The reporter has not found any public information related to "Guan Baohua".

Some people who have participated in the election team said that the expense agent is a core member and the candidates will not be authorized at random. "The district elections are limited and easy to use. Only the candidate and the expense agent have the right to sign the order, so unless the relationship Close, very trustful, otherwise you will authorize the other party to do it."

When asked if the funds were related to donations, Zheng said that he was discussing with the other party. "I am very close to the channel. If you have any questions, you may be able to donate money. After the election, you will decide to donate a letter."

Both Lin Biao and Wong Tai Sin Mo Ka Kit in Kwun Tong District have indicated that it is inconvenient to disclose whether the relevant funds are eligible for election donations. Lu Dong, Deng Junjun and Ye Xingguo of Kwun Tong District all denied accepting the "Creation of Power" donation.
