What Awaits Hong Kong’s Next Chief Executive? | Insight | China
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 май 2022
- One of Hong Kong’s most divisive Chief Executives, Carrie Lam, has announced that she will not be seeking re-election. She leaves behind a city divided by mass protests and political strife.
In the aftermath of the tightened civil liberties, including 2020’s National Security Law, Hongkongers are leaving the metropolis in record numbers. Meanwhile, stringent COVID measures have exacerbated the exodus, as foreigners also depart the city in droves.
All these troubles await the incoming Chief Executive. Can he or she mend the social divides and repair Hong Kong’s status as vibrant, global hub?

Thank you for including guests from both sides to present a more complete picture of the Hong Kong situation.
Thank CNA for reporting Hong Kong again 🙏
To call Hong Kong's next leader "elected" is a bit of a stretch; it's technically true, but so is Xi or Kim "elected" into their position.
Good call out! It is an appointment.
"Selected" will be a better word. hahaha...
Xi is elected he is elected by the party he did not have the power he has now before he became Chairman. Kim Jong Un and North Korea politics is like old absolute monarchy of the old days.
Or bought and chosen in USA.
It happened I read some books written by some western scholars about ccp. No matter how you deny. Technically, Xi is elected but not in western way. CCP structure is a kind of mixture of traditional Chinese and modern age characteristics. Preciously, it's a meritorious system. All officials at village and town levels are absolutely elected. But starting with county level, official promotions will come from peer elections, annual inspection, and regular evaluations. To reach top positions, officials need to be tested in different positions at different levels for at least 2-3 decades and pass hundreds of evaluations and elections (it's a very brutal process). That's why CCP officials are well seasoned, comparing with officials publicly elected from western system. Given over 80% of Chinese population is related to CCP (e.g., members, members of affiliated orgs, and family members of CCP members), xi is in fact elected. Before he was finally chosen, dozens of his peers who aimed at the top positions failed the elections and evaluations at certain points of time.
What election? John Lee is merely the selected appointee whom the Party agreed with, someone who can be the head of this police state of HK. Having CE's who are on sanction list is a big joke, a slap in the face.
It is exactly the same as Chris patterns, right?
@@aehalbroni195 and all the previous governors
Many Hong Kong people cherished the earlier governors even though they no say, no say at all in deciding who will be their governors. However they have no complain because the earlier governors had beautiful white skin.
@@aehalbroni195 This is what CCP portrays to the Chinese people. That's like telling Shanghai people to support the lockdown policy. The outsiders don't understand what had happened to them and saying they should support the govt. You had NO IDEA what changes HK people experienced and what they fear.
What election? EXACTLY. During the occupation of UK, there was no election at all. To be honest, I found UK extremely hypocrite. On one hand they practiced the same rule, on the other hand they shouted at others for doing what they did.
Great documentary film to brief out what HongKong is facing now , thanks.
Her money is frozen. She can't even access her bank accounts in HK 🇭🇰.
She can access her Chinese bank accounts in Hong Kong.
@Last Chang
She got piles of cash that she can use to buy anything she wants. What have you got Chang? 99 dollars in the bank that you can’t withdraw from ATM?
She, and her family can spend the rest of their lives in Sin Gang, at the concentration camp.
Former British civil servants like Carrie Lam were trained to implement policies, not to formulate them or be their own masters.
She benefitted from the system, but she never gave in any efforts... or curbed anything.... That is why. And she has no visibilities at all, from the wider angles, despite what others have said. And her own son, works for Huawei. Her husband, is an actual Mathematicians... Do you think she cares ? I doubt that she cares. She sits on a pension pot that is in the millions by now... And her administration watched public funding, be eroded, and fizzled, and EMBEZZLED away into other provinces. How she is not even prosecuted, I have no idea ??? HK would've been able to trial a lot of people already as well. But this didn't happen.... Before 1997... that was indeed a regulated time period. Post 1997, a lot of so called "lawyers", ended up not actually protecting the city. You could have the likes of HSBC, embezzled, and taken away foreign pension pots, and foreign money as well, without control ??? And the entire chinese economy went down the pan... ???? This kind of tells you everything that you need to know, don't you ????
In case you are not aware Hong Kong was returned to motherland in 1997. What British civil servant are you on about? Go and read Article 1 of the Basic Laws which states that Hong Kong is an inalienable part of China. FYI inalienable is defined as cannot be separated.
Was there really democracy during British occupation?
Did the wealth disparity really start after 1997, and the British not have anything to do with it?
Will that many "talents" really make up the diaspora?
Will Hong Kong really spiral downwards after this is all over?
Only time will tell!
I think people in China really don't understand anything. It's not only democracy, the court and justice system is independent from the govt. The news media can criticize the govt, which forces the govt to open investigations to find flaws and make improvements, and hold them accountable. Hence, everything is held to a higher standard. That means minimal tofu construction and corruptions. People can trust each other. You don't have to and can't bribe people to get special treatment. In China, written law or notice is one thing, execution is a different story.
24 year ago..............
at 1/2 way point, the neighbour Shenzhen is miles ahead of HK already
My parents were civil servants in top positions dated back way before 97’. They often told us how they were mistreated in promotion as there were expats in the game back then. They also told us the medical system was just like NHS (I had no idea about back then). They were grateful when the sovereignty was returned to PRC in 97’. I was brought up in the colonial times and my feelings was that the whites were more important and more prestige. Now, things are more equal
unfortunately the western media has been brainwashing the world for too long. we have been told everything from Anglo Saxon is good and everything from China is evil.
Indeed. There is a big difference. HK people could not be Governor, Chief Secretary, Attorney General and many of the judges were foreign. Now your own people can have any job including CE. There is a world of improvement. Yet the Hong Kong people dont respect their own politicians. They used to respect the colonialists but scathing to their own people. I find a lot of two faced attitude nowadays. If people think the colonialists were good they should go to UK.
@@abrahamdecruz5128 HK people have been brainwashed by US funded media. HK people generally worship white people. They reap what they sow.
@@abrahamdecruz5128
A lot of Hong Kong people especially the young people are brain-washed by the anti-China / anti-CCP and pro-Western medias. The students are brain washed by their anti-China / anti-CCP teachers. The riot was sponsored by National Endowment of Democracy (NED) of the US / CIA.
It happens in USA too. While most of the Japanese automakers started their American productions in USA, they trend to to put American white or black into the top level administration but there’s own people from Japan, including Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Subaru. The Japanese have more edge in term of Japanese privilege.
Just answer a very simple question, did Hong Kong have democracy and universal suffrage during colonial rule?
I don't need to answer you, you can Google the answer yourself, Mr. Troll.
No, it did not
Yes...they did. Stupid question.
@@eugene7145 No need! Universal suffrage never existed in Hk and many other western coutries. Period.
@@eugene7145 BTW, universal suffrage is never universal at all, sir! You can get fooled and fool people around you, but please respect the truth.
Does universal suffrage exist in Singapore?

