China's top newspaper, the People's Daily, last Friday issued an appeal to all of Hong Kong's lawmakers to support a Beijing-proposed election blueprint, saying it was the only way to achieve democracy, after the territory's democrats said they would veto it.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng index fell more than 1% on Tuesday to its lowest close in two months, as investor risk appetite was curbed by political uncertainty and concerns over the impact of a possible US interest rate rise later this year.
Analysts also attributed the market's weakness to a possible inclusion of mainland shares into MSCI's global indexes, a decision that could prod global investors to increase China exposure, but reduce Hong Kong's stock weightings.
The Hang Seng index fell 1.2%, to 26,989.52, the lowest close since April 9. The China Enterprises Index lost 1.8%, to 13,861.96 points.
"The problem with this market is that there's no fresh money flowing in," said Chen Zhizhong, strategist at China Merchants Securities.
"The MSCI move could affect Hong Kong stocks negatively; foreign interest in Hong Kong stocks is subdued by an expected Fed rate hike later this year; and mainland investors are looking on the sidelines amid political uncertainty."
A plan for 2017 leaders to be elected by universal suffrage is scheduled to be voted on by legislators in Hong Kong in mid-June.

Most sectors in Hong Kong fell on Tuesday, led by service stocks, which slumped amid deepening concerns over the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS).
