TheDemocratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) is apro-Beijing political party registered since 1992 inHong Kong. Chaired byGary Chan and holding 19Legislative Council seats, it is currently the largest party in the legislature and in terms of membership, far ahead of other parties. It has been a key supporting force to the SAR administration and thecentral government's policies on Hong Kong.
The party was established in 1992 as the "Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong" by a group of traditional Beijing loyalists who pledged allegiance to theChinese Communist Party. As thetransfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong was approaching, the party actively participated in elections in the last years of thecolonial rule and became a major party and the ally to the government in the early post-handover era.
The DAB took a major blow in the2003 District Council election due to the unpopularTung Chee-hwa administration and the proposed legislation of theArticle 23 of theBasic Law. However, the party still managed to recover its loss in the following decades, further expanded its electoral base and membership and absorbed the pro-businessHong Kong Progressive Alliance in 2005, becoming the a dominant force in Hong Kong politics.
The party received electoral successes in the2007 and2011 District Council elections, winning 136 local elected offices at its peak, and won 13 seats in the2012 Legislative Council election thanks to its effective electoral strategy. In the2019 District Council elections, however, the party received a significant loss of four-fifth of its seats the midst of thewidespread anti-government protests.
The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong was founded as part of a wave of political party formations as Hong Kong approached itshandover to China and amid electoral reform initiated by GovernorChris Patten. The1991 Legislative Council election, which saw the defeat of all pro-Beijing candidates, was a catalyst to the forming of the DAB.[5]: 100 In January 1992, director of theHong Kong and Macau Affairs OfficeLu Ping publicly encouraged the organisation of pro-Beijing political parties for the 1995 elections.[6]: 10.8 Politicians from theHong Kong Federation of Trade Unions (FTU) and other pro-Beijing organisations including theHong Kong Federation of Education Workers (FEW) formed the DAB on 10 July 1992, withTsang Yok-sing as the party's first chairperson.[2]: 161 The DAB was the first major pro-Beijing party as a part of the "United Front" on the eve of thehandover of Hong Kong.[citation needed]
Compared with other pro-Beijing parties in Hong Kong, the DAB was more grassroots-oriented.[5]: 100 The 56 founding members of the DAB held political views that were sympathetic towards China and emphasised friendly Sino-Hong Kong relations.[5]: 100 At the time of founding, many of them held political positions associated with the Chinese government or pro-Beijing groups in Hong Kong. Chairman Tsang Yok-sing was a delegate to Guangdong Province People's Political Consultative Conference, vice-chairmanTam Yiu-chung andChan Yuen-han were executive members of the pro-Beijing trade union FTU, and secretaryCheng Kai-nam was appointed by the Chinese government as theHong Kong Affairs Advisor.[5]: 101 Political scientist Sonny Lo Shiu-hing notes that early DAB members are also "pro-Hong Kong" in the sense that they advocate for the interests of Hong Kong and lobby Chinese officials.[5]: 100
The DAB became the direct rival to the majorpro-democracy partyUnited Democrats of Hong Kong and its successorDemocratic Party, which was formed in 1994. The DAB first fielded a candidate in the 1993Regional Council by-election and lost.[5]: 98 In the following year, the DAB participated in the1994 District Board elections, where 37 of its 83 candidates were elected.[5]: 98 In 1995, it participated in themunicipal elections, winning eight directly elected and two indirectly elected seats.[7] Major leaders of the DAB participated in the1995 Legislative Council election. It was regarded[by whom?] as test cases of the popularity of the new party.[8] Three of the four party leaders were defeated by pro-democracy candidates in the election,[9] including party chairman Tsang Yok-sing who lost toLiu Sing-lee of theAssociation for Democracy and People's Livelihood (ADPL) in theKowloon Central constituency.
The DAB took part in the preparation for establishing the Special Administrative Region on the eve of thehandover of Hong Kong. In January 1996, Tsang Yok-sing, Tam Yiu-chung, Ng Hong-mun and Lee Cho-jat were appointed to thePreparatory Committee. It had 46 members elected to the Beijing-controlledSelection Committee in November 1996. In the following month, the Selection Committee elected 10 DAB members to theProvisional Legislative Council (PLC).[10] The DAB and theHong Kong Progressive Alliance (HKPA), another pro-Beijing party, allied with each other in the crucial Provisional Legislative Council debate on the substantial arrangements for the1998 LegCo elections. This move was tacitly endorsed by theHeung Yee Kuk, and heralded as the unofficial merger of the parties.[11] The Provisional Legislative Council, which was controlled by the pro-Beijing camp, vetoed thedemocratic reform introduced by the last British governorChris Patten and replaced thefirst-past-the-post with theproportional representation method in the Legislative Council elections, so that the weaker DAB would be able to exploit the benefit of the proportional representation by taking a seat in everygeographical constituency without having a majority of the votes. After the SAR was established, Tam Yiu-chung and was also appointed to theExecutive Council byChief ExecutiveTung Chee-hwa as the representative of the party.
