Chief Executive Li Jiachao and the new governance team have just completed their 100th day in office today (8th).
It is up to Li Jiachao to decide to run for election. After taking office, he attends various activities. The public always hears words such as "opening a new chapter together", "goal with results" and "seeking happiness for the people". The determination to "solve a problem a day" is a grand plan.
Since Li Jiachao took office, what policies has the government introduced, and can it solve the problems of the public as he said, "can do things, do things"?
In response to the epidemic, the epidemic prevention policy has also changed repeatedly
Looking back over the past three months, Li Jiachao has mainly launched policies on epidemic prevention, city appearance, and youth affairs.
Among them, the "main dish" is the anti-epidemic policy.
Less than a week after Li Jiachao took office, he overturned some of the anti-epidemic policies left over by the previous government, such as announcing the suspension of the flight circuit breaker mechanism, requiring arrivals to undergo nucleic acid testing on the third day of quarantine, and quickly responding to the needs of the tourism industry. Good reviews.
Since then, the epidemic in Hong Kong has been repeated, and the government has adjusted its epidemic prevention and quarantine policies many times, including requiring confirmed infected persons who are quarantined at home to wear electronic wristbands, and high-risk persons living with them must stay in isolation facilities.
The government later monitored the data and found that the rate of imported confirmed cases was lower than that of local confirmed cases, so it announced on August 8 that it would relax the quarantine arrangement for those arriving in Hong Kong to "3+4", that is, three days of hotel isolation and four days of home medical surveillance.
In line with the relaxation of quarantine, the government has simultaneously introduced "red and yellow codes" to identify and limit high-risk individuals.
"3+4" may be a "big step" for Hong Kong, but it is still only a "small step" at the international level.
Singapore, Hong Kong's neighboring competitor, has fully opened its doors to vaccinated travelers as early as April. After entering the country, they only need to show proof of completion of vaccination, and they can return to "freedom" immediately.
Although the local chamber of commerce welcomes the "3+4", it has repeatedly urged the government to further loosen the quarantine measures to attract overseas tourists to Hong Kong. Tang Yingnian, a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, even asserted: "If we rely on internal circulation, we are actually 'internal bleeding'". .
Due to the quarantine arrangement, many sports events in Hong Kong could not see hope, and were eventually forced to be cancelled, postponed, and held in other places.
The industry has begun to be dissatisfied with the relatively strict quarantine policy, hoping that the government will loosen the restrictions again to facilitate more overseas tourists to come to Hong Kong and enable the economy to achieve real recovery.
In response to the request, the government once again relaxed the number of quarantine days on arrival after reviewing the data. Starting from September 26, the "3+4" isolation plan was changed to "0+3", that is, only three days of home self-monitoring was required after entry, and Passengers are not required to provide a nucleic acid test certificate before boarding.
Although the degree of loosening of the "0+3" has surprised people from all walks of life, many experts and people in the industry worry that the policy is still lagging behind other countries, making it difficult to attract overseas tourists. The outflow of people's consumption power may have a negative effect on the local economy, so the voices calling for a comprehensive relaxation to "0+0" continue.
Negotiations with the mainland on reverse isolation have not yielded results
The government announced in early September that it would set up a special class headed by the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-kee, to discuss with the mainland the details of the implementation of "reverse isolation", hoping to increase the number of Hong Kong people going north. In addition, it is also proposed to allocate isolation facilities with separate rooms in urban areas to increase the number of relevant places.
However, after more than a month, the "reverse quarantine" measures have not been officially announced.
Although the new government has been in office for more than three months, it has gradually relaxed the epidemic prevention policy to respond to the needs of the public and the industry.
However, the government has not handed over the road map and timetable for epidemic prevention, and the business community has also expressed their opinions on this.
Fight against hygiene black spot Zhuo Yongxing has been in the area for many times
When Li Jiachao attended the Legislative Council Q&A for the first time after taking office, he proposed to set up four working groups, led by secretary-level officials, to deal with intergenerational poverty, land and housing supply, public housing projects and co-ordination of district affairs.
The "District Matters Coordination Working Group" chaired by the Deputy Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Cheuk Wing-hing, came out on top and took the lead in launching the "Hong Kong New Cityscape" Hong Kong-wide clean-up campaign.
The plan is divided into two phases. The first phase starts in mid-August and lasts for three months. The goal is to clear more than 600 black spots, and the city appearance improvement action will be launched in October.
Although Zhuo Yongxing promised that the team will clarify the leading departments, establish a standard operating model, and assign work to various departments to continue to implement them in the region, but the hygiene black spots are "old, big and difficult problems". However, after the exercise, the old ways have returned, so many members are worried that the plan will be "big thunder and little rain", and urged the government to set performance indicators (KPI), straighten out the responsibilities of various departments, and put an end to "unloading".
The plan has been launched for about two months, and the effect is still unknown. Even if the cleaning effect is immediate, it is believed that the follow-up must rely on the continuous supervision and law enforcement of the relevant departments before the problem can be completely solved. impression.
Mentorship Program Poverty Alleviation Recruitment Progress is Ideal
In addition, the registration deadline for the mentoring program "Co-creation "Teen", led by the Chief Secretary for Administration, Mr Chan Kwok-kee, to address intergenerational poverty is 28 September.
According to the interests, hobbies, and ideal careers of 2,000 junior high school students, the plan will match them with suitable teachers, and distribute 10,000 yuan of financial support in two installments.
The program lasts for one year, and participating students are required to attend approximately 9 sessions, including orientation activities, basic training (compulsory and elective activities), group activities (minimum 3 sessions), and graduation ceremonies.
Earlier, a Legislative Council committee discussed the relevant plan, and the Secretary for Labour and Welfare, Sun Yuk-han, revealed that the recruitment progress was satisfactory. In addition, she also shared that she had encountered a "black body" student when she was a university tutor in the past: "I know even one centimeter (centimeter) in height, I can't bear it, let's be honest, I don't have time for it, I'm a mentor (friend). Teacher), not nanny (nanny).”
Although Li Jiachao has just been in office for 100 days, he has already faced many unexpected incidents, such as Anderson's balance scale, Mirror concert screen falling, "selling piglets" in Southeast Asia, etc. Although some incidents are still under investigation, the government has promised We will review and introduce corresponding policies to plug loopholes and prevent similar incidents from happening.
Epidemic prevention, regional cleaning and youth affairs are the most eye-catching projects after Li Jiachao took office.
The first "Policy Address" during his tenure will be released on the 19th of this month. The outside world believes that stimulating the economy and land and housing policies will be the focus.
The "Land and Housing Supply Coordination Group" and "Public Housing Project Action Working Group" submitted the "100-day Report" yesterday, in which they provided suggestions on "increasing volume, speed, efficiency and quality". The policy has set more than 100 indicators, which will be explained in detail in the "Policy Address".
