separation of powers 三權分立

separation of powers (of the executive, the judiciary and the legislature)
繁：三權分立
简：三权分立

中聯辦主任張曉明昨日在一個《基本法》研討會表明，香港不會實行三權分立的政治制度，而是以行政長官為核心的行政主導體制，行政長官的地位是中央之下，行政、立法、司法三權之上，地位超然。

The dismissal of the separation of powers by liaison office chief Zhang Xiaoming yesterday contradicted what Hong Kong’s top judges have emphasised since the handover.

In his speech at the opening of the 2010 legal year, former chief justice Andrew Li Kwok-nang said: “The Hong Kong system involves checks and balances between the executive, the legislature and the judiciary.”