The DAB's electoral campaigns have been largely assisted by Beijing and its united front organs. TheLiaison Office would mobilise various social groups and organisations to campaign for and to vote for the party, including employees of PRC state-owned companies and grassroots organisations such as theNew Territories Association of Societies (NTAS) and the Kowloon Federation of Associations (KFA). The DAB's sister organisation FTU also mobilised its workers to campaign for the DAB members. The FTU also sent a recommendation letter to its four hundred thousand members to seek support for DAB candidates.[12]
In the 1998 LegCo election, the DAB took five directly elected seats with a quarter of the popular vote, compared to only two seats with 15% of the votes in the 1995 elections.[13] According to Karl Ho, the change from a candidate-based system to an electoral list proportional representation system benefitted the DAB.[14]
In December 1998, the party's 5th Central Committee decided to increase a Vice-Chairmanship,Ip Kwok-him and Cheng Kai-nam were subsequently elected as vice-chairmen.[15] In thefirst District Council elections in November 1999, the party filled in 176 candidates, 83 of which were elected, more than double compared to the 1994 elections.[16]
In thesecond SAR LegCo elections in September 2000, despite the conflict of interests scandal of Cheng Kai-nam, the DAB became a clear winner, capturing 11 seats in total, 7 in geographical constituency direct elections, 3 infunctional constituencies and 1Election Committee constituency. Although Cheng Kai-nam was elected, he soon resigned his party posts and LegCo seat under public pressure. After DAB candidateChristopher Chung Shu-kun losing to pro-democracy IndependentAudrey Eu in the10 December Hong Kong Island by-election, the DAB commanded 10 LegCo seats by the end of 2000.
In July 2002 the beginning of thesecond term of Tung Chee-hwa's administration, Chairman Tsang Yok-sing was appointed to the Executive Council under thePrincipal Officials Accountability System (POAS), succeeding Tam Yiu-chung. However the governing coalition between Tung Chee-hwa the DAB and the pro-businessLiberal Party suffered from growing disunity as the popularity of Tung administration dropped. Although it continued provide stable support to the government as Beijing's demand, it paid a hefty political price in the sense of increasing middle-class disaffection with the party and growing rank-and file complaint. The DAB was increasingly frustrated by unequal political exchange with the government and the skimpy political rewards meted out by Tung. Tsang Yok-sing even openly aired his displeasure and advocated power sharing with the government.[17]
In the wake of the controversies over thelegislation ofArticle 23 of theBasic Law, which outlaws treason, sedition, subversion and secession against the central government, the image of DAB was severely undermined by its unconditional support and defence of the legislation. TheNovember 2003 District Councils elections saw the worst electoral performance in party's history, only 62 of the 206 candidates were elected. The party vice-chairman and LegCo member Ip Kwok-him was defeated in his own power base and long-time headquarterKwun Lung by the pro-democracyThe Frontier member and LegCo memberCyd Ho Sau-lan by a narrow margin of 64 votes.[18] The election results led to the resignation of chairman Tsang Yok-sing.[19] Tsang claimed that the electoral setback was due to the DAB's "Tung loyalist" public image. In December the party's Standing Committee electedMa Lik as Tsang's successor.[20]
The2004 LegCo electoral campaign unfolded amid an economic rebound partly engineered by Beijing's up-lifting measures. The PRC athletes' impressive gains in theAugust 2004 Athens Olympics and the 50 Chinese Gold Medalists' visit to Hong Kong right before the polling induced among the voters a strong nationalistic pride that was beneficial to DAB candidates.[21] The DAB also managed to exploit the proportional representation to equalise votes for two of the candidates the party endorsed standing in the same constituency. Although support ofChan Yuen-han (FTU) was far higher thanChan Kam-lam (DAB) inKowloon East, according to earlier polls, the two organisations managed to have both elected. AtHong Kong Island constituency, the ticket of Ma Lik andChoy So-yuk ultimately benefitted from a democratic camp mix-up that led to the resignation of theDemocratic Party Chairman,Yeung Sum. The DAB become the largest political party in the Legislative Council to be represented with 12 seats (if including the two members ran under the FTU banner), with the pro-business Liberal Party coming second with 10 seats and the Democratic Party coming third with 9 seats.
