The new chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, Paul Harris, was revealed. He was a member of the Oxford City Council and resigned before the election.

Tang Jiahua, the former chairman of the Bar Association and a member of the guild, criticized Xia Boyi for concealing his political background from the industry and voters. He was very disappointed with Xia Boyi and hoped that he would resign as soon as possible and bring justice to the industry.

Guo Rongkeng, a former member of the Civic Party’s Legislative Council, retorted on Facebook today, saying that when the former Secretary of Justice Yuan Guoqiang served as the chairman of the Association, he also served as the Guangdong Provincial CPPCC.

When Tang Jiahua accepted the inquiry of "Hong Kong 01", he expressed disagreement with Guo's views, but respected his views, and emphasized that Xia Boyi is still a member of the Liberal Democratic Party of the United Kingdom, and he is worried that it will affect the image of the Association.

According to the British media "Oxford Post", Xia Boyi resigned as a member of the Oxford City Council before the election on the grounds that he had moved to Hong Kong and had family and work connections in Hong Kong.

Yuan Guoqiang, then chairman of the Bar Association, was appointed as a member of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference during his tenure. At that time, many former chairmen, including Tang Jiahua, expressed surprise and disappointment, and questioned the role conflict between the chairman of the Association and the CPPCC.

Tang Jiahua recalled that when Yuan Guoqiang was appointed, the association had a great response, and they all believed that Yuan should not hold a political office.

But Yuan Guoqiang was not a member of the political party at the time, and Xia Boyi is still a member of the Liberal Democratic Party of the United Kingdom.

He also pointed out that some members of the guild were not aware of Xia’s political background. Although the guild did not require the president’s candidates to declare political connections, the chairman should maintain a pertinent image.

Liang Zhenying, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive, issued an open letter to Xia Boyi, stating that the other party should resign as chairman.
