“Zhang Xinyan... took part in what it called a parliamentary election and was sworn in as a member last year”
DISPUTED
The claim states Zhang was sworn in 'last year' (implying 2023), but the Wikipedia evidence for the 'Hong Kong Parliament' states the first election was in May 2025 and it was inaugurated in July 2025. This creates a chronological contradiction between the claim and the reference source.
