Chief Executive Carrie Lam is about to expire at the end of the month. When she attended a commercial TV program today (12th), she mentioned that the central government's adherence to "one country, two systems" has never been out of shape. Misunderstandings lead to the occurrence of many events.

She also revealed that when she was appointed in Beijing five years ago, she had directly admitted to President Xi Jinping that she lacked national security awareness and overall view, but she asked herself that after several years of incidents, she now has a better understanding.


Lam also pointed out that in the process of formulating the "Hong Kong National Security Law" and "improving the electoral system", he provided a lot of opinions to the central government, and most of them were accepted.


Refers to more understanding of the big picture after a 5-year term

Carrie Lam pointed out that the central government's view on "one country, two systems" has never changed, and now it is just "returning to the original intention." As the late CCP leader Deng Xiaoping pointed out, the central government does not care about Hong Kong's affairs. Time must be managed; and a high degree of autonomy and Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong must be dominated by patriots.

Lam pointed out that in the 25 years since its return, Hong Kong has deviated in two aspects, so the central government had to take action.

She believes that in the process of Hong Kong's development, some people lacked understanding of "one country, two systems", or people with ulterior motives misunderstood it.

Lam also revealed: "I remember when I went to accept the appointment five years ago, I really wanted to confess to Chairman (Xi) that I had been trained in this government system and had rich administrative experience, but it's up to you to tell me. Political awareness, national security awareness, and overall situation perspective, you can see geopolitics and Hong Kong's positioning role, which is really a big difference, but after 5 years, more or less, this is what I have experienced. "

Message to the next government not afraid of struggle

She admitted that Hong Kong is an international city and could easily become a gap in national security. Therefore, she also said that the next officials must have an overall view and have a spirit of not being afraid of struggle. She pointed out that she is not a person who likes to fight, but she faces some malicious criticism from foreign forces. , slandering the country, as a SAR official should have the courage to fight and take appropriate actions.

Emphasize that during the two major measures of the central government, opinions were reported to the central government

In the past two years, the central government has implemented the National Security Law and revised the selection system. When discussing the "dual responsibility system" of the chief executive, Carrie Lam revealed the mental process of communicating with the central government. Due to historical factors, Hong Kong has a different system and a lot of life in the mainland. The methods are different, so the chief executive has to take this role in the middle. "If the central government asks me to do what I do, I will do what, then it will only be unilaterally responsible." But this is not the case. The central government has always been far away from Hong Kong, even if there is a For agencies stationed in Hong Kong, the Chief Executive is the one who knows the real situation in Hong Kong best. It must be through the Chief Executive that the most realistic situation in Hong Kong is reflected, and opinions that are in the interests of Hong Kong residents are reflected to the central government.

Carrie Lam pointed out that during her tenure, she was responsible to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and expressed her opinions to the central government to win the support of the central government. As a result, I can’t see the process.” For example, during the drafting of the National Security Law, she and the Secretary for Justice and the then Secretary for Security had expressed many opinions to the central government.

"I have also said it publicly, and I am really grateful that most of the central authorities have accepted our opinions."

In addition, in the process of revising the electoral system, "patriots ruling Hong Kong" is only a foundation. More about the method of system design, as the chief executive, she also expressed many opinions to the central government, and many of them were accepted. Therefore, some people feel dissatisfied and think that As the chief executive, she did not fight for the central government, because everyone could not see the process of fighting for it.

Carrie Lam: After leaving office, "what time do you want to go to sleep?" In the past five years, the relationship with family members has become closer, and the mainland will be cleared first?

Carrie Lam: If it's fast, you can stick to it, otherwise you need to assess the international people's endurance
