Chief Executive Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor received an interview with "Phoenix Satellite TV" and was asked whether the Hong Kong epidemic has not been "cleared". Does it mean that customs clearance is far away. Lam Cheng pointed out that it is not necessary to wait until the case is "cleared" to pass customs. "But there is no It is said that Hong Kong must be "zero" before customs can be cleared, so we think it will be a while. If the situation is now under control, we can gradually increase the number of normal personnel exchanges. Because this is too important, no matter for the two places, Hong Kong and the Mainland, or Hong Kong and other places, are so important."
When asked about re-election as chief executive, Lam Cheng only said: "I still won't answer this question. I really feel that there is still a lot of work to be done."
Refers to the mainland's institutional advantage in fighting the epidemic
Neng Lam Cheng said that at any time and any government wants to achieve "zeroing", Hong Kong is no exception, but in reality it is difficult to completely achieve zeroing. "Imported cases cannot be avoided, but there must be very strict external defenses. We are really almost the most stringent place in the world. Everyone needs a nucleic acid test when entering the country. They have to wait until a negative result before they can leave the airport. And instead of going home, they need 21 days of quarantine.” She believes that internal control. The epidemic cannot be completely thorough. The government will continue to work hard in this regard. "However, it did not say that Hong Kong must be "zero" to pass customs. So we think it will take a while. If the situation can be controlled now, it can be Slowly increase the number of normal personnel exchanges."
Lam Cheng believes that Hong Kong has no institutional advantage in anti-epidemic work. She takes the closure or testing of communities in the mainland as an example. The mainland has the entire system, with street offices and community committees, knowing how to serve residents in the area. Their artificial intelligence and big data systems are far stronger than Hong Kong. So these are the differences between the two places."
When asked about re-election, Lam Cheng refused to answer, saying only that "I have a lot to do now." She has to deal with many problems every day. She believes that Hong Kong has such talents. "First, we have (Hong Kong) ) National Security Law, at least social security and public order, we can deal with it. There is no need to worry about Hong Kong all day long. The people are very afraid of going out and things being destroyed. If this election system can be improved this time, I hope there will be more. People who are nominated to run the future of Hong Kong."
As for the reform of the electoral system, Lam said that the time to amend the law is very tight. "Time is very tight. It can be said that there are only 12 months left. Because we are now in March. Under normal circumstances, the next Chief Executive should be in March next year. It is about to be elected." She mentioned that the election timetable after the adjustment system will first elect the Election Committee, then the Legislative Council, and then elect the Chief Executive, describing it as "step by step."
She added: "There are many electoral laws in Hong Kong to hold elections, such as voter registration, how to conduct the election on the day, how to delimit and how to make nominations, a lot of work. So when the NPC Standing Committee has revised Annex 1 and Annex 2, it will It is handed over to the SAR government for local legislation. Our job is to draft relevant amendments and then submit them to the current Legislative Council for review and approval. After approval, we will enter into specific arrangements for elections."
