Analysis | Xia Baolong's speech is straightforward to solve the housing problem without delay

Xia Baolong, director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office of the State Council, delivered a speech at the National Hong Kong and Macau Research Conference this morning (16th). In addition to reviewing the effectiveness of the implementation of the Hong Kong National Security Law for one year, he also proposed the "four expectations" for the future of Hong Kong. One item of concern is the mention of Hong Kong’s housing problem, which will surely be greatly improved, and bid farewell to sub-divided housing and cage homes.

The housing problem has plagued Hong Kong for many years. It is not the first time that the Central Government has asked Hong Kong to work hard to resolve this deep-seated contradiction. Especially now that the National Security Law and the perfect electoral system have been implemented, political obstacles have been cleared, and the Hong Kong government has no worries about the future and must take responsibility. And courage to solve the housing, there can be no more delay.

The "Four Expectations" first mention housing issues and reflect the dire situation

Xia Baolong put forward three "great things" in his speech. The first is that Hong Kong has a lot to do in the historical process of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. I think everyone can imagine the practice of "one country, two systems" in Hong Kong when the country's second centenary goal is achieved. What kind of bright scene will it be?

He mentioned the "four expectations." The first is that the economy will be more prosperous, the development of various undertakings will be more balanced, and the society will be more harmonious and tranquil. "Especially now that the housing problem that everyone is worried about will be greatly improved. "Cage House"."

Putting people's livelihood issues related to the interests of the general public at the first "expectation" has shown its importance and also reflected how serious the housing problem in Hong Kong is.

Although this passage is short, it is of great significance. The words "especially", "all worried", "great improvement" and other words indicate that the housing problem is already in dire straits, and it is urgent to solve it!

With regard to the housing problem, the Hong Kong government must substantially reverse the current predicament. To make sub-divided and caged homes "say goodbye" in Hong Kong shows that this is not a vision and can be done slowly, but a hard task that must be implemented to the end.

In fact, the central leadership has repeatedly talked about the housing problem in Hong Kong. In the two sessions of March this year, Vice Premier Han Zheng stated that the housing problem in Hong Kong has historical reasons and it is very difficult to solve it. "But there must be a beginning." It shows that the housing problem can no longer be delayed and must be reformed drastically.

Xia Baolong’s second "hope" is greater progress in the democratic system and a more complete rule of law. "Children can grow up healthily and happily, students can receive good education, and young people have a broad stage for employment and entrepreneurship. To chase their dreams, the elderly can take care of their lives, and all citizens can enjoy a happier and healthier life." The so-called "living and working in peace and contentment", if the problem of "difficult housing" in the whole society is not resolved, the waiting time for public housing will continue to increase. How to make the society develop by leaps and bounds, and the property market is hitting the top again?

Have strategic thinking to solve all kinds of contradictions and problems

It is worth noting that Xia Baolong mentioned the five major conditions for the selection of governors in the latter part of his speech. The second one is to "solve the various contradictions and problems facing Hong Kong's development and be a patriot who takes responsibility."

He pointed out that governors must have strategic thinking and broad vision, pay attention to investigation, research and scientific decision-making. All kinds of chronic diseases have broken through various interest barriers that restrict Hong Kong's economic development and improvement of people's livelihood, effectively cracking down on prominent issues such as housing, employment, medical care, and the disparity between the rich and the poor, and continuously improving the governance capabilities and standards of the Special Administrative Region."

This is precisely the serious demand placed on Hong Kong's governors now and in the future.

The central government and the people of Hong Kong need not only steadfast patriots, but also talents, courage and responsibility to touch vested interests, to properly solve the old and difficult problems that have plagued Hong Kong for many years, and to do practical work for the general public.

In fact, although Xia Baolong's speech this time focuses on the National Security Law, Hong Kong has implemented the National Security Law for one year and the electoral system has been improved, which has reshaped Hong Kong’s political order. He has very bluntly pointed out the top priority of Hong Kong. When dealing with economic and livelihood issues, Hong Kong government officials must understand, act immediately, and hand in satisfactory examination papers.
