As the saying goes, "people's livelihood and politics are inseparable", and when applied to the current Hong Kong, it is "anti-epidemic and politics are inseparable".
The fifth wave of the epidemic hit like a tsunami, and the high-level officials of the SAR government did not dare to neglect. Yesterday, they went north to Shenzhen to hold an emergency meeting with central officials and mainland experts to discuss countermeasures, and the epidemic war entered a new stage.
This meeting focuses on fighting the epidemic, but the political implications are also quite rich. In addition to the strong smell of "the central government cares for Hong Kong" and "the motherland is always the most solid backing of Hong Kong", it also unknowingly revealed that Chief Executive Lin Zheng Yue'e is suspected of being "overheaded"!

Last month, it was said to stay in Hong Kong to fight the epidemic. Today, the central government is helping the epidemic but not participating in the overall planning.
It is not groundless to say that the Chief Executive has been made false.
Everyone still has fresh memories. At the press conference on the 31st of last month, Carrie Lam told reporters that he was invited by the central government to participate in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, but due to the epidemic situation in Hong Kong, he "immediately declined" the invitation. , neither she nor her husband will be present at the opening ceremony.
Even the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, the country's biggest event at present, "refused" to attend the meeting. It should be said that Lin Zheng's most important and only "task" during these days is to fight the epidemic. However, why did he miss yesterday's emergency meeting in Shenzhen? Woolen cloth?
According to the Chief Secretary for Administration, Li Jiachao, who "led the team" to Shenzhen to attend the meeting, he has verbally informed Lam Cheng to report and will coordinate related work.
For such an important phased anti-epidemic project, why is Carrie Lam, the general marshal of Hong Kong's anti-epidemic report, only given an oral report and has no chance of coordinating it. Instead, his deputy, Li Jiachao, will coordinate it?
Then she "refused" to participate in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, isn't it superfluous?
This is the question that many people in the political circle had in mind yesterday.

3 The director was assigned the division of labor alone, and Chen Zhaoshi had "zero division of labor"
In fact, the clues that Carrie Lam was "overheaded" did not stop there. In this battle against the epidemic, Chen Zhaoshi, the Secretary for Food and Health, who is often inseparable from her, also has the same "destiny".
According to Li Jiachao's announcement yesterday, the officials who attended the meeting on behalf of the Hong Kong government yesterday, in addition to Li Jiachao himself, also had four secretaries: the Secretary for Transport and Housing, Chen Fan, the Secretary for Food and Health, Chen Zhaoshi, and the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Tsang Kwok-wai and The Secretary for Security, Mr Tang Ping-keung, was assigned to take up the work of five tertiary classes, including:
1: Chen Fan, director of transportation and housing, is responsible for material supply and stability;
2: The Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Tsang Kwok-wai, is responsible for liaison with the Mainland, including coordinating the establishment of special classes, coordinating with the Mainland, and coordinating the enhancement of testing capabilities;
3: The Secretary for Security, Deng Bingqiang, is responsible for customs clearance arrangements with personnel and materials.
Clear-hearted people found that among the four directors who attended the meeting, only Chen Zhaoshi was not assigned labor.
What is even more paradoxical is that the "coordination work related to improving testing capabilities" covered by Zeng Guowei is obviously related to the medical profession, so why not hand it over to Chen Zhaoshi?
▼Since the outbreak of the fifth wave of the epidemic, there have been long queues of people at testing stations in various districts of Hong Kong for several days.

Nie Dequan and Yau Tenghua, who belong to Carrie Lam's generals, were not able to attend the meeting
Coincidentally, Lam Cheng's other two favorite generals, the Secretary for the Civil Service Nie Tak-kuen and the Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Yau Tenghua, one is responsible for coordinating the vaccination of the whole territory in Hong Kong, and the other is responsible for promoting the vaccine bubble externally. The main officials of the epidemic, but in this major event of the central government helping Hong Kong to fight the epidemic, both of them have no part in the division of labor. .
The success or failure of the fight against the epidemic has always been closely related to the political path of the rulers.
Under the current global new crown epidemic, Japanese Prime Minister and President of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Yoshihide Suga, had to give up his bid for re-election due to his ineffective anti-epidemic, popular popularity, and no hope of turning over. , sadly resigned and fell from power, ending his 17-month reign and becoming the "shortest-lived government" in Malaysia.
Of course, just like the golden sentence of the late veteran sports news anchor Wu Huangrong, "The wave is round", no one dares to say whether Lin Tai will succeed or fail in this battle against the epidemic before the final moment. Sha Banshan just thinks in reverse thinking. This time, the central government has used a thunderous move to fully mobilize the mainland provinces, cities and ministries to help Hong Kong fight the epidemic. The main reason is to share Lin Tai's worries. I hope that Carrie Lam will hold the mind of "tolerance is great" and actively cooperate with the central government's decision-making. Don't be preoccupied, really "do this job well" and do what she is good at. The team of the Hong Kong government is united. This may be the key to the success or failure of Hong Kong's future fight against the epidemic.
