The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Yau Tenghua, the Permanent Secretary Leung Cheuk Man, and the new Director of Broadcasting Li Baiquan attended the meeting.
Li Baiquan did not explain the reason why he picked up two episodes of "Hong Kong Story: Epidemic Walker" and one episode of "Discussion and Discussion" at the meeting. Some members were dissatisfied.
Some members asked whether Hong Kong and Taiwan should implement "Patriot ruling Taiwan." Li Baiquan did not respond positively.
Another member of the Council also suggested that the possibility of merging Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Information Services Department was "inappropriately" rejected by Yau Tenghua.

Li Baiquan has been in trouble for half a month since he took office, including two episodes of "Hong Kong Story: Epidemic Walker" and one episode of "Discussion and Discussion".
Both the New Democrat Party Rong Haien and the Liberal Party Zhong Guobin believe that Li needs to explain the reasons for the program, otherwise it will make people feel that RTHK does not respect the guests and they will be implicated.
Zhong Guobin said frankly: "You don't know how bad you are, you have to cite an example, and click on it."
In response, Li Baiquan felt that it was not good to pick up the program because it involved production costs, so in the future, it would not rule out the requirement to submit a proposal in the early stage of production.

Many Members are concerned about the personnel management of RTHK.
The DAB Huang Dingguang believes that Radio Hong Kong is within the government structure and emphasizes that equality must be "correct position." Therefore, it is hoped that "patriots governing the station" can have a balanced and correct program content.
Li Baiquan emphasized that his job is right and wrong. Starting from the first day of his new duties, he has explained that his job is to respect editor's autonomy, but government employees must abide by the rules.
Huang Dingguang criticized it, and Li's answer was "avoid the important and the slightest."
Ge Peifan, a fellow party member, pointed out that there are many contract employees in RTHK and they signed a civil servant’s declaration of support and allegiance, "You have a charter, but you don’t care when you take office." The establishment Liao Changjiang also rebuked. RTHK is in During the anti-amendment period, they turned to each other, "supporting the black storm," and severely criticized personnel for risk management problems.
Liang Zhuowen said that no matter how Hong Kong and Taiwan employees provide services in any way, they must abide by government rules and departmental orders, and they are no different from civil servants.
The establishment, He Junyao, discussed at the meeting that Hong Kong, Taiwan and the Information Services Department can share resources. For example, the use of staff from the 6th team of the Information Services Department can reduce the staff.
Qiu Tenghua retorted that He's suggestion was inappropriate because the roles and functions of the two are different.
He said that RTHK is a public organization but also a news organization. As for the Information Services Department, it serves the government and news organizations and provides publicity and promotion for various government departments.
After the meeting, Li Baiquan did not respond to whether he would meet with the Hong Kong and Taiwan trade unions.
