The central leadership described it as showing courage and responsibility during the extraordinary period. The central government fully affirmed and firmly supported the administration of the Lin Zhenghe Special Economic Zone Government. The comment was regarded as Beijing's "judgment" for Lin Zheng to stay, and the Hong Kong government will not change coaches at least in the short term.
Some senior traditional institutionalists said that the Beijing study judged the situation in Hong Kong as "the whole chessboard." Since Lin Zheng's stay was finalized, other strategies for Hong Kong must be finalized, including how to prevent similar political storms from returning, and Maintaining effective governance in Hong Kong in the long run. The source believes that, based on three considerations, Beijing Zhiming Lin Zheng completed legislation on Article 23 of the Basic Law for the rest of his term.
The three major considerations are:
(1) Beijing research judged that the reasons for this anti-revision case were uncontrollable. In addition to the internal factors such as the Hong Kong government's response to the lack of solutions and the deep-seated contradictions among Hong Kong people, there are also external forces behind the fire. In terms of factors, it has even elevated the incident to the height of national security for examination. Therefore, if the disaster is to be prevented from repeating itself, Beijing must start from the direction of plugging the loopholes in the national security. 23 pieces of legislation have become "the most urgent task."
(2) The situation in Hong Kong has been rotten, and the roots of violent demonstrations have been planted. Even with the large-scale street fires and scenes of the past few months, wildcat-style or sporadic conflicts will continue to occur, and Hong Kong is no longer able to In the short-term return to the old situation, Beijing will think that since it is not chaotic to push 23 articles, why not end the dispute that has troubled Beijing and Hong Kong for more than a decade?
(3) Lin Zhengminwang has fallen to the bottom. With the current situation and no worries about being re-elected, he will instead promote the best candidates for 23 launches. "If the next chief executive is doing well, he will be willing to" donate his life for the country ". Article 23? If Lin Zheng "exhibits his courage and courage" to complete 23 pieces of legislation before leaving office, on the contrary, in Beijing's eyes, he will be guilty of guilt.
The senior traditional institutionalist said that it is now only ten months before the Legislative Council re-election, and the general Legislative Council will adjourn in mid-July. It is too late for 23 pieces of legislation, so it is expected that the Legislative Council election will be at the end of this year. After the dust settled, "Bright Sword".

When the political situation in Hong Kong was smooth, Lin Zhengshang did not dare to push hard on 23 articles. Now, with a storm of anti-revisions, the Hong Kong government is sinking into a weak and passive quagmire, and instead dares to move against the public opinion? The constitutionalist said that the political storm was too shocking. The collapse of the constitutionalist election in the district council made Beijing's unprecedented fears of Hong Kong's governance. It ’s a minor repair and a minor repair, but an earth-shaking one. Beijing feels that the situation has deteriorated to this point anyway. What is there to dare not talk about? ”
The person added that the 23 pieces of legislation are just one of the current moves under consideration in Beijing. The "double universal election" dispute, the chief executive appointment and removal mechanism, and ensuring the loyalty of civil servants are also on the agenda. "After the occupation in 2014, Beijing will still Talking about lower-level work such as youth work and national education, this time it is different. No one talks about youth work anymore. Instead, they are swarming into the constitutional upper structure. The right to serve is all in Beijing. "
The Fourth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China closed last month. Hong Kong was mentioned in various parts of the communiqué of the Fourth Plenary Session. Among them, it was proposed to improve the system and mechanism for the appointment and removal of the chief executive and principal officials of the Special Administrative Region, establish a sound legal system to maintain national security, and Enforcement mechanisms, etc. (Xinhua News Agency)
Last month, the Fourth Plenary Session of the Nineteenth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China stated in the communiqué that it was necessary to uphold and improve the "one country, two systems" system and to establish and improve the "legal system and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security."
Later, Zhang Xiaoming, director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, issued a "interpretation", stating that Hong Kong had not completed Article 23 of the Basic Law and had not set up a corresponding enforcement agency. This was one of the main reasons for the increasing activities of local radical separation forces such as "Hong Kong independence." He also emphasized that the establishment and improvement of the legal system and enforcement mechanism to maintain national security "has become a prominent issue and an urgent task before the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government and people from all walks of life."
When Zheng Zheng saw the media ’s summary of her work schedule recently, she was asked whether the central government had put pressure on 23 pieces of legislation. She responded that maintaining the national sovereign security and development interests is the constitutional responsibility of the SAR government, but it caused a lot of controversy in the past. The government must "keep the situation in check" and implement it under good circumstances and conditions.