On 16 February 2005, the DAB merged with the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance, and was renamed as the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong.[22] The two parties were merged with new committees and leadership in May, Ma Lik was re-elected as chairman and Ip Kwok-him, Tam Yiu-chung,Maria Tam andLau Kong-wah as vice-chairmen. Since the merge with the Progressive Alliance, the DAB has gradually leaned to a more pro-middle-class position. In April 2007 leadership election, solicitorGregory So succeeded Maria Tam as the vice-chairman of the party. The four new Standing Committee members were all professionals; besides Gregory So,Cheung Kwok-kwan, the Chairman of the Young DAB was a solicitor,Starry Lee Wai-king was an accountant,Ben Chan Han-pan was an engineer.[citation needed] Meanwhile, the pro-labour and pro-grassroots FTU faction began to run in elections in their own banner. On 8 August 2007, Chairman Ma Lik died of cancer inGuangzhou. Tam Yiu-chung was elected as the new chairman by the Standing Committee on 28 August.[23]
TheDistrict Council Elections in 2007 saw the great bounce back of the DAB by winning 115 seats, more than a quarter of the seats in the district level, far ahead of other political parties. Gregory So resigned as the vice-chairman and was succeeded byAnn Chiang when he was appointed as theUnder Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development by Chief ExecutiveDonald Tsang in May 2008,[24] among other DAB members appointed to the government. Gregory So was later revealed by the media as havingCanadian citizenship, which he had to renounce as a result.[25] The scandal became an electoral issue in the following2008 LegCo Election that the pan-democracy camp used to attack the DAB candidates. Nevertheless, the DAB remained as the largest party in the Legislative Council in the election, winning 13 seats in total (if including the FTU candidates who had DAB membership). Chan Yuen-han andWong Kwok-hing were founding members of the DAB and used to run for the DAB, they began to run under the FTU banner with more pro-labour position. In October, Tsang Yok-sing, the founding Chairman of the DAB, was elected as thePresident of the Legislative Council, becoming the first LegCo President with party membership. His seat at the Executive Council was succeeded by vice-chairman Lau Kong-wah.
In the2011 District Council Elections, the DAB recorded a greatest victory in party's history, accumulating 136 seats, about one-third of the total, more than all pro-democratic parties combined.
The DAB supportedLeung Chun-ying in the2012 Chief Executive election. In theLegislative Council elections in September, with the party's first use of the electoral tactics of splitting candidate lists, the DAB won three seats in theNew Territories West for the first time and two seatsHong Kong Island since 2004. It continued as the largest political force supporting the SAR administration today.
The DAB stood firmly with the government in theconstitutional reform debate in 2014–15, and subsequently themassive Occupy protests against the2014 NPCSC decision. On 17 April 2015,Starry Lee Wai-king became the first woman to chair the party, succeeding the outgoing Tam Yiu-chung.[26] In the2015 District Council election, the first election under Starry Lee's chairmanship, the DAB retained its largest party status by winning 119 seats (including two who also ran under FTU banner), although incumbent legislatorsChristopher Chung andElizabeth Quat were ousted by newcomers.
After the 2014 Occupy protests, there was an emergingpro-independence movement in which the DAB strongly opposed. In the2016 New Territories East by-election, DAB memberHolden Chow ran against theCivic Party'sAlvin Yeung and pro-independenceHong Kong Indigenous'Edward Leung. Chow received about 35 per cent and about 10,000 votes short of the Civic Party candidate.
With four veteran incumbents,LegCo presidentTsang Yok-sing,Tam Yiu-chung,Chan Kam-lam andIp Kwok-him, retiring, the DAB set a more conservative electoral strategy in the2016 Legislative Council election, fielding only nine candidate lists in the geographical constituencies and District Council (Second) functional constituency, two fewer than the last election. The DAB got all their nine candidate lists elected as a result with three traditional functional constituencies with a drop of their vote share from 20.22 to 16.68 per cent vote share. Chan Hak-kan succeeded Ip as the new caucus convenor.
In the2017 Chief Executive election, the DAB which commanded over 100 seats in theElection Committee, endorsed and nominated formerChief Secretary for AdministrationCarrie Lam, which help her to defeat formerFinancial SecretaryJohn Tsang with 777 votes.[27][28][29] In return, the Carrie Lam administration appointed Cheung Kwok-kwan to be a new member in the Executive Council.
