Last updated: 2020-02-25 19:12Under the outbreak of Wuhan pneumonia, the Hong Kong Government should deal with many complaints. A poll conducted by the Hong Kong People ’s Research Institute in mid-February showed that the public ’s net trust in Hong Kong ’s government was 62 percentage points, the lowest since the record in 1992. Instead, the net trust in Taiwan ’s government rose by 23 points to plus 10 percentage points, since 1996 new highs.
Zhong Lewei, assistant lecturer of the CUHK Academy of Social Sciences, said that when comparing Hong Kong with other countries and regions, the Hong Kong government obviously did not prioritize "Hong Kong people". On the contrary, Taiwan measures "everything comes first." We have confidence in the epidemic measures.

Zhong Lewei said that in terms of handling the epidemic, Macau ’s measures were decisive, which made the local area have a clear “protective cover”. The effect of closure.
He also mentioned that Macao has a government coordinator in the supply of masks. The chief executive, He Yicheng, "speaks a lot of people," and even some citizens have said on the Internet that he is governing Hong Kong.
Chief Executive's approval rate drops to single digits
The poll found that Chief Executive Lin Zhengyue's score also broke a new low, falling 2 points to negative 18.2 points from two weeks ago. His support rate dropped to 9 percentage points, which was the first time that the support rate of the chief executive appeared in the single digits. Lin Zheng's opposition rate is 83%, and the net support rate is negative 74%, all of which are the worst since Lin Zheng took office.
The public sentiment index set by Minyan Research since July 1992, with a limit of 0 to 200, is currently 38.5, a sharp drop of 13.4 points from February, which is a record low. In this poll, from February 17 to 19, a telephone survey was conducted among 1,008 Hong Kong citizens who were Cantonese aged 18 and over.
A new budget will be announced tomorrow. Many people are concerned about whether the government will send money, and how much. Zhong Tingyao pointed out that this poll was conducted from February 17 to 19, and the government has stated on February 14 that the anti-epidemic fund has increased to 25 billion yuan, but the poll results are not ideal, and the money is not handled properly. In addition, if there is more communication between the government and the people in the response to the epidemic, it will be helpful to resolve the mutual distrust between the government and the people.
Zhong Lewei said that sending money did benefit the public more directly, and that his voice of hope for money also reflected the lack of confidence in how the government spends money.
