The list of members of the new Executive Council has been released, and members of all major political parties have joined. Among them, Chen Keqin, the vice chairman of the DAB, has joined the guild for the first time. The number of seats in the guild was reduced from two to one.
In addition to the guilds, the DAB also has fewer key officials. The incoming Deputy Secretary for Justice, Mr Cheung Kwok-kwan, announced yesterday that he will withdraw from the DAB. The new government has only one secretary, Hui Zhengyu, the Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury.
Some members of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong believe that the government will recruit talents from this party to serve as deputy directors and political assistants.

Li Huiqiong, who is also the chairman of the internal committee, affects the layout
The DAB originally had two members of the guild, namely Ye Guoqian and Zhang Guojun. The former left the core of power with the departure of Carrie Lam, and the latter joined the new government as the deputy secretary of the Department of Justice. The party chairman Li Huiqiong was originally reported in the political circle. Returning to the guild, but the final stage was replaced by senior member Chen Keqin.
Some members of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong said that whether Li Huiqiong or Chen Hakin are members of the guild, they are suitable candidates, but because of the division of labor, Li Huiqiong herself is the chairman of the House Committee of the Legislative Council. Just like Chen Jianbo resigned as the chairman of the finance committee, he should resign as chairman of the internal committee.
Minji Zhongren: Just to show that the big party has upper-class opportunities
The person pointed out that some party chairmen are also members of the guild, but the scale is not as large as that of the DAB. Li Huiqiong must take care of party affairs. It is also suitable for the vice-chairman Chen Hacken to join the guild. Commitment, joining Man Kee can enter different important positions, which will help attract talents.
Some members of the Democratic Alliance for Betterment of Hong Kong also pointed out that when Li Huiqiong resigned as a member of the guild in 2016, he explained that he wanted to focus on parliamentary work and party affairs. If he joins again this time, the situation will inevitably be embarrassing. It is also very suitable for Jianlian to join.
Li Huiqiong: The number of members should not be considered
There is only one member of the DAB in the next guild. Does it mean that its influence "doesn't rise but decline"?
Some people in Minji said that they do not want to put pressure on Li Jiachao. If necessary, the DAB is willing to "give up their love". At the same time, they also have to look at the overall situation. I believe that the new government will also recruit talents from this party to serve as deputy secretary and political assistant.
Other members of the DAB believe that FMC can still maintain its status as a "flagship party" at the Legislative Council level, but at the level of government officials and guilds, perhaps the central government hopes that all political parties have the opportunity to participate, "there are no major party details. The number of seats held by each political party is also more even this time.
In response to media enquiries yesterday, Li Huiqiong said that she did not consider the number of members of the DAB and the gains and losses. The most important thing is that the new government finds a suitable team and starts work as soon as possible, so that the public can see results-oriented governance.

Liu Zhaojia: The new team should reflect the "colorful"
Liu Zhaojia, vice-chairman of the National Association for Hong Kong and Macau Studies, pointed out that, as the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office said in a recent statement, the new government team should be "multi-colored", reflecting the great unity and unity of all walks of life in Hong Kong. This principle also applies to the Executive Council. On the one hand, power, and therefore the number of seats a party has in the Legislative Council, is not the main consideration for appointing guild members.
As for Cheung Kwok-kwan, who was mainly cultivated by the DAB to quit the party, some politicians believe that he made the decision out of public perception. Although the Deputy Secretary of Justice is not in charge of prosecution work, the work of the Department of Justice is always related to prosecution. Resigning from the party is more secure, and there are precedents to follow. Leung Oi-shih also quit the DAB before becoming Secretary of Justice.