Hmmm
Plz say again, the echo is too loud
People are speaking as if there were elections held during the British colonial rule for the position the Mayor/Governor of Hong Kong.
There were none.
yes Hong Kong is a colony just as before
@@sciencecw there is a difference, Hong Kong SAR is part of China.
People in China have absolutely NO IDEA of what was happening in HK. They only heard propaganda from the CCP. It's like a little kid told a PhD of Mathematics that he knows math, like 1+1 = 2.
@@sciencecw think before you speak Chang.
The British kept their promise and left right on time. China did not keep their promise of letting the people govern themselves.
The best days of HK has passed. There’s actually a lot of indications. With the conflict between US and China escalating Hong Kong’s future looks grim. The smart HKer already has foreign passport in their pocket, others who can should leave as soon as they can. Singapore should take this opportunity and grab the resources that’s coming out of HK
I highly doubt so the best days of HK had passed.
Disagree. It really depends on hk policy. If it can keep stable, it will still be the Asian financial center. But the thing is: will UK and US allow it happens? Unlikely based on past history.
I actually think it's best days are ahead.
HK's best days are over because it's becoming more like China. HK lost the all 3 legs, independent justice system from the govt, news media that can criticize the govt, and a govt body that comprised of oppositions. Now many news medias are shut down, the court and govt are influenced by China's policy. If the court or the judge disagree, technically the judge could be arrested for treason. In China, there is no debate, you follow orders. The lockdown in Shanghai is a good example of how brutal and inhumane it can be. There is no exception, and the authorities dealing with the situation have very low morality, that's why some decided to kill the pets while the owner is sent to quarantine. The staff didn't even bother asking his supervisor before he killed the pets, or did he?
@@johdo9953 I somehow agree with your first part. But I do believe quarantine is necessary. People have the rights to make decisions only under conditions that their decisions don't negatively affect others. It's a pandemic. Young people are fine but this virus is life threatening older and weaker ones. If a person who carries virus but doesn't want to be quarantined, his decision may be death penalty to his grandparents. That was the main reason why there was a spike in both infections and deaths after spring break (young people had week long party). This quarantine approach is strict but I think it is necessary for common good. That's the way to avoid next mill of deaths. We all need to take social responsibilities.
Good for her.
Singapore talks about freedom and democracy ?? haha what a joke

