決定通過時，人民大會堂會場內響起經久不息的熱烈掌聲。

The decision is another major step taken by the state to improve the HKSAR's legal and political systems since the Law on Safeguarding National Security in the HKSAR was adopted in June 2020.
這是繼制定實施《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區(qū)維護國家安全法》后，國家完善香港特別行政區(qū)法律和政治體制的又一重大舉措。

While deliberating a draft of the decision, the NPC session was of the view that the return of Hong Kong to the motherland put the region once again under the overall governance system of the country, and China's Constitution and the Basic Law of the HKSAR jointly form the constitutional basis of the HKSAR.
決定指出，十三屆全國人大四次會議審議了全國人民代表大會常務委員會關于提請審議《全國人民代表大會關于完善香港特別行政區(qū)選舉制度的決定（草案）》的議案。會議認為，香港回歸祖國后，重新納入國家治理體系，《中華人民共和國憲法》和《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區(qū)基本法》共同構成香港特別行政區(qū)的憲制基礎。

The electoral system of the HKSAR, which includes the methods for the selection of the Chief Executive and for the formation of the Legislative Council (LegCo), is an important part of the political structure of the HKSAR, according to the session. The electoral system should conform to the policy of "one country, two systems," meet the realities in the HKSAR and serve to ensure that Hong Kong is administered by people who love the country and love Hong Kong, according to the session. The electoral system should be conducive to safeguarding China's national sovereignty, security, and development interests and help maintain the long-term prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, according to the session.
