The Liaison Office is facing a big shift!

According to various sources, there has been a "tsunami-like" large-scale staff rotation in the Liaison Office. It is even rumored that half of the 480 staffing positions of the current full office will have personnel changes. The scale of this office has historically been rare.

News: It’s not "speculation", looking to deal with Hong Kong issues in a whole new way

In recent months, news of personnel changes in the Liaison Office of the Central Committee have been reported successively in the political circle, including that Li Haitang, the former minister of the Ministry of Publicity, Culture and Sports, has resigned and has been assigned another appointment. In November last year, the deputy minister of the Political and Legal Committee "airborne" Zheng Lin, will " Sit upright."

It is reported that the current staffing establishment of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee is about 480, but the "shift shift" of the secondary staff involves half of the establishment, that is, about 240 posts, which is a rare scale.

People familiar with the matter said that this is a shift of staff, not "speculation", but hope that "new personnel, new style" will be used to deal with Hong Kong issues in a brand new way.

The person pointed out that many of the candidates who succeeded were not involved in Hong Kong and could analyze Hong Kong issues "more objectively" and "more scientifically."

The new faces who took over are also relatively young. They come from "from all corners of the world." Their purpose is to explore and resolve Hong Kong's various intricate political, economic and livelihood issues from a new perspective and method.

The head of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the People’s Republic of China, the deputy director or the secretary general, set off a shift

Due to the large number of people involved, the source pointed out that not only the grassroots posts are involved, but also the ministerial management.

Luo Huining, the director of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee, has 6 deputy directors and 1 secretary-general. There are also several agencies under his jurisdiction, including the General Office, Information Consulting Office, Information Center, and the Ministry of Social Affairs, Social Work, Hong Kong Island Work Department, 21 "Departments" including the Kowloon Work Department and the New Territories Work Department.

In other words, the rank of the "Minister" of the Liaison Office is second only to the Deputy Director or Secretary General of the Liaison Office.

There will be more stringent requirements for the work of various departments, "I also write reports when I go out to meet people."

Sources believe that this transfer involves decision-makers, and the "essential" of future work will be different. It will no longer be "simply doing publicity, eating and cutting the ribbon", but with stricter work requirements and discipline, "even going out to meet people Also write a report."

In addition, the work of the Liaison Office will not stop at the political level, and will invest more resources and manpower to explore how to improve Hong Kong's economy and people's livelihood.

Emphasizes one country, two systems, Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy

Sources estimate that although many people in this "shift wave" have never been to Hong Kong to work before and do not understand Cantonese, they will not hinder the work of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee.

The source expects that the newcomers will use a more scientific and objective approach to the Hong Kong issue, in line with the new situation in Hong Kong.

Sources believe that the personnel changes or the central government’s policy towards Hong Kong has entered a new "reform stage," but the general principle of emphasizing "one country, two systems", Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong, and a high degree of autonomy will not change.