Critics are concerned. Well, that is ok.
Mourning the death of a once great city, so sad.
To be honest, people should be more afraid of National Security Law in US then in Hong Kong NSL. Look at how US uses their national security law to punish businesses, individuals or countries.
Well, both sides have them, but i sure am prefer US.

Welp, there's only one "candidate" , the citizens don't get to vote, so it's not an election at all.
Yes just like Singapore where you can elect anyone as long as it is a Lee. Why do you think his own siblings disowned him. Also you can elect anyone as long as the Military Industrial Complex chosen candidate in the Disunited States. Hence the President pretend to exercise power.
We are so grateful to see Dennis kwok during the interview . He was one of my most respectable lawyer in Hong Kong . As he always showed courageous speech and stand firm to against the wicked government in Hong Kong parliament.

The pro HK Govt candidates suffer record losses, so what do they do? Simple, abolish free elections.
These candidates are representing HK of course they have to be pro HK, if they not pro HK then why are they even running? If they want to be pro British or pro American then they should go run in those countries!!
@@Xrey-ek5sh He meant pro HK, not pro China. If there is a real election, HK people want to elect a candidate that best serves their interest, and negotiates with China on certain policies, rather than simply following orders as most mainland Chinese assumed.
@@johdo9953 Yes we all know from what happened in 2019 that, those so called pro HK are funded by western countries to create conflicts between mainland and HK. And most of these so called pro HK activities are now in jail, those western countries didn't do anything to help them out.. they are just like used condoms.

It thrived under British rule because of its own vibrancy. It will not go down.
But it is going down, in fact it’s all down hill for some time now
Because hk is the access point to china. If hk doesn't keep that position, it will certainly go down. So for hkongers, the most important thing is a stable environment, both economically and politically
Obviously it is going down,it is understandable because of conflict inside it's seft.peoples of it don't work together,don't have the same aim.it is still going down.Hongkong now isn't nice destination for all activities
@@cuongtatuan4264 And the conflict came from China. China basically turned a good hands of poker into a huge loss, but it doesn't care, HK is small both in size and population. If they can lock 25 million people within their homes in Shanghai, HK really means little to them.
It thrived because it served as a window/a bridge of China to the world at the time, not because of British rule. (Singapore and many other British colonies were poor AF and underdeveloped under British rule)
Good
Dennis Kwok never understood: One China two systems; he only care about two systems that has to be different from mainland China. He didn’t know One China means Chinese government has the final say, not his American master.
He did know that China has the final say.He is employed by the West to destroy the two systems
State police going after an innocent 90y old cardinal..y’a that’s the new hk

