Weekly Exclusive Selection | What is the real meaning of "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong"?

Hong Kong is entering the 25th year of its reunification. "One country, two systems" is still successfully operating. However, "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" is facing great challenges because many people lack the consciousness of "masters of the country" and only focus on "Hong Kong people choose Hong Kong people to govern Hong Kong." The form of expression has not been sublimated to the substantive connotation of "Hong Kong people govern Hong Kong well."

An obvious example is that after the State Council Information Office released the "Democratic Development of Hong Kong under "One Country, Two Systems" white paper last Monday (December 20), many elites in Hong Kong expressed welcome and support, while muttering in their hearts, "What is the central government? What do you mean? How can Hong Kong implement the "dual universal suffrage"? When will there be a "road map"?" But no one has enough responsibility and confidence to stand up and lead the people of Hong Kong to reinvigorate - in fact, the white paper is quite clear. As long as Hong Kong gets rid of democratic myths and improves governance efficiency, it will be able to reshape the "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong". It will have the confidence to "restart political reform" and practice the democratic development of Hong Kong!

Leaving aside the "one country, two systems" policy, according to the top-down governance approach of the Mainland, when the top-level design goals and paths, various ministries and local governments will actively assume governance responsibilities, formulate implementation plans based on this, and strive to move toward their goals. Rather than throwing the most important questions to the central government; under the "one country, two systems", the Hong Kong SAR is even more allowed to formulate specific policies on its own, and our executive and legislative bodies even have greater flexibility and space, if even "How to do it in detail" requires the central officials to do it for you, which is really unfavorable for "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong"...

"Sustainable Development" Global Responsible Conservation Policy Doesn't Highlight Ecological Disaster

At the beginning of eternity, human beings lived in a "barren" area, and this "barrenness" was the natural environment that other species depended on for their survival.

As humans continue to evolve and multiply, they occupy more and more living space, and even cause damage to the original natural environment, and the climate crisis and endangered ecology are becoming more and more serious.

The natural environment is a very important element for human survival. If humans wish to continue to live and multiply on the earth, they have the responsibility to co-exist with other species and the natural environment, so that human beings and the earth can "sustainably develop."

So, how does the government protect Hong Kong's ecological environment in a "inch of gold and earth" Hong Kong?

Between 1980 and 2000, the earth lost 100 million hectares of tropical forests and only 13% of wetlands.

People's livelihood contradictions must be resolved without refuge in political reform

The Legislative Council election was settled, and a total of 90 members were elected in the three major sections of direct elections, functional constituencies, and electoral committees.

Most of the elected people said that entering the Legislative Council must focus on solving deep-seated conflicts, including housing, poverty, and medical issues.

Deep-seated contradictions have plagued Hong Kong society for many years. It is of course necessary to deal with them immediately. However, some political issues such as double universal suffrage have also harassed for a long time. After the implementation of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", can the new parliament seize the opportunity to promote political reform?

Please

On the day following the Legislative Council election, the Information Office of the State Council issued a white paper entitled "Hong Kong's Democratic Development under "One Country, Two Systems"", summarizing the course of Hong Kong's democratic development.

The Tree-cutting Disturbance in Guangzhou: The Story Behind the Fall of the Wusha Hat

"With trees, cities can have romance; with trees, cities have vitality. Trees are the most indispensable part of an urban ecosystem. It is a pity that some leaders in Guangzhou do not understand this truth, otherwise they would not cut down banyan trees. "In an online article in December, the author summarized the tree-cutting storm in Guangzhou over the past year.

Over the past year, the government of Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong Province, has promoted the renewal of urban greening. The attempt to relocate or cut down thousands of large banyan trees in the city for reasons such as affecting traffic has triggered great controversy and even aroused the anger of the top leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.

In the end, this incident led to the resignation of the leading party and government officials in Guangzhou, and ten other officials were punished.

Although the storm has passed and the big banyan tree has been preserved, the questioning cannot end there.

What needs to be asked is why the government's decision-making is so willful and reckless, and what is behind it.

Please

The tree-cutting incident in Guangzhou alarmed Xi Jinping and caused officials to throw away their black hats.

Omicron has gradually become a mainstream anti-epidemic shortcoming, it is not uncommon

One month after South Africa notified the World Health Organization (WHO) Omicron variant, the virus strain has quickly become the mainstream of newly confirmed cases in Europe and the United States such as Denmark, Portugal, the United Kingdom, and the United States, and its global prevalence has become a matter of time.

In the United States, in the week ending December 18, this variant has accounted for 73% of its newly diagnosed cases, a six-fold increase from the previous week's number.

As time progresses and Omicron spreads from South Africa to South Africa where it was first discovered, we are constantly deepening our knowledge of Omicron.

Based on the latest research results from the United Kingdom, South Africa and other countries, Omicron has a high infectious ability, but its pathogenicity seems to be not as good as the global Delta.

A British government study last week showed that the hospitalization rate of Omicron-infected patients is 50 to 70% lower than that of Delta patients.

Please

The streets of Britain are still crowded with people.
