China central authorities held 66 symposiums this March in Hong Kong inviting more than 1,000 representatives from political, commercial, financial, professional and labor sectors, as well as the HKSAR government and social organizations, to solicit opinions from Hong Kong society about implementing the NPC's decision on improving the electoral system of the HKSAR.
