Li Jiachao officially announced his candidacy for the next chief executive yesterday (9th), and held an online press conference to explain three major directions, namely, aiming at results, strengthening Hong Kong's competitiveness, and laying the cornerstone of Hong Kong's development.
Some campaign officials said that most of the election manifesto was written by Li Jiachao. Although there was no specific platform, it explained Li Jiachao's governance philosophy. Among them, the result-oriented direction was aimed at the government's decision not to do it, "for the sake of doing it." The most important thing is to allow citizens to benefit from the policy.
From the three major directions, it can be predicted that the future government will be quite different from the current government in its approach to doing things and its policies. It will become more focused on results and emphasize teamwork, which is what the Lam administration lacks.
free from vested interests
Since the news of his candidacy came out, the outside world has questioned that Li Jiachao, who was born in the police force, is not familiar with economic and people's livelihood affairs, and also lacks political and business contacts. How can he lead Hong Kong as an international financial center?
Li Jiachao responded to the questioning at the press conference, emphasizing that no one understands everything. "It is impossible to do everything by yourself." Only God is qualified.
He believes that his relationship with the business community is not close, which in turn shows that he can do things without any baggage and ensure that the government handles things fairly and justly.
Successive governments have struggled in governance. One of the reasons is that they are restrained by vested interest groups and become "hands and feet tied". Li Jiachao's lack of business contacts may be an advantage, which means that he is not easily influenced by external pressure. government goals.

The strong team of recruiting talents contrasts with Carrie Lam's single-handedness
At the press conference, Li Jiachao repeatedly mentioned the need to build a strong team, including scholars, experts and enthusiastic people, as well as people with experience, vision and knowledge, to assist the government in governance.
In the past two governments, it was difficult to find talents from outside, but since the electoral system was improved and the implementation of "patriots ruling Hong Kong", it can be seen that people from different walks of life participated in the Legislative Council election, including university scholars, think tank members and professionals. I believe The new government will look for talents to join in different fields.
Li Jiachao's constant emphasis on teamwork also reflects the fact that the Carrie Lam government works alone, which is not beneficial to the government's governance.
Carrie Lam has the reputation of "playing well", no one will deny her diligence, but if she takes care of everything in one hand and shoulders the heavy burden, is this a trait a leader should have?
Li Jiachao emphasized the importance of the team and appropriately delegated the responsibility of research and implementation to each team. This is also an important topic in management.
In fact, Li Jiachao repeatedly emphasized yesterday that the government does not distinguish between "you or me", but to strengthen the team culture of "me and us" to solve problems together.
Corresponding to Xia Baolong's requirements with the result target
Among the three goals proposed by Li Jiachao, "targeting with results" is the most striking.
Does aiming for results mean ignoring procedures?
Li Jiachao pointed out at the press conference that he is a pragmatic person. "I have always believed that in addition to conforming to procedures, we should also aim for results."
It can be expected that after Li Jiachao takes office, he will streamline the procedures in all aspects, such as simplifying land planning, approval procedures, and speeding up the housing construction process, so that citizens can enjoy the benefits of the policy as soon as possible. Repeat again.

Li Jiachao proposed to deal with deep-seated problems, including housing, medical care, youth development, etc., to benefit the society and the public, and let the public truly benefit and share the development dividend.
