Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council, delivered an "important" speech this morning (16th) through video. On the surface, he talked mainly about national security issues, but in reality, he "painted a doll and draws his intestines" and listed good "rulers". In summary, the many requirements are a big expectation, plus two political requirements and five ability requirements.
It is worth noting that in the past, leaders of the central government have mentioned the deep-seated contradictions in Hong Kong. However, Xia Baolong’s speech this time is more specific and more determined than previous leaders’ speeches. Solve deep-seated contradictions such as housing.

First mention political requirements to ensure political stability and social security
Xia Baolong first put forward a vision in his speech that Hong Kong has a lot to do in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
But his speech not only put forward expectations for Hong Kong, but also pointed out what Hong Kong governors must do to achieve this vision, which can be said to be very straightforward.
Xia Baolong put forward two political requirements for governors. The first is that Hong Kong’s national security law must be adhered to to escort.
The second is to strictly implement the "patriots ruling Hong Kong."
The two major political requirements all point to the same goal, which is to maintain Hong Kong’s social and political stability. This can be seen from one sentence of the speech: "Security is the prerequisite for development, and development is the goal of security."
Ensure political stability and social security to ensure the continued prosperity of Hong Kong.
In addition to the two political requirements, Xia Baolong also pointed out in a disguised form that the governor, in addition to being a patriot, must also have five requirements for abilities. The meticulousness and specificity of these requirements are rare in the speeches of previous central leaders.
The first capability requirement is to adhere to the constitutional system, that is, "be good at fully and accurately implementing the "one country, two systems" policy in the practice of governing Hong Kong, and be a patriot with a firm stand."
This is an indisputable job requirement, and it is expected to put it first.
Detailed ability requirements to guide Hong Kong people’s livelihood issues and how to solve them
What is worth paying attention to is the second capability requirement. Xia Baolong mentioned that governors need to "be good at solving various contradictions and problems facing Hong Kong's development, and be a patriot who is responsible."
In the past, central officials have also repeatedly mentioned that Hong Kong must resolve deep-seated contradictions. For example, Luo Huining, director of the Liaison Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, proposed at this year’s Lunar New Year reception that “more precise and effective governance measures should be taken to gradually resolve employment, income, land, housing, medical care, etc. Major people’s livelihood issues to resolve the deep-seated contradictions that affect the lives of the general public." However, Xia Baolong’s speech this time has a stronger tone and more specific words. It can be said to "guide" SAR officials in Hong Kong "what are the problems" and "how to solve them." problem".
Xia Baolong stated that the SAR governors must "have strategic thinking and broad vision, focus on investigation and research and scientific decision-making", and "eliminate all kinds of ailments that affect the improvement of Hong Kong's social and political ecology", that is, to solve Hong Kong with a strategic vision and scientific decision-making. All kinds of big problems that have existed for a long time.
He specifically mentioned the need to "break through the various interest barriers that restrict Hong Kong's economic development and the improvement of people's livelihood." He clearly pointed out that there are various interest relationships in Hong Kong society, making it difficult to change.
And what Xia Baolong mentioned is to "effectively solve prominent problems such as housing, employment, medical care, and the disparity between the rich and the poor," which shows that the central government has already grasped the pulse of Hong Kong's social problems and has explored major problems.
Being good at doing practical things for the people requires focusing on things that people are concerned about
Xia Baolong’s third ability requirement is to "be good at doing practical things for the people and be a patriot who loves the people." He believes that the government should "attach to the grassroots and be grounded," and "especially focus on what the general public is concerned about."
As for what is of concern to the general public, I believe it cannot be separated from the "prominent issues such as housing, employment, medical care, and disparity between the rich and the poor" mentioned in the second point.
Xia Baolong proposed to "use great efforts to solve the above problems with pragmatic and effective methods," which seems to imply that the principals of the SAR did not make great efforts and did not adopt pragmatic and effective methods to solve the above problems. Therefore, the work attitude must be changed.
The fourth point of ability requirements is "good at uniting all forces and being a charismatic patriot", and the fifth point is "good at performing duties and responsible, being a responsible patriot", that is, to unite all walks of life and build together , Concentrate and professionally perform duties as a team of the SAR government.
Xia Baolong mentioned that after Hong Kong achieves good governance and good governance, there will be the prosperous scene expected by the central government.
People's livelihood looks forward to putting the first words in place, paying attention to "hard targets"
Xia Baolong looked forward to: "At that time, Hong Kong's economy was more prosperous, the development of various undertakings was more balanced, and the society was more harmonious and peaceful. Especially now that the housing problem that everyone is worried about will be greatly improved, and we will say goodbye to subdivided housing and "cage homes." "
Although this text is short, it is of great significance, and the wording is particular.
The three characters "especially" highlight the following housing issues, and the five characters "worry everyone" echoes the job requirements of "things of concern to the general public."
"The housing problem "will" be greatly improved", "will" shows that this is not only a hope, but is something that the Hong Kong government "must" do. "Great improvement" shows that the Hong Kong government has to drastically reverse the current housing problem. Dilemma.
Xia Baolong even said that he "will bid farewell" to the sub-district and "cage rooms", which also shows that this is not a vision, but a hard target to be implemented to the end.
Other details of expectations include "the democratic system has more progress and the rule of law is more complete", "the practice of "one country, two systems" is more fruitful, and the "patriots ruling Hong Kong" are fully realized." These two hopes are ranked behind the people's housing. It also reflects the central government’s importance to the housing problem in Hong Kong. It can even be seen that the central government has become a bit "anxious" at this point, almost urging the Hong Kong government to resolve it as soon as possible.
Finally, I hope that Hong Kong will "add new laurels beyond the international financial, shipping, and trade centers", that is, the economy and industry will have rapid development, and "become the new Oriental Pearl that the whole world is fascinated by."
Although central officials have repeatedly put forward suggestions and even guidance on Hong Kong affairs in the past, it is rare and the first time that such a clear list of requirements, work lists, and task roadmaps are given.
