United front in Hong Kong

The united front is a strategy directed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Government of China to consolidate their control over Hong Kong. To accomplish this aim, a number of different strategies have been used since the 1980s.[1][2][3] Today the control is mostly done through manipulation of local elections.
