Xi Jinping attended the July 1st celebration without mentioning "going to Hong Kong and inspecting" political circles expect that there will be variables in Hong Kong

Xinhua News Agency announced this morning (25th) that Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, will attend the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the return of Hong Kong and the inauguration of the sixth government, but did not mention whether Xi Jinping will come to Hong Kong in person.

Compared to five years ago, Xinhua News Agency announced that Xi Jinping attended the 20th anniversary of the return of the motherland, clearly mentioning Xi Jinping's arrival and departure days in Hong Kong, and that he would visit the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

Tan Yaozong, member of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, said that whether Xi Jinping will come to Hong Kong in person must be left to the central government to discuss with the Hong Kong government, but he believes that Xi Jinping's promise to "attend" has fully demonstrated the importance, care and support for the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return.

Some Beijing political observers analyzed that the official press release did not mention "going to Hong Kong" or "inspection". Due to the severe epidemic situation in Hong Kong and the fact that some officials were recruited, the relevant statement reflects that there are variables in the leader's personal visit to Hong Kong.

Wait and see the epidemic before deciding whether to come to Hong Kong in person?

Tan: Everyone understands this.

Ye Liu Shuyi, the convener-designate of the Executive Council and the chairman of the New Democracy Party, believes that Xi Jinping will come to Hong Kong to attend the ceremony in person.

Tang Jiahua, who will remain a member of the guild, believes that due to the repeated epidemics in Hong Kong, it is difficult to speculate whether Xi Jinping will come to Hong Kong in person or by video. He emphasized that the outside world expects Xi Jinping to come to Hong Kong to learn more about Hong Kong, visit medical and I&T facilities, and even contact citizens.

Tan Yaozong was asked whether it would be a more appropriate arrangement for Xi Jinping to take a special high-speed train to Hong Kong and return to and from Hong Kong on the same day. He pointed out that it was inconvenient to speculate.

At the same time, it is reported that the state leaders and officials participating in the ceremony will come to Hong Kong via the West Kowloon Terminal of the High Speed ​​Rail, and then go to the exhibition to participate in other itineraries and meet with Hong Kong officials, including the new Chief Executive and his team.

Preliminary news said that it is possible to go back and forth on the same day; or to arrive in Hong Kong on June 29 and leave on July 1, both options are possible for the time being.

Tan Yaozong was asked if he only indicated "attendance", whether it meant that he still had to wait and see the epidemic before deciding whether to come to Hong Kong in person. He said, "Everyone can understand this."