We all must realize as we move into technology and the future. We too must accept change. It will never work if we as people are always trying to get on top of each other. To others stability is more important than richness and wealth.
A poor episode , as you capture Mr Lee as your cover , but your team did not spend enough time to explain We and Us. it is not fully explain what the next HKCE plan.
It is not a good episode to show the different between old CE and New CE. Maybe need to reframe and record it again, thanks
First, there are structural weaknesses such as its size. Singapore is a city-state that can be toured in one day with a bicycle and this affects everything: “here everything is strategic:
there is no distinction between the tactical and the strategic
To now the Taxi driver, you still can be a journalist in HK, just don't be a toxic one.
The best way to keep the norm that built by British is to select, not elect, in this case We still have to give Chinese a Credit right?
New to CNA. 2019 was a riot instead of protest. Global news toned it down. CNA tried to make a non biased documentary 👍🏿. Appreciated. Hope CNA can get more key opinion speakers or people more high up to give different views on things so their vids can sound more unbiased.
To be fair, it started as protests and then quickly turned into riots. but Western media and anti-China media "cut" the latter part and never talked about it.
Funny how these HKers are respecting laws of the land they migrated to and no longer politically active. They could have done the same in their homeland and never had to leave in the first place.
Out here, I get to vote. I get to criticize the government. I get to draw Trudeau as Winnie the Pooh. The government works for me. I am a proud Canadian and I love it not because I was forced to pledge allegiance and raise the stupid national flag every morning, not because I was indoctrinated to love my country, but because it gave me respect, it gave me rights that all humans deserve. Why tf would I come back to HK where I might get jailed for texting wrong.
@@bananian we dont see any HKers joining the parade to support Ukraine or Palestine in London.

Somehow reminded me also how CiXi made wrong decisions that was arrowed for the downfall of a dynasty. Leadership is so important and not anyone suits the job.
Everybody knows this story.... even before I realised what is what. It is now clear...what holds together the city, and why. The media, and the governments, are so obsessed in general... and you have to ask yourself this important question... When there is the police dept in HK, as well as surrounding paramilitaries within HK.... HOW did those riot gears managed to get into the city itself ? IF there was indeed a mainland law, and a HK law... HOW, did those items entered into the HK's premises to begin with ?? WHO did not do their own job properly, and let those items in ? (This should let you answer the questions....) And now, people believes in the media, SO oh, SO much. Watch this next space....
Hong Kong's next Chief Executive will definitely maintain and improve the stability and social harmony. His firm actions and focus on effectiveness and good results are his personal traits ...
LOL
想离开的，好走不送，祝顺利，想留下的，一起努力，共建未来
Take care...🥲
Aiya, now sg seems to be so much better than hk now. Pap isn't that bad now huh.
The civil unrest will be handled by the PLA this time around.
HK was the only city in all of China with high degree of autonomy and freedom and rights. Maybe they should've counted their blessings and not push their luck. Now look what they are left with.
why must you worry? Smart business man wouldn't leave so long there are profit to be make over here.
7:10 while other countries also have national security law, they also have democratic election. If the government over exercised the law to suppress people in the name of national security, the government would be voted out in the next election. That is called balance of power. HK does not have election therefore such law would only be used to suppress people free speech as seen today.
7:28 The issue is the spirit and administration of the law is very different between hk and China , and creates a barrier for both systems .

As the youth and experienced professionals have left mislead by the Tory Govt Special Visa.
Labour Govt in 1971 had to accept 40,000 Ugandan Gurujati the reception center was Southall. Now Southall is an Indian town. The HK people should have a town or city for settlement. The HK people should have a community in the town or city. Such community is crucial to the first generation of settlers. Community is power in local elections. The Council should have Inclusive policies in
While it's up for debate whether you think the visa is misleading or not, the lost of liberty in almost all aspect of life is the reality. A government which ultimate and only goal to keep a selected group in power forever will not tolerate free thinking. Forget about true election, the mind control in China goes into areas of movie making, songs, pop culture, pretty much the goal is to have one unified mindset in the model of whatever the leader at the time.

