In order to strengthen the alignment of national governance ideas and better integrate into the overall situation of national development, the SAR government invited a number of central officials to go south to preach the "Outline of the National Fourteenth Five-Year Plan" and Hong Kong opportunities for three consecutive days.
From the perspective of the content of the presentation, the officials concerned are absolutely not sloppy. From the macro top-level strategic design to the specific issues of high-quality living, offshore RMB, and dual-cycle advantages, all they bring are "dry goods"; however, they are managing Hong Kong. Judging from the reactions of the readers, it is very likely that they will not understand.
For example, the previous day (August 23) in the afternoon of the Legislative Council, when Zhou Chengjun, the director of the Financial Research Institute of the People's Bank of China, had already spent a lot of time talking about Hong Kong's need to strengthen system construction to facilitate the internationalization of the RMB, and some legislators even asked questions about the future of Hong Kong's finances. Which areas should be developed, and the other party had to recapitulate their speeches. In addition, some members asked about Hong Kong's "what role can be played", "how to seize development opportunities", "what role should be played", etc., so that the preaching members are quite equal. Embarrassing question-completely throwing away the question that you should answer the most to the other party, not only exposes your incompetence, but also really has a negative effect on "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong."
Members of the 14th Five-Year Plan Propaganda Group went to the Legislative Council to share how Hong Kong should seize opportunities.
(Provided by the Legislative Council)
"Director Luo said that if you can’t advance, you will retreat. If you advance slowly, you will also retreat. Director Huang also said that there will be no boat rides after Suzhou. This shows that practical arrangements are very important. Construction. For Hong Kong, how can we seize this opportunity, speed up construction to cope with development, what role can Hong Kong play, and what abilities should young people strengthen to ensure that they can seize this opportunity?" In the "Seizing the 14th Five-Year Opportunity and Integrating into the Dual-Circular State's 14th Five-Year Plan Lecture", Guo Weiqiang on behalf of the Federation of Trade Unions finally asked questions.
But when he finished asking questions for one and a half minutes, the four preaching members on the stage still didn't seem to respond and did not respond immediately.
It was not until the President of the Legislative Council Liang Junyan named Zhou Chengjun, the director of the People’s Bank of China Financial Research Institute, that Zhou Chengjun said with a smile: "I don’t have a good grasp of your question, can you be a little more specific?" However, Guo Weiqiang doesn’t seem to understand Zhou Chengjun’s euphemism either. So repeat the question-"How does Hong Kong participate in the "14th Five-Year Plan" to promote the construction of major cooperation platforms between Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, such as Shenzhen Qianhai, Guangzhou Nansha, and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Loop. What role do we have and how can we seize opportunities? How do young people participate?" Zhou Chengjun had to say frankly that the relevant issues involved major regional planning, and it was more appropriate to refer to Hu Zhaohui, deputy director of the Development Strategy and Planning Department of the National Development and Reform Commission, and Hu Zhaohui had to summarize the content that was just announced. Say it again.
In the "14th Five-Year Plan" presentation of the Legislative Council, many Members' questions were blatantly short.
Members of course have the right to ask questions, but if there are even more basic questions such as "What role can Hong Kong play under the 14th Five-Year Plan", "How to seize development opportunities", "What role should it play" and so on, please ask. The level of teaching central officials is too low, because they are also elites of Hong Kong governance with a monthly income of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. The answers are not only clearly printed in the planning documents, but also mentioned by central officials at different levels to encourage them. Hong Kong has strengthened the interconnection of platforms, the mutual flow of resources, the interoperability of mechanisms, and the complementarity of systems with the Mainland.
Some people may argue that the central document mainly involves macro principles, and the members want to explore specific plans, so it is not wrong; however, according to the mainland’s top-down governance approach, when the top-level design of the "planning outline", other Based on this, ministries and local governments will formulate implementation plans to gradually achieve the "planning goals," and they have never been like Hong Kong legislators, throwing their most important questions back to the central government to answer them on their behalf.
During the nearly 30-minute questioning session, in addition to not being aggressive and self-defeating, it was even more embarrassing that many congressmen kept talking about "what kind of support can the state provide?" and "will the state introduce a preferential Hong Kong policy?" Wait, it seems that he has lost the ability to solve problems by himself, and only knows how to "snap a big hand" and wait for the central rescue, and he is completely "lying down", which is really rude.
When Huang Liuquan, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office, attended a presentation hosted by the SAR government a few days ago (August 23), he summarized the key to Hong Kong's participation in national strategy and integration into national development with the "five dockings".
However, the most disappointing issue is that the speakers have clearly stated their words, but the Members repeat their questions as if they have not heard them, causing the other party to have to finish the speech and then speak again.
For example, when Zhou Chengjun spent a lot of space on Hong Kong’s important positioning as an "offshore RMB hub" in the "14th Five-Year Plan", he believed that Hong Kong had the most conditions and responsibility to become a global RMB asset management center, value-added center and risk management center. , And called on the SAR government and legislature to actively strengthen the system to facilitate the internationalization of the renminbi--that is, after Zhou Chengjun had already pointed out that the "offshore renminbi hub" was a key development area for Hong Kong in the future, Chen Zhenying in the financial industry asked again " Which financial sectors Hong Kong can focus on in the future", it is unavoidable that people wonder if he listened carefully to the speech of the other party. In response, Zhou Chengjun also pointed out that "I have already touched on some issues in the speech just now." The market already has a good product system, supervision and management, and basic ecology, but there is still a lot of room for exploration in the cross-border use of RMB. Actively strengthen in-depth exchanges with the mainland authorities, and better understand the logic of the central bank and the regulatory authorities to implement policies, before we can introduce more innovative system construction to help promote the internationalization of the renminbi.
"Connecting to the National Fourteenth Five-Year Plan not only includes policy, industry, and market connections, but also ideas and ideas." Huang Liuquan, deputy director of the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, attended a presentation hosted by the SAR government a few days ago (August 23). These "five dockings" summarize the key to Hong Kong's participation in national strategies and integration into national development.
Regrettably, judging from the response of the above-mentioned elites governing Hong Kong, some people seem to be unable to effectively communicate with the central government officials in their understanding.
There are many reasons for the failure to connect. If you look at it from the perspectives of values, epistemology, and methodology, one of the key points is that these Hong Kong rulers still cannot grasp the core values of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the grand goal of "people-centered" "To start a new journey of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way." Nor can it understand the country's planning thinking and industrial logic that have always been adapted to the situation and local conditions, nor can it thoroughly implement top-level principles into specific policies.
