The only candidate for the chief executive election, Li Jiachao, went to Yau Ma Tei and Jordan today (24th) to visit grassroots households and the charity "New Home Association".


When asked if he planned to meet with the Hong Kong Journalists Association, Li Jiachao pointed out that the possibility of communication would not be possible until at least the other party had handed over all the documents to the government and the procedures were completed, implying that there was no plan to communicate at the moment.

He added that press freedom in Hong Kong "has always existed and does not need to be defended".


If there is no positive response, will the youth be found out of prison?

Li Jiachao said that he knew that the HKJA had some information to provide to the government (referring to the fact that the Labour Department requested the HKJA to submit information).

"After the government has dealt with what they need, there is a possibility (with the HKJA) to have any contact," he said.

When asked to defend the freedom of the press, Li Jiachao retorted that he would not use the word "defense", and everyone is engaged in related work every day: "Press freedom has always existed in Hong Kong, and I don't think the word "defense" needs to be used. , what already exists exists, and I take press freedom very seriously." He reiterated, however, that the conduct and activities of the press must "comply with the principles of law."

As for whether he will meet with young people who were released from prison after participating in the anti-amendment demonstrations, Li Jiachao did not respond positively, but only said that he would continue to meet with different people.
