Huang Weiguo's analysis pointed out that there were no scenes of protest on the street, and the society and daily life surface returned to normal. For non-democratic supporters, the social situation is acceptable. He also believes that the current political and social environment is very important for some people who pursue extremely stable social conditions. For those who do not accept opposition, it is a quite comfortable environment. In addition, the government is fighting in mainstream media and publicizing the "National Security Law" on the "big platform" every day, urging young people to develop in the Greater Bay Area. This factor has allowed Lam Cheng's score to rise.
