According to reports, the Chinese government department in charge of Hong Kong will likely be placed under the direct control of the ruling Communist Party leadership in Beijing, who will then take a more active role in the day-to-day running of the former British colony. This move is seen as a way to streamline the process of governing Hong Kong without having to justify actions with references to the city's mini-constitutions. It is also seen as a precursor to greater control over Hong Kong's relationship with Taiwan.
