The Hong Kong team has repeatedly achieved good results in the Tokyo Olympics this year, but people in Hong Kong who watched the games in shopping malls booed the national anthem and applauded their Chinese opponents. Zhong Jianhua, deputy chief executive of the Hong Kong Institute of Public Opinion, believes that the situation reflects the current situation of Hong Kong people.


The Hong Kong team has repeatedly achieved good results in the Tokyo Olympics this year, but people in Hong Kong who watched the games in shopping malls booed the national anthem and applauded their Chinese opponents.

Zhong Jianhua, deputy chief executive of the Hong Kong Institute of Public Opinion, believes that the situation reflects that Hong Kong people are currently disgusted with Chinese elements and are pinned on the negative sentiments of the past few years. It is necessary to reflect on the issue of "popular sentiment", which means that all the responsibilities are passed on to the opposition to solve the problem.


Zhong Jianhua mentioned that the two recent ID studies conducted by the Hong Kong Civil Affairs Research Institute found that even the identity of oneself as a Hong Kong citizen has declined recently.

He said that after he talked with young people, he found that they expressed despair about the prospects, and even Hong Kong people didn't want to recognize them. They only hoped that they would immigrate to another country when they had enough savings, but he did not conduct a public opinion survey on this.

Zhong Jianhua attended the Internet program "Parliament Inside and Outside" by the former chairman of the Democratic Party, Emily Liu, said today that Hong Kongers actually clapped their hands when the Chinese team lost in the last Rio Olympics. He had already stated that the situation deserved Beijing's reflection.

He mentioned that this was not the case even during the negotiations on the return of Beijing. During the 1982 Chinese Women’s Volleyball Competition, he himself put up the slogan "Learning Women’s Volleyball, Revitalizing China" at CUHK, referring to the enthusiasm on campus. , But in recent years it has evolved into such a situation as the national anthem.

Citizens pinning past negative sentiments to blame on the opposition does not help

He explained that he believes that the Chinese Communist Party has always used sports to demonstrate national development and cultivate nationalism. It has been successful in the past, but problems have emerged in recent years. The situation is now more serious. It is obvious that Hong Kong people have a negative feeling about China and dislike Chinese elements. I believe it is true. The negative sentiments of the past few years have been pinned on, such as the belief that the Mainland has dwarfed Hong Kong and failed to comply with the promise of universal suffrage, but the sentiment could not be vented, and turned to this.

Zhong Jianhua called on the government and the establishment to reflect on their own problems in handling the sentiments of the people in Hong Kong. He emphasized that it would be useless to shift responsibility to the opposition.

Chief Executive Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor listed data in the press conference to support the decision to postpone the election, and the results were similar to those of the Hong Kong Research Association, which is considered to be closely related to the establishment.

Criticizing unscientific polls emerged, but Lin Cheng once quoted

Zhong Jianhua pointed out that even if the polls of the Hong Kong Civil Research Institute were rejected by them, the established media seldom quoted the Hong Kong Civil Research Institute's polls in recent years, emphasizing that they have publicly conducted polls in accordance with the strictest standards. Even if they are not recognized, the truth cannot be ignored. Erased.

He also mentioned that in recent years, there have been many more polling agencies in Hong Kong whose names are very close to them, but they have chosen to hold polls on WeChat and ask questions in terms of inciting emotions, and doubts seem to be deliberately dwarfing scientific polls.

Zhong Jianhua is even more critical. Even "Hong Kong students" and Chief Executive Carrie Lam have quoted questionable polls.

In August last year, after Lam Cheng decided to postpone the Legislative Council election, polls showed that more than half of the people supported the postponement of the election. Therefore, he believes that the public opinion foundation for the postponement decision is solid and it is related to the Hong Kong research that is considered to be closely related to the establishment. The results of the association's investigation during that period were similar.

Zhong Jianhua also mentioned that the Hong Kong Civil Research Institute conducts a half-yearly research on Hong Kong people’s ratings and awareness of politicians in China and Taiwan. Although there are media reports that President Xi Jinping’s ratings have risen twice in a row, the increase is actually due to Xi Jinping’s at the end of 2019. And it fell to the lowest point of 39 points at the beginning of 2020, and only rebounded after 3 rounds of polls.

He mentioned that the highest recognition and ranking in the polls was former Premier Zhu Rongji, with a score of 69, and the following former Premier Wen Jiabao and former President Hu Jintao also had high scores. Xi Jinping is only ranked fifth and thinks he should be some. Politicians who have passed 20 years are most missed by Hong Kong people, reflecting the feelings of Hong Kong people towards leaders.
