Before the handover, there was a central policy group, and it was reorganized after Lam Cheng took office.
The Central Policy Group was established as early as 1989 and is responsible for public sentiment assessment, policy research, and media response. Successive chief executives have different preferences for the positioning of the Central Policy Group. Taking office in 2012, Shao Shanbo served as the chief consultant of the Central Strategy Group, not only responsible for political work, but also responsible for personnel selection.
However, after Lin Zhengyue took office in 2017, he changed the Central Policy Group to the "Policy Innovation and Coordination Office", responsible for policy research, innovation and inter-departmental coordination, recruiting young people with high salaries, but the results were not good for many years. In the year of the anti-revision turmoil, he was criticized for not grasping public opinion.
According to the news, Li Jiachao intends to re-establish an organization similar to the Central Policy Unit in the new government. The name may change, and it is expected to have words such as policy research or overall planning.
The organization has similar functions to the Central Policy Unit, playing the role of the government's war room, strengthening the staff system, and helping the chief executive and officials grasp public opinion and public sentiment.
News coordinator, special assistant to the Chief Executive's Office to be re-established
The news also pointed out that Li Jiachao is determined to strengthen the connection with the mainland and will recruit talents to serve as senior special assistants of the Chief Executive's Office.

He was a "veteran of the four dynasties" in the chief executive's office. He suddenly left office in May 2018, and the government lost an "internal friend" veteran.
The news pointed out that in the future, Hong Kong needs to actively integrate into the overall development of the country and communicate more closely with the mainland, so that policies can better connect with the mainland. Therefore, it is necessary to find talents to make up for it.
Li Jiachao also plans to reset the news coordinator, formulate news and public relations strategies, and serve as the spokesman for the chief executive. This position has been vacant since Carrie Lam took office, but it may not be mentioned in detail in the political platform.
The source said that the campaign team is still discussing repeatedly, and the platform has been added and deleted. It is expected to be finalized next Monday (25th).
In addition, Li Jiachao said that he intends to establish a Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration and a Deputy Financial Secretary, and to add a Deputy Secretary and Political Assistant to expand the accountability team.
