How is the government of Hong Kong structured under the "one country, two systems" framework?

Under the "one country, two systems" framework, Hong Kong operates as a special administrative region of China. Its governance is outlined by the Basic Law, which grants it a high degree of political autonomy, excluding foreign policy and defense. Executive authority rests with a chief executive, appointed by China's central government after an election by a committee. Legislative power is vested in the Legislative Council (LegCo), whose members serve a four-year term. While the Basic Law originally stipulated eventual universal suffrage, its implementation has been a point of contention, with concerns that Beijing's influence may limit true democratic elections.1234
