The new government will announce the list of members of the Executive Council as soon as today (22nd). It is rumored that the chairman of the New Democratic Party, Ye Liu Shuyi, who will replace Chen Zhisi as the convener, said on the Xincheng Radio program that it must be announced by the government. Well, there are various aspects of experience.
She pointed out that she is very happy to continue explaining government policies and accepting interviews with foreign media in the future.
The new team is very hardworking: one of the best in recent years
Ye Liu pointed out that the specific list should be left for the government to announce, and cannot be disclosed at this stage, but in principle the convener of the meeting needs to have extensive experience and be the chief adviser of the government. The Chief Executive in Council has statutory power, which individual members do not have. It is collective responsibility, in which the convener has to do more, such as explaining government policies at the invitation of the Chief Executive, and taking the lead in reading policy documents.
At present, it is rumored that in addition to Ye Liu Shuyi, the pro-establishment "squad leader" Liao Changjiang, the vice chairman of the Pakatan Harapan, Lin Jianfeng, the leader of the Liberal Party, Zhang Yuren, and the chairman of the Heung Yee Kuk, Liu Yeqiang, the new members include the Legislative Council member of the insurance industry, Chen Jianbo, the industrialist. The chairman of the association, Wu Qiubei, and the former director of the Food and Health Bureau, Ko Wing-man, and DAB member Chen Hak-kin are also widely rumored to join the guild.
Ye Liu believes that this lineup has "old and new", and the running-in period will not be too long. Everyone has rich social work experience, and even "newcomers" are familiar with government affairs, such as Gao Yongwen.
She also described the new government team as one of the best in recent years, very practical, and many citizens were pleasantly surprised.
In the past, the electoral democracy consisted of many parliaments, but it became more and more chaotic
Ye Liu said that in the future, he is very willing to continue to help explain Hong Kong policy to the outside world. He accepts interviews from foreign media. The current guild convener Chen Zhisi and member Tang Jiahua have done these tasks from time to time in the past, and guild members have different divisions of labor: "Just like the linked exchange rate, Of course, the current session is asking Ren Zhi just to ask me."
Ye Liu pointed out that there are two things that have been the most profound experience in the 25 years since the return. One was, of course, the campaign to promote Article 23 legislation in 2003 when he was the Secretary for Security, and the other was the social riots in 2019.
After the incident in 2019, the National Security Law of the Central Government ended the chaos in Hong Kong and revised the electoral system, describing that in the past, there were many members of the electoral system, but the Legislative Council became more and more chaotic.
She hopes that in the future, the government will do more work in cultivating national identity, especially in education, so that students can understand the country's history and culture from an early age. She particularly regrets the phenomenon of "de-sinicization" of the current new high school system. Only about 5,000 people study Chinese history. , There are only less than 2,000 Chinese literature students, and students have little understanding of their own country's culture, so it is naturally difficult to talk about patriotism.
Ye Liu, the convener of the guild, said that he would not resist: if invited, he would like to accept the praise of the new team. In recent years, Chen Zhisi described the new team as "practical type". List to be announced as soon as Wednesday July 5 first meeting
