The Alliance for Social and Economic Advancement (Chinese: 保障民生建設聯盟) is a political party in Hong Kong. The party was founded on 10 September 2019 and is led by Herman Yuen. The party describes itself as part of a "construction camp", preferring to focus on citizen livelihood and public policy rather than politics.[1] The party fielded three candidates in the 2019 Hong Kong local elections. In response to criticism regarding the party only fielding candidates in constituencies held by pro-Beijing district councillors, Yuen said the choice of constituencies was made based on familiarity with each area and a dissatisfaction with livelihood work there.[2] Although the party is part of the pro-Beijing camp, it believes that the government's response to the 2019–20 Hong Kong protests has been ineffective and that the government should better listen to its people.[1]
