法會的產生辦法和表決程序》。

Currently the Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau CMAB is working closely with the Electoral Affairs Commission EAC to ensure the three upcoming important elections are conducted in accordance with relevant legislation and in a fair open and honest manner
就李慧琼議員的質詢，經諮詢食物及衞生局、保安局及廉政公署後，現綜合答覆如下： 一 全國人大在3月11日通過《決定》後，為使香港各界更了解《決定》的背景、理念和原則，在3月15日至17日期間，全國人大常委會法制工作委員會會同國務院港澳事務辦公室、中央人民政府駐香港特別行政區聯絡辦公室就落實全國人大關於完善香港特別行政區選舉制度的決定，在香港舉辦了60多場座談會並舉行各項走訪、約談等活動，廣泛聽取香港社會各界代表人士的意見。
In consultation with the Food and Health Bureau FHB the Security Bureau and the Independent Commission Against Corruption ICAC our consolidated reply to Ms Starry LEEs question is as follows 1 Following the NPCs passage of the Decision on 11 March the Legislative Affairs Commission of the NPCSC together with the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council and the Liaison Office of the Central Peoples Government in the HKSAR organized more than 60 seminars and conducted various visits and meetings in Hong Kong on the implementation of the NPCs Decision on the improvement of the electoral system of the HKSAR between 15 and 17 March to enable different sectors in Hong Kong to understand more about the background ideas and principles of the Decision . They have gauged extensively the views of representatives from various sectors of the Hong Kong society
特區政府亦一直竭力向社會解釋完善選舉制度的必要性和迫切性，以及完善的選舉制度如何貫徹落實"愛國者治港"和提升特區管治效能，以及制度本身的種種優越性。
Besides the HKSAR Government all along spares no effort in explaining to the public about the advantages the necessity and urgency of improving the electoral system as well as how the improved electoral system fully implements patriots administering Hong Kong and enhances the effectiveness of governance
自今年3月，政制及內地事務局已投放超過1,600萬元作多方面宣傳，除印製超過10萬本詳細介紹完善選舉制度的小冊子外，政府亦特別設立有關完善選舉制度的專題網站，以簡單易明的文字及圖像解釋有關事宜。
Since March this year CMAB has allocated more than 16 million on various publicity activities . In addition to printing and distributing more than 100 000 copies of booklets outlining the improved electoral system in detail the Government has set up a dedicated website on improving the electoral system with user friendly texts and diagrams explaining the related matters
此外，各司局長亦透過其政策平台、網誌、傳媒訪問等，向公眾各界解說完善的選舉制度，而行政長官更親自主持香港電台的電視節目，與來自40個界別分組的嘉賓進行討論，藉此向公眾深度解說完善選舉制度。
Moreover Secretaries of Departments and Directors of Bureaux have explained the improved electoral system to various sectors in the community through their political platforms blogs and media interviews etc and the Chief Executive even personally hosted a TV programme of the Radio Television Hong Kong to discuss with guests from the 40 Election Committee EC subsectors with a view to providing the public with an in - depth explanation on improving the electoral system
