Recently, there have been reports that some senior establishments have petitioned the Central Committee in June to request permission to remove individual accountable officials, including the Director of the Food and Health Bureau, Chen Zhaoshi, who was accused of ineffectively fighting the epidemic.

The Food and Health Bureau only said "no comment," but related reports after all make people reflect on the relationship between the establishment and the government.

The relationship between the two should be positive and enterprising. If the establishment did not actively advise the government to prevent the introduction of evil policies during the policy preparation process, but only knew how to "backbone" the central government after officials made mistakes, it would be tantamount to shirk their responsibilities. , Should be held accountable together.

Did Director Chen Zhaoshi or the government make any mistakes?

Of course there is.

The severe shortage of masks in the early stage of the epidemic and the third wave of the outbreak due to improper quarantine policies reflect that the government lacks the crisis management capabilities that rulers should have, and that restaurants that once aroused public outrage all day banning food, it also reveals that the authorities lack the general public Caring and compassion.

Hong Kong has an accountability system, and officials who make mistakes should be criticized and even held politically responsible for this.

But the public cannot help asking, is it only high-ranking officials who make mistakes?

In Hong Kong's political system, in addition to accountable officials and civil servants, the governance team actually includes the establishment. They are the backbone of Hong Kong's practice of "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" and "a high degree of autonomy."

The establishment has representatives such as Ye Guoqian, Zhang Yuren, Liao Changjiang, Ye Liu Shuyi, and Huang Guojian in the Executive Council. They have a majority of seats in the Legislative Council. Compared with another major political power, the establishment has a much greater influence on the government.

Use influence to urge the government

Since the influence is so great, the establishment should naturally use it well.

People with a little bit of common sense will certainly question why restaurants that are obviously unreasonable all-day bans on dinning can be introduced?

Did the establishment try their best to stop it?

Or is it just that after the policy has triggered a backlash in public opinion, the establishment will come out and criticize it, in order to win the reputation of "please for the people"?

The senior establishment in the report asked the central government to "speculate people." Obviously, all the responsibilities were assigned to officials, but they did not fully realize that the establishment itself also has an unshirkable responsibility and is entrusted by the public.

In 2006, Zeng Qinghong, the vice chairman of the country and leader of the Central Hong Kong and Macao Work Coordination Group, once asked the establishment to "strengthen the quality internally and build up the image externally."

Quality refers to ability and ability, while image refers to whether people think they are credible.

Enhancing quality and building an image were the requirements set by the central government for the establishment. It is indeed not easy to meet the requirements, but in order to practice good governance, it has to be met.

It is a pity that the establishment that people know about is really not so much, and it seems that they have little commitment in monitoring the government.

The relationship between the establishment and the government should go beyond the negative "backbone", which means that we should not only know that the central government should be replaced after an accident, but that the government should be urged to introduce a well-thought-out policy before the accident. Have the courage to speak up and force the authorities to correct.

If the establishment can get rid of negativity and strive to become a constructive political force, Hong Kong can hope to get rid of the predicament of repeated abuses.

The establishment cannot look superficially without knowing the bottom line
