The incoming chief executive, Li Jiachao, accepted his appointment letter in Beijing on Monday, one step closer to officially taking office in the Hong Kong government, and new news about the progress of his team formation has also come.

The latest news from the establishment faction is that Chen Guoji, the director of the Chief Executive's Office, has "strong stamina", and the market is bullish as the next Chief Secretary for Administration. Another dark horse, Secretary of the Security Bureau, Deng Bingqiang, may be promoted to the Deputy Secretary for Administration, forming "Chen Dengpei" to assist Li Jiachao; However, since Chen Guoji has already expressed his intention to retire to the relevant parties, it is not known whether he will change his mind and transition to the next term, so there are still variables in the arrangement.


At the secretary level, it is rumored that the Secretary for the Civil Service, Nip Takquan, may once again "pacify" and replace the outgoing Law Chi-kwong as the head of the Labour and Welfare Bureau.


Chen Guoji intends to anneal the center of the line or retain it

For the next government class, the most eye-catching person is the Chief Secretary for Administration, and four candidates were first announced, including Chen Guoji, Deng Bingqiang, Secretary for Administration and Mainland Affairs Tsang Kwok-wai, and the former Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Bureau Director and current Executive Director of Jockey Club Corporate Affairs Tan Zhiyuan.

It is understood that Chan Kwok-kee has privately told politicians earlier that he intends to retire and that the next government will not see his name again, so the market for him to take over as the Secretary for Home Affairs turned down for a while.

However, it has recently been circulated in the establishment circle that the central government intends to retain Chen Guoji, serve for the next government, and serve as the vacated Chief Secretary for Administration.

Chen Guoji, who was born in the disciplined forces, climbed from "red pants" to director at the Immigration Department. He retired in 2016. In 2017, "half upset" joined the Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor government as director of the Chief Executive's Office.

Chen Guoji was born in the disciplined forces. He climbed from "red pants" to director at the Immigration Department. He retired in 2016. In 2017, he joined the Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor government as a "half upset" and served as the director of the Chief Executive's Office. .

After the implementation of the national security law in Hong Kong, Chen Guoji was appointed as the secretary-general of the National Security Committee in 2020. It is widely believed that those who hold this post must be highly trusted by the central government.

Deng Bingqiang is expected to be promoted to the political circles twice a year: the political future is not only the director

Deng Bingqiang is also the dark horse of the Chief Secretary for Administration. Politicians analyzed that Deng Bingqiang's political life is definitely more than the Secretary. However, since he has not been in charge of policy areas other than security before, if he is promoted to Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration first, it will be a warm-up and a springboard. compromise.

According to the reorganization plan of the next government, the rank of Deputy Secretary is higher than that of the Secretary. If Deng Bingqiang assumes a new position, it will be the second promotion within a year after the promotion from the Commissioner of Police to Secretary of Security in June last year.

In fact, Deng Bingqiang has also suddenly turned into a high profile recently. He rarely talks in public about policy issues other than security, such as maternity leave and the cancellation of MPF hedging.

Nie Dequan used to be the director of the Social Welfare Department. Last year, he also adjusted the director.

In addition to the new face on the throne of the Secretary, the Secretary for Accountability may also be "in office".

According to the latest news, the Secretary for the Civil Service, Nip Tak-kuen, may "pacify" and take the helm of the Labour and Welfare Bureau.

Nip Tak-kuen, who was born as an administrative officer, has a lot of roots in social welfare policies in his early years, including serving as the Deputy Secretary-General (Elderly Services) of the Health, Welfare and Food Bureau in 2001, and the Director of Social Welfare in 2009.

Last year, Nie Dequan also "pacified" once, when he was transferred from the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs to the Secretary for the Civil Service.

Mak Meijuan once passed on the Labour and Welfare Bureau political circles pointed out that there is a good chance of staying in office

It was rumored earlier that Mai Meijuan, a trade union with a more positive image and a soft and senior position among the pro-establishment members, is also expected to "change the runway" and become the director of the Labor and Welfare Bureau. Among the members of the Federation of Trade Unions, if the deputy secretary is also a member of the labor sector, it may cause a backlash in the business community.

Sha Banshan inquired about politicians, and a senior official of the establishment revealed that it was known that Li Jiachao had not formally contacted Mai Meijuan to discuss the matter of entering the cabinet. Therefore, unless there was a major turning point in Li Jiachao's cabinet formation, it is estimated that Mai Meijuan will have a greater chance of staying in the parliament.

Mrs. Huang Jinxing is also an architect, and her husband resigns.

The government's cabinet formation is like a feast. Some people are promoted, some people are calm, and some people leave.

According to a person in the establishment, Huang Jinxing intends to retire and will not renew his post. Because his wife Liang Suyun is also an architect, she is good at designing public facilities such as public hospitals. Huang Jinxing has been the director for the past ten years. In the business of government projects, she believes that Huang Jinxing has been the director for ten years, "enough to get rid of the skin", and it is time to leave office.

According to an official from the establishment, Huang Jinxing intends to retire and will not renew his post.

At the same time, it was circulated within the government that Li Jiachao had contacted a well-known person in the environmental protection circle to learn about his intention to join the cabinet, which made the rumor that Huang Jinxing might leave the nest.

There are still variables in the layout of the director of the department, and the whole body is affected

As the saying goes, some people resign and return to their hometowns, and some people miss the night to rush to the field.

The formation of a government cabinet is a "musical chair game" in the political arena, where people enter and who leave. Although the ideas of the Central Committee and Li Jiachao are crucial, they also involve the wishes of the parties involved. Affecting the arrangement of other positions is like arranging troops. I believe that it will not be until mid-June that everyone will have the opportunity to see the entire "Dianjiang map".
