Chief Executive Carrie Lam concluded her last visit to Beijing during her term of office. "Hong Kong 01" quoted news earlier, saying that Beijing had "special arrangements" for this report, which may reflect the market for Lam Cheng's re-election.
It turned out that the central government invited "Mr. First" Lin Zhaobo to join him in Beijing, and President Xi Jinping personally invited "Doing Winter" for the first time in four years.
There was also Macau Chief Executive He Yicheng and his wife.
According to the analysis by senior establishments, the central government’s high-level banquet for Lin Zheng and his wife at this time was "soothing" or saying goodbye. It is estimated that the market for Lin Zheng's re-election has faded.
Lin Zheng was received by Premier Li Keqiang and President Xi Jinping yesterday to conduct an annual report on the chief executive. Xinhua News Agency reported in detail about the meeting and speech, but did not mention the banquet.
It is reported that after Xi Jinping received Carrie Lam and He Yicheng in Zhongnanhai, he had a dinner with the two chief executives. Carrie Lam's husband Lin Zhaobo and the wife of Macau's chief executive were also invited to the same venue. This is the first time in four years.
Lin Zheng took office in 2017 and went to Beijing for the first time at the end of the same year. After meeting with Xi Jinping that year, Lin Zheng told reporters that he and his husband Lin Zhaobo, and then Macau Chief Executive Cui Shian and his wife were banished by Xi Jinping, which made it relatively late to meet with reporters.
The central government invited "Mr. First" Lin Zhaobo to Beijing together, and President Xi Jinping personally hosted a banquet for "Doing Winter." There were also Macau Chief Executive He Yicheng and his wife.

After the Chief Executive received a banquet for Tung Chee-hwa after debriefing his duties, it was rare to see
"Occupy Central" broke out in Hong Kong in 2014. It is reported that after the then Chief Executive Liang Zhenying was in Beijing at the end of the year, he and the then Macau Chief Executive Cui Shian were invited by Xi Jinping together. At that time, the two chief executives' wives were invited together.
It is reported that in the early days of the return, the first Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa also reported on his work in Beijing, and his wife, Dong Zhao Hongping, was banned by the then President Jiang Zemin, but similar scenes have been rare since then.
According to the analysis by senior establishment persons who did not want to be named, it is only three months before the election of the chief executive in Hong Kong. The candidate for the next chief executive is more likely to surface next month. Time is very sensitive. "The leader is hosting a dinner for Lam and his wife at this time. Reward, a series of show comforts or goodbyes, it seems that the latter has a stronger taste."
Earlier, Lam Cheng reported on his work through video calls.

The person also pointed out that when Xi Jinping met with Lin Zheng yesterday, Xi came first and asked other officials during the waiting period: "Who are you with me in the morning?" The other person responded: "The State Council system." It sounds like something different.

He also praised Lam Cheng for his firm stand and courage to take on major issues of right and wrong such as national security. ".
