The "Hong Kong National Security Law" has been implemented in Hong Kong for three months, and the political situation in Hong Kong has undergone earth-shaking changes.
Entering October, different levels, industries or sectors have also been involved in the political storm. Civil servants have taken the oath to be formally implemented, elementary school teachers have been "pinned" by the unprecedented "Hong Kong independence" turmoil, and disputes in the judicial system have continued. The association was also accused of "cooperating" and performing "major surgery" on the electoral system.
Some public opinion describes Hong Kong as entering an "eventful autumn," and the pattern of all-round "rectification" has come like a whirlwind.
A teacher from the Kowloon Tong Missionary Primary School was accused of spreading Hong Kong independence messages in teaching materials and was disqualified as a teacher by the Education Bureau.

Education and justice were even attacked
As early as the end of last month, after the Liaison Office of the Central Committee met with the establishment members, there was a rumor that the "three mountains" would need to be rectified in the next year, including the judiciary, education, and social welfare sectors. According to reports, the establishment has been requested to increase its combat effectiveness.
Earlier this month, "education", a hill entrenched by democrats, was the first to be shaken.
The Education Bureau stated that after in-depth investigation and disciplinary procedures, a teacher’s registration was cancelled in late September this year. The authorities believed that the teacher had "serious professional failure, and the school-based lesson plans, teaching materials and worksheets he designed were systematic In response to spreading the "Hong Kong independence" message, Chief Executive Carrie Lam even threatened that the government used the "Education Ordinance" to disqualify professional teachers who were unscrupulous teachers for the first time, reflecting the determination of the current government and saying that the previous government was more "refuge" in doing things, but The current government will face difficulties and respond to demands.
On the other side, disputes in the judicial system are constantly brewing, and the "hill fire" is slowly escalating. At that time, the Magistrate of the Eastern Magistrates' Court, He Junyao, once criticized the police officers for being unreliable and provoked institutional snipers.
The Judiciary responded the day before (8th) that there were 8 complaints against He Guan, except for two cases because the Attorney General is submitting an application for sentence review in court, which will not be followed up until the judicial process is completed. The other 6 cases have been approved by Chief Magistrate Su Hui Tak After understanding and reading the reasons for the ruling or sentencing, I believe that all the complaints are unfounded.
The investigation results of the judiciary made the establishment even more dissatisfied, and the political circles estimated that the judiciary's sniping trend would only intensify.
Camp broadcasters have also become targets of government and organizational attacks. Among them, Li Junya, the assistant program director of "Viewpoint 31" who has publicly asked Lam Cheng to "speak with people", was extended the probation period for 120 days at the end of last month and restarted complaints against her. More than two decades after the reunification, although Hong Kong and Taiwan were criticized by the then Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa for the "yin and yang" and "low-level tastes", they often made a safe transition. However, this situation is no longer the case. Goodbye to the "Headline News" in September and the current Lijunya incident show that Hong Kong and Taiwan have become the eye of the political storm.
As for the medical care sector, the Hospital Authority sent a letter to the public hospital medical nurses who went on strike in February, requesting an explanation of the reason for not working.
As of today (12th), a number of heavy news was suddenly announced; Chief Executive Carrie Lam suddenly announced in the morning to postpone the announcement of the policy address originally scheduled for Wednesday (14th). The move is very rare. Some analysts believe that Carrie Lam is waiting for the central government. A series of measures to support Hong Kong were introduced, and then the "policy address" was "rewritten" according to the central government's measures to make the report "more connotative."
Chief Justice Ma Daoli of the Court of Final Appeal issued a statement on the 23rd of last month in response to recent comments, opinions and criticisms on multiple judicial decisions of the court and judges, emphasizing that when commenting on relevant work, the principles of the Basic Law must be kept in mind. For example, only when exercising judicial power Take the law as the basis, no other consideration.

Changes in election arrangements may affect the political landscape of Hong Kong
At the same time, the Legislative Council election system will also face major operations.
The Electoral Affairs Commission announced today (12th) the 2020 Legislative Council General Election Report, which mentions overseas voting recommendations. The EAC stated that it understands the issue of the epidemic’s exercise of voting rights for voters living abroad, but overseas voting involves major election policy considerations The government should conduct research on the policy level and related legal operations, and recommend the implementation of electronic ballot distribution, electronic voter register and "care team" measures in next year's elections. It is also recommended that the government seriously consider whether to control "primary elections" activities.
Coincidentally, civil servants who have been brewing for many months have taken the oath today. The Civil Service Bureau issued a notice today stating that all civil servants and directorate civil servants who entered the post on or after July 1 this year must take the oath.
From the above incidents, it can be seen that not only the "three mountains" have been rectified, the central government and the Hong Kong government are determined to rectify the level wider and wider than the "three mountains."
And as many political events continue to ferment, coupled with the unpredictable geopolitics and Sino-U.S. wrestling situation, Hong Kong's political situation has entered an "eventful autumn," and "earthquakes" have come one after another.
The Legislative Council election system will also undergo major changes. The Electoral Affairs Commission announced today (12th) the report on the 2020 Legislative Council General Election, which mentions overseas voting recommendations. The EAC refers to those who understand the epidemic to exercise their right to vote on voters living abroad. However, overseas voting involves major election policy considerations, and the government should conduct research on the policy level and related legal operations.

There is a saying in the political circle that after the anti-regulation storm that swept across the city last year, Hong Kong’s political landscape has become different. Beijing and the Hong Kong government will use unprecedented means to "purge" all links in the education and judicial circles. , The medical care sector, civil servants, Radio Television Hong Kong, regional direct elections (including the Legislative Council), etc., have to "recover lost land" one by one.
With this approach, will there be any shocks in the social welfare sector soon?
