Leung Chun-ying expects talent to move to the stars is a short-term situation, the two places have their own development: there is no need to talk about Singapore

Vice Chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and former chief executive Leung Chun-ying said in a radio program this morning (28th) that he has been to Singapore at least 400 to 500 times and has a certain understanding of the local area. He believes that the transfer of Hong Kong talents and enterprises to Singapore is a short-term situation.

He mentioned that Singapore is a small place with a small population, and it needs to face the problem of how many immigrants to absorb, while avoiding the problem of arousing the local people's resentment.

He said that Singapore has ASEAN as its development hinterland, while Hong Kong has benefited from the country's development. Both places have development opportunities. The most important thing is to do their own things well, act with words and deeds, tell Chinese stories well, and tell the mainland about Hong Kong well. function, "Singapore does not need to be talked about all the time, they have their development opportunities, and we have our development opportunities."

Leung Chun-ying said that Hong Kong and Singapore have their own opportunities and there is no need to compare them frequently.

Epidemic prevention in the Mainland has successfully minimized the cost of lives

Regarding the sudden change in the mainland's epidemic prevention policy, Leung Chun-ying pointed out that Western and Asian critics' comments on the mainland's epidemic methods are not true and unscientific. Only when it is reduced can it be opened, successfully reducing the cost of life and health to a minimum.

When asked about Western countries' misunderstanding of Hong Kong's current situation, Leung Chun-ying said that Americans are the most honest. Last year, Hong Kong held a financial summit, and many people from the United States and other places came to Hong Kong, including the top and second leaders of financial institutions.

He also pointed out that in terms of telling a good Chinese story, the country has reserved a place for Hong Kong. Western countries often target Hong Kong and the mainland, picking bones in eggs, and it takes a little courage to respond.

He mentioned that before and after the 25th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, many international media invited interviews, and many of them responded tit for tat, but he also accepted: "Will you worry about saying something wrong and being taken out of context? Yes! But I'm not so surprised."

Hetao District should be planned by the central government

He mentioned that the country attaches great importance to the development of innovation and technology, and sees that Hong Kong can make contributions. Among them, the "Hong Kong-Shenzhen Innovation and Technology Park" located in the Loop District is an important platform.

He said that to do a good job in the development of Hetao District, in addition to building planning and other hardware, the most important thing is software support. He believes that the planning should be led by the state, not the Guangdong Province, the SAR government or the Science Park, and cooperate with the country in the development of science and technology. Otherwise, Planning is scattered like "scattering sesame seeds".
