The nomination period for Chief Executive Election has started recently, and the “chosen one” is now the talk of the town. John Lee announced on Wednesday that he had submitted his resignation as Hong Kong’s chief secretary and planned to run for the chief executive if the Central People’s Government accepted his notice, and so far Beijing has approved this resignation. Mr. Lee has always been not only a great mentor but also a kind friend to me, and thus here I hope all turns out well for him.
In a national security law forum last July, Mr. Xia Baolong, vice-chairman of the National Committee of CPPCC and director of the State Council’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, raised “five demands” under the principle of “staunch patriots administering the city”: implementing the “one country, two systems” principle fully and faithfully; solving conflicts facing development; doing practical work for the people; a charisma disposition which can unite sectors; and a sense of responsibility. In accordance with these standards, I opine that Mr. Lee is absolutely qualified for the role of Chief Executive of HKSAR.I myself, a youth locally born and bred in Hong Kong, genuinely wish that the new CE could help young citizens reach their full potential.
The Greater Bay Area has a population of 86 million, and the combined GDP of this region is almost the same as the entire nation of Australia. As a vital part of the country’s 14th Five-Year Plan (2021-2025), this economic area provides expandable opportunities of traditional Chinese medicine, financial services, innovative technologies, cultural and creative industries, etc. for entrepreneurs and talents on both sides of the boundary. Hong Kong youths who intend to start businesses or pursue careers in mainland cities of GBA cannot be more welcomed by the central and local governments, and the new Hong Kong government should constructively respond by encouraging more young people to step out of their comfort zone and whiny vicious circle, and guide them through the darkest hour after handover with more efficient policy.
Hong Kong is still the most open and international city in GBA with its unique advantages, regulatorily and geographically. Our young people must bear a broad vision to aim higher, and they deserve better.
