Entering June, the current Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor government has entered the countdown, the chief executive-designate Lee Ka-chao has formed a cabinet and turned to the straight road, and the outline of the next governance team has begun to loom. The second-ranked Chief Secretary for Administration, and the Financial Secretary Chen Maobo and the Justice Secretary Zheng Ruohua are also rumored to be re-elected, and the next three secretaries are likely to be finalized!
As for the position of the new Deputy Secretary, the Secretary for Development, Mr Wong Wai-lun, is regarded as a very popular Deputy Secretary of the Financial Secretary. Deng Bingqiang, the Secretary for Security, who was once rumored to be the dark horse of the Deputy Secretary of the Chief Secretary for Administration, has a variable promotion. The Secretaries are all from the disciplined services, and the Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration should not come from the same system.
If this statement is true, the AO Party may be able to hold a hot fried dumpling in cold hands, and there is still much room to play in the next government.

The heads of 9 bureaus and 5 bureaus under the next Chief Secretary for Administration are rumored to be leaving office or are vacant
Sha Banshan has not received any gossip, but only based on basic logic. Although the AO Party has lost its former dominant position in the next government, it still has a broad space to exert itself.
Take the candidate for the Deputy Secretary for Administration as an example. If, as rumored, they are not from the security system officials, the administrative officer system will become a big hit.
Looking around the next three bureaus and fifteen bureaus, there are nine policy bureaux under the Secretary for Home Affairs, excluding the Secretary for Security Tang Ping-keung, the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Zeng Kwok-wai (also a military attache), the Secretary for Labour and Welfare Law Chi-kwong, and the Food Chen Zhaoshi, the director of the Health Bureau (the next term will be called the Medical and Health Bureau), is rumored to not be re-elected. The posts of the Director of the Home Affairs and Youth Affairs Bureau and the newly established Culture, Sports and Tourism Bureau are vacant. The Environment Bureau (the next term will be called the Environment and Ecology Bureau) Secretary Wong Kam-sing also said that he intends to leave the hot kitchen. The only people left are the Secretary for the Civil Service, Nie Tak-kuen, and the Secretary for Education, Yang Yunxiong, both of whom are from the political grades.
If it is said that Li Jiachao and Chen Guoji are both "half-way monks" from the security field, they are the first and second positions in the Hong Kong government. It is natural to become the "only two" candidate.

Nie Dequan entered the government early and has an innate advantage in the AO system
Looking through the information, Yang Runxiong is one year older than Nie Dequan, but Nie Dequan joined the government earlier and was admitted to the political grade in 1986, 6 years earlier than Yang.
In terms of the tradition of seniority ranking in the government system, Nie Dequan has a great "innate advantage" in being promoted to the Deputy Secretary for Administration. Coupled with the popularity of the political circle, he was recommended by the Chief Executive Carrie Lam to the central government. Nie is the only three senior members in the current accountability team. It is not surprising that one of the government officials has taken his career to a higher level.
No wonder, Lin Zhengyue-ngor has rarely publicly praised Deng Bingqiang twice a few days ago. Among them, when he delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the Sha Tau Kok Pier, he even took the initiative to applaud, cheering and cheering the people present to greet Deng Bingqiang. The outside world speculated that this was because Lin Zheng knew. "Love General" Nie Dequan is expected to be promoted to Deputy Director-General, so he deliberately threw an olive branch to Deng Bingqiang, who was "overwhelmed by the heat", to appease him.
Yang Runxiong was appointed by the Investment Review Committee to pass the central trust test
However, as the late veteran sports news anchor Wu Huangrong famously said: waves are round.
World events are often unpredictable, especially at the moment when the central government employs people often by surprise. Who would have thought last year that Li Jiachao would be promoted to Chief Secretary for Administration, and later become the Hong Kong government's Ah Yi?
Therefore, no one dares to say who the Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration will be.
Some politicians especially reminded Sha Banshan that after Li Jiachao resigned to run for chief executive a month ago, the central government appointed Yang Runxiong to fill the vacant vacancy of the candidacy review committee (Financial Secretary Chen Maobo filled the chairman of the QC).
The only other official members of the Council are the Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Tsang Kwok-wai, and the Secretary for Security, Deng Bingqiang, and Yang Yunxiong. This reflects that they have passed the central trust test, and their level of trust is even higher than that of other accountability secretaries. .

Of course, the characteristic of a political officer is generalist training, whether it is Nie Dequan or Yang Runxiong, in addition to being promoted to the Deputy Secretary of the Administrative Secretary, there are other possibilities for transfer.
Therefore, there are rumors in the political circle that Nie Takquan, who was the director of the Social Welfare Department, is also one of the candidates to be the secretary of the Bureau of Labor and Welfare. The post of director of the Education Bureau was handed over to deputy director Cai Ruolian.
There is a lot of speculation about the candidates for the next accountability team. First, other than the candidates for the third division and individual directors, most of the other positions are still kept secret. Second, under the principle of AO Tongcai, Nie Dequan and Yang Runxiong can "take positions." "The possibilities are numerous and easy to imagine.
But no matter what, Nie Dequan, Yang Runxiong, and Huang Weilun are all political officials. No matter who gets promoted, whoever stays in position, and whoever stays in place, the "AO Party" will still "have fun" in the next government. After all, the SAR government is a huge and complex administrative machine, and skilled craftsmen still have their existence value to a certain extent.

Zeng Guowei's career in Beijing for many years should not be underestimated
Speaking of the two accountability chiefs from the security system, Deng Bingqiang and Zeng Guowei, some sources close to Beijing have analyzed that the former is very popular in the establishment circle, while the latter has been in Beijing for many years, and his career should not be underestimated. Sooner or later, the future will depend on the performance and luck of the two.
