How 'Election' is Held in China with Communist Chinese Characteristics
It is understood that the National People ’s Congress voted for the election of the President of the State, the Chairman of the Military Commission, and the Chairman of the National People ’s Congress.
Those who voted in favor did not need to write anything on the ballot paper and only had to directly put the ballot into the ballot box. Those against it however, had to walk over to the "secret ballot area", fill the box with a special pen after the candidate's name.
Therefore, it is obvious that the representative who went to the writing area of the voting area is casting a negative vote.

Chinese state TV broke Ofcom rules with biased Hong Kong coverage
//China’s state television channel repeatedly breached British broadcasting rules with biased coverage of pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong, according to a decision by the media regulator that could set up a diplomatic clash between the two countries.
//the channel – which has been dubbed a propaganda outfit – often focused on violence by protesters against police officers, while downplaying attacks by the authorities on the public.
//However, as part of its efforts to avoid sanctions – which could include a substantial fine – CGTN found itself arguing that the protests by millions of Hong Kong residents were not entirely without purpose.
//In an attempt to avoid breaches of British broadcasting rules it had hired Nick Pollard, a former Ofcom board member, as an adviser. However, he resigned last year in the middle of the Hong Kong protests. CGTN is still facing separate ongoing investigations by Ofcom into claims it broadcast forced on-air confessions by Chinese prisoners, as well as wider questions about its ownership.
//The channel said one of its Hong-Kong-based correspondents had tried to approach or contact more than 50 young protesters or opposition figures while reporting on the demonstrations over the past few months. However, it said “most of them have rejected such approaches as they are hostile to the media from mainland China and to Mandarin-speaking reporters”.
//Ofcom concluded that simply because pro-democracy protesters in Hong Kong were reluctant to appear on the channel, it did not mean CGTN should not seek to represent their views in order to meet the standards of due impartiality.

State-run CGTN faces sanctions from UK media regulator over coverage of Hong Kong protests
//Britain’s media regulator Tuesday found China’s English-language broadcaster CGTN in “serious failure of compliance” with UK impartiality laws during its coverage of last year’s Hong Kong protests.
//The most serious breaches are punished in Britain with fines and — in case of repeat or especially egregious violations — license suspensions.
//The five CGTN programmes cited by Ofcom were all aired during a seven month spell last year when Hong Kong was upended by huge and often violent pro-democracy protests.
//“Various news items on protests in Hong Kong were not duly impartial on a matter of major political controversy and a major matter relating to current public policy,” Ofcom said in a 61-page report.
//Ofcom said it has been in contact with CGTN about the programmes and now studying the channel’s defence of the case.
