Leung Chun-ying "stable" took about two hours
Normally, the "Policy Address" is the first meeting of the Legislative Council after the summer recess (usually in October). Time is right.
Since the fifth term of the Legislative Council (2012 to 2016), the entire session of the Legislative Council can be relived through online broadcasting, so the time for the policy address to be read out can be fully counted.
During Leung Chun-ying's tenure, due to his tense relationship with the pro-democracy faction, every time he came to the Legislative Council to read the "Policy Address", he would always encounter fierce protests, so the start was often delayed.
Looking at his five-year policy address, the statistics are as follows (it should be noted that in 2015, 2016, and 2017, three Leung Chun-ying "policy addresses" introduced intermission time, and the relevant time will be subtracted from this statistics. ):
2013: 130 minutes (full text about 28,000 words)
2014: 117 minutes (full text about 34,000 words)
2015: 108 minutes (full text about 31,000 words)
2016: 126 minutes (full text about 26,000 words)
2017: 128 minutes (full text about 34,000 words)
Lam Cheng's time is long or short, and he will not be able to read it in the Legislative Council in 2019
The length of Lam's "Policy Address" during her tenure was relatively "erratic", because the original texts of her first two "Policy Addresses" were quite long (51,000 words in 2017 and 61,000 words in 2018), so she read them out. It's an abbreviated version, only the key points are mentioned.
In the 2019 Policy Address, due to the turmoil of amendments to the bill, Carrie Lam encountered fierce protests from the democrats when she read it, and she had to be read out by video instead.
The above-mentioned three "policy addresses" were all less than one hour long.
But in 2020 and 2021, when Carrie Lam read the "Policy Address", he read the full text, and it took more than two hours on both occasions.
2017: 40 minutes (full text about 51,000 words, read-only brief version)
2018: 40 minutes (full text about 61,000 words, read-only brief version)
2019: 51 minutes (full text about 11,000 words)
2020: 137 minutes (full text about 34,000 words)
2021: 137 minutes (full text about 34,000 words)
