China News Service, Hong Kong, Nov. 26. Title: Wearing a Badge Representing “One Country, Two Systems” Carrie Lam and the Fourth “Political Direction”
Zeng Ping, reporter for the China News Agency
At 11:00 am on November 25, Carrie Lam, Executive Director of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, dressed in cheongsam and costumes, national flags and emblems of the regional flags incorporating the “One Country, Two Systems” emblem appeared at time in the Legislative Council Chamber of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. All the legislators of the legislature of the establishment present waited for the executive director to enter the place.
This is the day that Carrie Lam delivered the fourth “Policy Speech” in her tenure. This “political address” is titled “Go ahead and start over” and is over 30,000 words long. Carrie Lam successfully read the “policy speech” in the quiet atmosphere of the boardroom in almost two and a half hours.
“Next year, the SAR government will redouble its efforts to strictly control the epidemic, revive the economy, reorganize social order, restore Hong Kong’s international reputation, and rebuild public trust in the government, so that Hong Kong begins again”. She read the “political speech”. By the end of his speech, his voice had obviously turned a little hoarse.
“The Executive Director has delivered the Policy Address to this Council, and I am now leaving the House and inviting the members to stand.” Following the instructions of the Chairman of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Liang Junyan, all the members of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region present stood up again.
Carrie Lam then donned a “copper core anti-epidemic mask” that can be washed multiple times, and was about to leave the conference room. As they passed through the corridor from the grandstand to the main entrance of the conference room, Legislative Council members Yi Zhiming and Wu Yongjia who were sitting near the corridor nodded towards the Chief Executive.
In stark contrast to the aforementioned solemn and rational atmosphere of the conference room, on October 16 last year, Carrie Lam delivered the third “Policy Speech” during her tenure.
At the time, when the executive director of the opposition legislature entered the conference room, they were still sitting in their seats chanting slogans or trying to run towards her to demonstrate, and some opposition legislators even used projection equipment to project the slogans on the floor. “review storm” on the rostrum. After the Executive Director started reading the “Policy Speech”, the chaos continued and Liang Junyan had to announce the suspension of the meeting within 5 minutes after the meeting started.
When the meeting continued some 20 minutes later, several opposition lawmakers tried to get back on the podium. Liang Junyan exercised the power of president to expel several members of the opposition from the conference room, but they refused to leave and the conference could not continue. In the end, Liang Junyan announced the postponement of the Legislative Council and the Chief Executive was only able to publish his “political speech” in video format.
As Carrie Lam said in this year’s political address: Hong Kong has experienced the most severe political challenges since the country’s return last year. One of the urgent things that must be done at present is to address the constitutional order and the political system of the RAE. Clear things up and correct things.
The “Law of the People’s Republic of China on Maintaining National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China” and the “Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress on the Qualifications of Members of the Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region “have laid a solid legal basis for this. The Legislative Council of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has reestablished a rational space and environment for discussion, and the relationship between the executive and the legislature in Hong Kong has reproduced a positive interaction.
Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor attended the “Television Policy Speech Forum” on the night of the 25th and said that there was no discomfort reading the report and that he felt very sorry. As head of the administrative body and the special zone, this is due treatment and respect. There are great strides and opportunities in the relationship between the executive and the legislature in Hong Kong. In the future, I would like to go more to the Legislative Council for questions and inquiries.
“Thank the CEO for attending (the CEO’s policy question and answer session), at least for the orderly and solemn exchange of views,” said Xie Weijun, the first member of the Legislative Council of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong in questioning the CEO at the November 26 question and answer session.
