Chief Executive Election | Li Jiachao's candidacy mentioned three aspects of work, aiming to solve problems with results

Lee Ka-chao, who resigned as Chief Secretary for Chief Executive, will hold an online press conference at 2:30 pm today (9th) to officially announce his candidacy.

Li Jiachao's campaign page has uploaded a background picture, with a view of the Victoria Harbour building and a ridgeline, with the suspected campaign slogan "Both for Hong Kong".

Li Jiachao said that the next five years will be a critical moment for governance and prosperity. There are three goals in the future. The goal is to solve problems, comprehensively enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness, and lay a solid foundation for Hong Kong's development.

He said he ran for election out of loyalty to the country, love for Hong Kong, and responsibility to the citizens.

Li Jiachao pointed out that the election will invite talents from all walks of life to join the team and play a team spirit. He also said that "only God knows everything first", emphasizing that the government needs to do things and have results.

Regarding the alleged ignorance of the economy and people's livelihood, he emphasized that he has no burdens, will not focus on one aspect, and is more fair and just.

Regarding how to communicate with young people, he pointed out that it is full of challenges, but the first thing is to be sincere. "If you don't try, you can't succeed."

Li Jiachao pointed out that he understands that there are differences and different opinions in Hong Kong society. He emphasized that it is an inevitable phenomenon of a free and open city. It is necessary to communicate and enter the community. Apart from actions, a sincere attitude and starting point are very important. It is the beginning of communication and is a challenge for any government. Some problems can never be solved, but the government should try its best to communicate more, understand the reasons if it cannot be solved, and promise that if elected, it must be the work of the team, not only action, but also heart.

He said that young people certainly have their own opinions, but he hopes that the outside world will look at his work based on the results. Because the results are the most objective, this is the policy policy.

He cited customs clearance as an example, saying that he had reached the gate of customs clearance at the end of last year, but unfortunately Omicron suddenly attacked and made the customs clearance a waste.

He pointed out that during the customs clearance negotiation, there were many differences between the two sides, but in the end there was a consensus, and a connection method was sought under the differences.

Li Jiachao with few contacts in the political and business circles: work without burden

[15:09] When asked if he would extend the current land planning, Li Jiachao said that the good policy should be continued. For example, in the northern metropolitan area, he believes that part of the land and housing problem can be solved.

He said that he hoped to speed up the pace of land and housing in terms of speed and results, and citizens would no longer have to wait, so the time and quantity should be pushed forward.

[15:05] When asked about working in the police force in the past, the scope was relatively single, and he did not have a deep understanding of finance. Li Jiachao said that the chief executive has leadership skills, so that the entire government can do things and become a government that is responsible and beneficial to the citizens. If elected, people with different strengths will be fully considered to join the government, and the spirit of "one plus one is greater than two" will be brought into play. The whole team will do things and bring happiness to the public.

Regarding the accusation that he is not well-connected in the political and business circles, Li Jiachao said that he does not have any burdens and ensures that the government handles things fairly and justly.

[15:00] Li Jiachao responded to the public questioning that he is not familiar with many policy levels, emphasizing that no one understands everything, and believes that only God can meet this requirement.

He argues that the most important thing is to build a strong team. His team will attract scholars, experts and enthusiastic people, and will invite people with experience, vision and knowledge.

He said that everyone in his team will be able to play to their strengths, instead of restraining each other, and will achieve "one plus one is greater than two".

He said that Hong Kong is an international city, and one of his policy goals is to remain competitive, and compared with other places in the world, he will strive to keep Hong Kong as a place that attracts talents to live, work and realize their dreams.

The government will play a leading role in drawing attention to issues of concern to the society, upholding the rule of law, protecting human rights and freedoms, and maintaining the diversity, vitality and inclusiveness of Hong Kong.

Hope that the new government will be "official" and solve problems

[14:56] The reporter asked Li Jiachao if he had contact with central officials before his candidacy. He also said that it was handpicked by the central government and asked Li what he thought.

Li Jiachao responded that, as a SAR official, communicating with different central agencies is beneficial to Hong Kong's interests. He also said that his past communication was explained based on the actual situation of Hong Kong and was based on actual interests. He pointed out that the central government took Hong Kong's opinions very seriously.

Li Jiachao said that he was running for the election based on loyalty to the country, love for Hong Kong, and responsibility for the people.

Li Jiachao hopes that in the future, we can give citizens a government that can do things, a government that is responsible, and a government that can solve problems, so that the citizens can have a sense of achievement.

Li Jiachao was approved by the State Council to be removed from the post of Chief Secretary for Administration.

Take the three directions as the goal

[14:47] Li Jiachao issued a campaign manifesto, pointing out that the next five years will be a critical moment for Hong Kong to go from governance to prosperity. Therefore, he decided to run for election, undertake a historical mission, and hope to see a vibrant, broadly united and socially peaceful Hong Kong.

He said that there are three major directions for future governance. The first is to aim at results, the second is to strengthen competitiveness, and the third is to lay the foundation for Hong Kong's development.

He said that he came from the grassroots level and understood that the government needs to solve the problems of citizens. In the future, the government's philosophy and way of doing things will change, and a culture of solving problems together will be established.

He said that if he is successfully elected, he will actively interact with the public under the principle of patriots ruling Hong Kong, formulate policies that can solve problems, and share development dividends.

He pointed out that Hong Kong should grasp and make good use of its own advantages and specialties to enhance its competitiveness in finance, shipping, and innovation and technology.

He hopes to open up a new chapter for Hong Kong, create a stable and stable environment, and uphold the core value of the rule of law.

Li Jiachao also pointed out that in the next five years, Hong Kong must accelerate its development and stabilize the hard-won stable situation, so that Hong Kong can travel without worries, establish loyalty and take responsibility for the government, uphold the core value of the rule of law, and ensure the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong under the "one country, two systems" principle.

He pointed out that he has worked in the government for more than 40 years, and he knows that no matter how limited a person's ability is, to achieve the above governance, one must rely on all sectors of society. Talent experts take up important positions in the government and other governing bodies, and work together to do a good job in all aspects.

He described this as a new symphony, "I will be the conductor, and every member of the symphony will give full play to their strengths and develop their strengths, creating synergies that one plus one is greater than two, and Hong Kong will play an even more brilliant new movement."

He pointed out that the world has changed drastically, and if we don't advance, we will retreat. "Hong Kong can't be slow or wait." If he is elected successfully, he will lead the government to govern efficiently and vigorously promote one country, two systems.
