The Chinese New Year Luncheon of the Legislative Council, which has been canceled for three consecutive years due to the epidemic, will resume on February 17 next year after the restrictions on epidemic prevention have been eased.
At that time, the Chairman of the Legislative Council, Leung Kwan-yen, will host a banquet for the Chief Executive, members of the Executive Council, senior government officials and members of the Legislative Council in the banquet hall of the building. In addition to the luncheon, the Chief Executive and members of the Legislative Council will also take a group photo in the lobby on the ground floor of the Legislative Council.
Leung Kwok-hung presents Leung Chun-ying with a "You Uh Man" pillow and "Honest Bean Paste Bag"
In past Chinese New Year luncheons, the exchanges between pan-democrat councilors and chief executives were the focus of the spotlight. During Leung Chun-ying’s tenure as chief executive, Leung Kwok-hung, a former member of the Legislative Council of the Social Democracy League, gave gifts for many years, including the words “You Erren” The pillow and "honest red bean paste" to snipe Leung Chun-ying's alleged collection of money from Australian companies, and pan-democrat councilors are not invited every year.
Before the anti-amendment movement broke out in 2019, the pan-democrats had refused to attend the Chinese New Year luncheon because they were dissatisfied with the then Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor's administration; in 2018, only five pan-democrat lawmakers attended, including Democratic Party James Tu and Huang Biyun, and Civic Party Guo Rongkeng , Ye Jianyuan and Shao Jiazhen.
There are no pan-democrat members in the new parliament. I believe that the Chinese New Year luncheon will no longer have the previous protest scenes.
The Chinese New Year luncheon, which was boycotted by pan-democrats in the past, was attended by no more than 40 members of parliament; the number of seats in the new parliament has increased to 90, and all of them are from the "establishment faction". The luncheon scene must be quite ruined.
It means that relaxing the psychological threshold of epidemic prevention is to ensure the health of citizens : Consider cost-benefit relaxation rather than giving up relaxation of epidemic prevention︱Cancel vaccine pass and gradually clear customs Members say hospitals have exploded factories to promote diversion
