Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor held a press conference on Tuesday (14th). She talked about the broadcasting rights of the 14th National Games. Behind her, the screen mistakenly wrote "The People's Republic of China" as "The People's Republic of China". The incident caused heated discussions and ridicule in the society There are some, some are harsh, and some people question that the civil service system does not have a fundamental understanding of the country, and it cannot be lightly brought to light on reasons such as "temporary negligence."
Although the incident may only be the mistake of the hands and the people, it also reflects the government's omissions in its handling of affairs, and a culture of accountability should be established and carefully checked.
In the face of the public's publicity materials, the government has written wrong country names, and should start to strengthen the review process from the mechanism.

Government levels of approval are still wrong
After the misplantation incident, the Chief Executive’s Office apologized for this, saying that it would take measures to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
The outside world has no way of knowing the true cause of the incident, or it was only a brief moment. However, the government has not yet explained it in detail.
Although the incident has not meant to be "fired" or severely punished, before the government displays these scenes, in fact, there should be layers of approval from design, proofreading to exit. Why are there still errors under this procedure?
It is really necessary to find insufficient.
The incident itself may be just a trivial matter, but in today's environment where society lacks mutual trust, many things will be placed under a magnifying glass, and naturally there will be different reactions.
After the typo incident, dissidents used the topic to make use of it. From the online comments, it can be seen that the "blue silk" would question the "yellow silk civil servant" deliberately, while the "yellow silk" satirized the government for "humiliating China" and "violating the national security law." .
Although the reason is likely to be the mistake of the hands and the people, in the social division, there is a lack of trust between people and between society and the government.
It must be emphasized that it is not necessary to "turn small things into big things", but to "look at the big things from the small things." After this mistake, will the civil service team review the work process and mentality to re-establish a fundamental understanding of the country?
The Hong Kong government mistakenly planted the name of the country as "The People's Republic of China" more than once in the past.
Looking through the information, the government actually made the same mistake. The title of the report submitted by the Hong Kong government to the United Nations in 2008 was wrong; and on September 12, 2015, when the then Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying attended the seminar to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law, The "Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China" appeared (corrected, the original file is here).
Repeated mistakes reflect that the government team has failed to establish good awareness and procedures. In this kind of incidents that require layered approval, errors have not been discovered, indicating that there may be problems in the review process.
To solve the problem, of course, we must establish an accountability culture, so that the principal officials at all levels must have the awareness of "doing good things". "Accountability" is not just about punishment.
In particular, the name of a country is a serious matter, and there should be a better control mechanism, and the past should not be confused by "hands and people's mistakes."
Passports have national ID cards and driving licenses, but they cannot be unified
Speaking of country names, the politicians reported after the incident of misplanting that the original Hong Kong resident ID card and driving license did not contain the country name "People's Republic of China", while the SAR passport did.
The same is a government document, and the country name is sometimes absent, reflecting that the government does not seem to be aware of a unified title, which is not ideal.
As the Bauhinia Party said in the article "01 Open Lectures", ID cards are a common symbol for residents of the region, and the name of the country should be handled in a unified manner.
"The People's Republic of China" appeared on the screen of Lin Zhengji's invitation. The Chief Executive's Office apologized: to prevent the wrong country name from being written again. He Junyao reprimanded "The chickens are all wrong with every word": "The People's Republic of China" is planted without the brain. Provoking the Bauhinia Party's proposal to add country name to ID card
