US President Donald Trump announced on Friday (2nd) that he and his wife had been diagnosed with new coronary pneumonia, and he was discharged from the hospital and returned to the White House 4 days later.

The outside world is concerned about whether Trump's illness will help his backward election.

Leung Kai-chih, guest lecturer at the School of Journalism and Communication of CUHK, attended a radio program today (6th) and inferred that Trump would definitely use the illness as a political operation to change his backward election situation. However, according to the latest round of polls, the election Love has no special influence.

Leung Kai-chih believes that some people will give sympathy votes, and some will be dissatisfied that he has not taken preventive measures on weekdays. Therefore, there is no turning point in the election between the two.

Xu Zhen, research director of the Hong Kong Zhiming Research Institute, said on the same Hong Kong and Taiwan program "Viewpoint 31" that Trump's various measures after the epidemic, including going around the military hospital, all used the opportunity to highlight his strong image , And focusing the media on yourself in a short period of time has always been a magic weapon for winning.

He believes that the image of a strongman can consolidate Trump's most loyal supporters, including middle-aged and elderly voters in the south central and western regions, but he has reservations about the few sympathy votes that can open up swing states.

Hong Kong is generally concerned about whether the US will relax its China policy once Trump falls.

Leung Kai-chih pointed out that even though Trump did not speak up when the wave of demonstrations in Hong Kong last year was the fiercest, instead, he kept mentioning China and Hong Kong matters until now that the election was behind. Therefore, it is not purely hypothetical that Trump is particularly dedicated to these aspects.

In addition, most of the US policy towards Hong Kong is proposed by Congress, and both the Democratic and Republican parties have done something. Therefore, it is believed that the US political circles have a consensus.

He also said that the Democratic Party represented by Biden, forging a Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement during Obama's term is also an attempt to contain China.

Xu Zhen also agreed that last year it was mainly the European Union and the United Kingdom who spoke for Hong Kong, and the United States did not "pump water" on the Hong Kong issue until the breakdown of trade negotiations with China this year.
