The party was founded on 10 July 1992 by 56 Beijing loyalists with a long-history of following the Communist government in Beijing as the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (民主建港聯盟) under the guidance of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office as the reaction to the rise of the pro-democracy party United Democrats of Hong Kong after 1991 Legislative Council election. It has become the flagship pro-Beijing party since its creation and one of the three largest parties with the pro-business Liberal Party and pro-democracy Democratic Party. Since the return of Hong Kong to the Chinese sovereignty, it became the major force backing the SAR government. It suffered a major defeat in the 2003 District Council election, due to its full support to the unpopular Tung Chee-hwa's administration and the legislation of the Basic Law Article 23. Its founding Chairman, Jasper Tsang Yok-sing resigned after the election and later became the first partisan Legislative Council President in 2008. In 2004 Legislative Council election, it replaced the Democratic Party as the largest party in the legislature. Its changed to its current name when it absorbed the pro-business Hong Kong Progressive Alliance (HKPA) in 2005. Tam Yiu-chung succeeded Ma Lik who died of cancer in 2007. In the 2007 District Council election, the DAB received a major victory, becoming the largest party in the district level far ahead of other parties. The party received further successes in the 2011 District Council election and 2012 Legislative Council election. In 2015, Starry Lee Wai-king succeeded Tam Yiu-chung, becoming the first chairwoman in party history. ==Party beliefs== The party is known for a Beijing loyalist party of "loving China and loving Hong Kong". 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 the Democratic Party supports, DAB claims by doing so stability and prosperity will be achieved. It also self-claims itself as being "rational and pragmatic". The party's main claim is that it is natural for ethnic Chinese in Hong Kong to be "patriotic" and support the government of the People's Republic of China.〔Chan, Ming K. So, Alvin Y. White, Lynn T. Crisis and Transformation in China's Hong Kong. () (2002). M.E. Sharpe. ISBN 0-7656-1000-0.〕 The party supports nearly every policy of the HKSAR Government. * Furthering co-operation between Hong Kong and the mainland, promoting mutual trust, and creating opportunities economically. * "Constructive monitor" of the HKSAR government, scrutinising various government policies and decisions, providing "constructive policy alternatives" whilst securing the progress, prosperity, social stability and harmony for Hong Kong. * To break down social barriers based on the common interest of Hong Kong; to strengthen communications with Hong Kong residents to better reflect their opinion; to be more accountable to the public. * To nurture political talent by committing the necessary funding, organising training, providing opportunities for those who want to take part in politics. The DAB’s support of social welfare improvements, including greater spending on education, housing, and employee retraining, has given it strong grassroots support. The party in general embraces big tent position, but has gradually leaned to a more pro-middle-class position and professional-oriented since its merger with the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance (HKPA) in 2005. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
