Last update date: 2020-08-04 16:45The Hong Kong Institute of Public Opinion conducted a survey of 514 and 510 citizens on the popularity and ratings of leaders on both sides of the Strait from 20 to 24 last month. Among them, President Xi Jinping’s nomination rate ranked first at 79%, but the ratings were among the top ten. The nominated leader ranked 8th with 40.7 points; Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen ranked 2nd with a 73% nomination rate and 57.6 points. Zhong Jianhua, deputy chief executive of Minyan Research Institute, believes that scoring is a projection of the desirability of different governance methods by citizens. What happened in Hong Kong in the past year, including the National Security Law, is generally believed to have something to do with Beijing's will. Dissatisfaction with the political environment will also affect the score.

Minyan today (4th) released the results of a cross-strait leader scoring survey. Among the top ten leaders, the mainland accounted for 6 and Taiwan accounted for 4. Former Premier of the State Council Zhu Rongji ranked first with 61.6 points, followed by Tsai Ing-wen with 57.6 points, and another former Premier of the State Council Wen Jiabao ranked third with 54.4 points. At the bottom of the list are Xi Jinping with 40.7 points and eighth, former Kaohsiung Mayor Han Yu with 24.6 points and 9th, and former Taiwan President Chen Shuibian with 23.1 points.
Among the six mainland leaders who entered the top ten, except for Xi Jinping and Premier Li Keqiang, the rest are politicians who have abdicated. Zhong Jianhua believes that the data reflects that citizens miss the passing years and are dissatisfied with the current central governance.

On the eve of the pro-democracy primaries, the police used a search warrant to search the headquarters of the Hong Kong Institute of Public Opinion and copied some computer files on the grounds of suspected hacking and leaking information. The team of volunteer lawyers for civil research has written to the police earlier, stating that the relevant information is protected by the principles of "legal professional confidentiality" and "confidentiality of news materials". The police are not allowed to read and use the information taken on that day until the issue is resolved. Zhong Tingyao, chairman of the National Research Institute, said that he has received a reply from the police, asking the research institute to further explain why the information involved is privileged. The research institute has also requested the police to retrieve a copy of the relevant information for follow-up and statement. Therefore, the information is still in the sealing stage.
When asked whether there will be another primary election next year, Chung Tingyao said that it is still unknown, but he pointed out that there is no evidence that the primary election caused the outbreak of the epidemic. He described the election as "peaceful, rational and healthy" and showed the world that Hong Kong people are worthy. Have democracy. Zhong Tingyao believes that the democrats will encounter many thorny issues in the future, including whether to join the provisional legislature, etc., and suggested that they can use the experience of the primary election to make decisions through peaceful voting.
