The Election Committee, which is responsible for electing the Chief Executive, held an election in September. Various people interested in winning the seat of chief executive have begun to warm up. Among them, the vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive Liang Zhenying is the most active. The borders of country parks and the establishment of a cultural bureau are likely to make a comeback.
Two sources familiar with Hong Kong and Macao affairs revealed to "Hong Kong 01" that Liang Zhenying has expressed to Beijing his wish to run for the next chief executive, but Beijing has not made a clear statement, neither supporting nor opposing it.
According to the analysis by senior establishments, Beijing’s “no statement is also a statement.” He believes that under Beijing’s failure to send a clear signal, Liang Yingzheng “copyed” the 2012 election strategy and relied on housing and other livelihood issues to accumulate popularity and strive for the next term. The election of the chief executive is open to competition, but it is still unknown whether Beijing will eventually "give the green light" to Liang to formally run for the election.
"Hong Kong 01" is inquiring with Liang Zhenying.
Liang Ying has been active in recent months and has visited senior officials of the establishment
Liang Ying recently started to clear the way for Liang Zhenying's return to run for the election. First, "Liang Fan" Zhang Zhigang pointed out that Liang Zhenying, who is also the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was not "degraded", and he could even resign as the chief executive of the CPPCC; Zhang Ze pointed out that the CPPCC can take 5 years of leave.
When Liang Zhenying attended a radio program last Saturday (22nd), he was asked if he would run for the Chief Executive? He said that he would be very happy if he could serve the country and Hong Kong in any position. He also proposed the conditions for being the Chief Executive, including recognition Under the general situation of the Mainland, the two sides of the strait, and the international situation, how to "see good luck and avoid evil" in Hong Kong
According to sources, Liang Zhenying had expressed to Beijing earlier that he hoped to run for the election of chief executive, and "Liang Ying" has also recently visited some senior officials of the establishment.
It is rumored that Beijing did not comment on Liang Zhenying's participation in the election, neither "closing the gate" nor "blessing". Liang Ying interpreted that CY could continue his current work and win the support of different people in the society without stopping.
Senior organizational system: Beijing has the power to decide "entry the gate"
A senior establishment person said that when Liang Zhenying deployed to run for the chief executive in 2010 and 2011, Beijing was rumored to favor Tang Yingnian as the chief executive. Liang Zhenying had no chance of winning the election. However, Liang Zhenying kept visiting the district, writing articles, and proposing political platforms, gradually accumulating Gaomin. Hopefully, coupled with Tang Yingnian's continuous involvement in negative news, the central government decided to "open the gate" and became "Tang and Liang can do it." Liang Zhenying was approved by Beijing to announce his candidacy, and finally staged a "reverse victory."
However, the organizer reminded that a few months before the last Chief Executive election (approximately November 2016), Liang Zhenying was still determined to fight for re-election after meeting with national leaders at APEC (Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation). Unexpectedly, on the eve of the election committee election, Liang Zhenying suddenly announced that he would not compete, indicating that the decision to enter the gate was ultimately still in Beijing's hands.
A high-ranking establishment who had contact with Liang Ying said that if Liang Zhenying decides to run for the chief executive, the key is not the status of vice chairman of the CPPCC, but that Beijing had "persuaded" Liang Zhenying a few years ago. If he is allowed to re-elect, I am afraid it will be difficult. Justify it.
However, this person believes that regardless of whether Leung is in the election or not, it does not mean that Carrie Lam has a great chance of being re-elected. He believes that society should now consider what kind of chief executive is needed to resolve the deep-seated conflicts in Hong Kong.