In theMarch 2018 Legislative Council by-election triggered by the disqualification ofYoungspiration'sYau Wai-ching over theoath-taking controversy, the DAB supported its memberVincent Cheng and the former FTU legislatorTang Ka-piu who joined the DAB before the election to run inKowloon West and New Territories East respectively. Despite Tang's loss, Cheng made a surprising upset by narrowly defeating independent democratYiu Chung-yim, making it the first time the pro-Beijing camp received greater vote share than the pro-democrats in a geographical constituency since 2000 and the first time a pro-Beijing candidate won in a geographical constituency by-election since 1992.
In October 2020, Apple Daily reported that Carrie Lam had blamed the DAB for failing to raise political support for her administration, saying the DAB had failed for years in providing the government with "talent."[30] Lam was also reported to be unhappy with two government ministers from the DAB, and fired one but kept the other to avoid embarrassing the DAB.[30]
In November 2020, following the expulsion of 4 pro-democracy lawmakers from the Legislative Council, the DAB expressed support for the decision and accused the pro-democracy lawmakers of harming the country's interest.[31]
In February 2021, following calls fromXia Baolong that only "patriots" should be part of the government, the DAB supported his position and said that it should be done, as it claimed pro-democracy figures had done things "[I]ncluding advocating Hong Kong independence to poison young people, supporting black violence to damage the rule of law, colluding with foreign forces to interfere in Hong Kong's affairs and even attempting to steal the power to govern by running in an election to paralyse the government."[32]
In August 2022, afterNancy Pelosi visited Taiwan, the DAB said it fully supported the mainland Chinese government and military in response to the visit.[33]
The DAB is known as a Beijing loyalist party of "loving China and loving Hong Kong".[34][failed verification] It stresses the "one country" part of the "One country, two systems" principle. As for issues on democratic reform, it takes a position to support slower pace in relative to what theDemocratic Party supports, DAB claims by doing so stability and prosperity will be achieved. Former party chairmanTam Yiu-chung claims the DAB to be "rational and pragmatic".[35]
The party's main claim is that it is natural for ethnic Chinese in Hong Kong to be "patriotic" and support thegovernment of the People's Republic of China.[36] The party supports nearly every policy of the HKSAR Government.
The DAB's support ofsocial welfare improvements, including greater spending on education, housing, and employee retraining, has given it strong grassroots support.[37]
The DAB was historically aleft-wing party,[38] but it is currently considered abig tent,[39]centre-right[40][41] orright-wing[42] party. It had leaned to a more pro-middle-class position and professional-oriented since its merger with theHong Kong Progressive Alliance (HKPA) in 2005.[citation needed]
The party also takes asocial conservative stance, espousing 'traditional family values' and opposing same-sex marriage despite it not being in the party's official platform.[3] The DAB collaborated with evangelicalChristian organisations in 2006 in drafting a submission on "harmonious families".[43] These organisations include the Hong Kong branches of theFull Gospel Business Men's Fellowship International and theChristian Broadcasting Network.[43]
As the largest political party of Hong Kong, the party can be divided into several main factions:[citation needed]
On 15 May 2007, then-party chairmanMa Lik provoked widespread condemnation within the local community when he claimed that"there was not a massacre" during theTiananmen Square protests of 1989, as there was "no intentional and indiscriminate shooting". He said the popular belief of foreigners' "rash claims" that a massacre took place showed Hong Kong's lack of maturity. He said that Hong Kong showed, through this lack of patriotism and national identity, that it would thus "not be ready for democracy until 2022".[44]
Vice-chairmanTam Yiu-chung defended Ma, but questioned the timing: "people will understand it gradually".[44] However, Vice-chairmanLau Kong-wah immediately offered to apologise, and distanced the party from Ma, saying that Ma had expressed "a personal opinion".[45] The DAB Central committee declined any further action against Ma following their meeting, and there was no official apology.
The DAB has been accused by pro-democracy media and politicians of providing benefits to certain people, including seafood meals and local trips tooutlying islands at prices significantly lower than market rates to win their support. Other allegations include arranging free transport to mobilise people for their causes.
During the2015 District Council elections, theSouth China Morning Post reported that elderly residents of care homes were being bussed to polling stations by DAB-arranged transport. A DAB candidate, Daniel Lam Tak-shing, was alleged to have instructed them on who to vote for outside of a polling station, raising questions on whether those votes were cast of their own will. He was also accused of giving outfree gifts to these residents.[46] However, none of these practices are strictly illegal in Hong Kong.
The youth wing is the Young Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (Young DAB). In August 2022, it released results of a survey, showing that 30% of those polled in Hong Kong did not identify as being Chinese. The Young DAB said that the government should enhance national identity, and vice-chairman Nicholas Muk Ka-chun said that "If you've looked at the Education Bureau's website [...] you would have noticed that the word 'patriot' does not exist".[47]