Speak for yourself siu keung.
Hongkong never had democracy and freedom for all the years during the colonial rule under British. The law then prohibited public demonstration and protest, the law was removed just prior to 97, a "poison pill" for China. The documentary should also take a look at the past colonial rule so that an objective comparison can be made between the British and China rule.
it's hilarious these Chinese people claim how unjust British colonial rule was and then think that justify them imposing the same thing
What mainland Chinese lacks is education. They heard one thing and thought they knew the whole story. In fact, it's a lot more than just democracy and everything is linked one another. For example, court decision is independent from govt, news media is independent from the govt. When news outlet exposes some flaws, there will be discussions, investigations, and improvements follow. There is a follow through process so you don't see tofu projects one after another like you see in China. If you are not in the system, you thought everything is straight forward.
@@johdo9953 if you put that standard to US, they're all mixed up into a cesspool of shxt.....
So China is just jealous the British gets to oppress people and it didn't. *Hey I want to bully my citizens, too!* Like do you people understand what respect means?

so why exactly are people not immigrating to Singapore as much? Is it harder to move, legally? Also, whats the risk that Singapore goes through a similar chaos as HK?
Because Singapore is very selective who they allow into Singapore. Read the history… foreign trouble makers are not and have never been welcome. Those who would cause chaos in Singapore will not only be summarily dealt with by the authorities, they will be set upon by the majority of the citizenry.
The only future hope for Singapore is to blend in Malaysia.

Interesting narrative and choice of interviewees... I wonder how CNA would report when the NED turn their focus on Singapore. It's a matter of time.
That’s not necessary. Singapore is practically occupied and ‘protected’ by the US, with a military base sitting right on Singapore soil.

Singapore is a lapdog of the Disunited States. When the Disunited States say jump Singapore say how high.
as I know, 10 thousand hong kong people moved out of hong kong during 2020 to 2021. a little bit lesser than what I expected. 6 million people are living in hong kong instead.
That will just be temporary, let people explore let people come back. Maybe we will all become what we are more than we are today with the views of the world.
People only came back last time because they trusted the one country two system. Now that it's just one country and China's mismanaging HK's economy. I can't think of a single reason why anyone would go back to a place full of restrictions and oppression. HK is dead to most.
when the Britain colonialists were here, no vote nor freedom were ever given to HK Chinese people. Economically local HK ppl were kept poor and uneducated so the Brits could keep their status as elites.
It's not about the British or the Chinese. It's about the will of the people. Just because the British got to oppress people, doesn't mean the CCP gets to do the same.
Giving Hong Kong the one country, two systems policy is not for you to subvert the country. When you abuse your freedom, the reaction is back on you

How did Hong Kong function without the national security law before? was it full of crime? unstable? or was it full of crime and unstable after the national security law is implemented.
Anyone living in Hong Kong, could tell the national security law does more bad than good, no contest.
When HK was governed by the British, is there any democracy for HKer? How does HK become a global hub at that time? So your true meaning is that the British can govern HK without democracy, but China can’t without democracy?
That's because you are a sheep who loves having their rights stripped. You'll agree to a cavity search just to get into a concert too.

the HK riot in 2019 brought street political movements to a new low:
1. All rioters claimed they love Hong Kong. However they vandalized in public and then fled away to other countries, leaving a mess for other Hongkongers to suffer.
2. All the rioters were masked and had not one ounce of guts to show their face when advocating the their ideaology.
3. And they also beat people with different opinions in public in the name of freedom and democracy. That is very hilarious😂😂😂

It is a step in the right direction for HK and the coming new chief excutive .HK is the motherland of China , peace and harmony under the national security law is the rightful way to go.
The reason for the very early protest was because China wanted to impose a new law in HK. And China is very good at redirecting the attention to the other way around. That is why HK people don't trust China. They are good at manipulating people's thoughts and turning things upside down.

HK should take SG's success as a lesson to change views on "democracy"
As a pro-Govt supporter, pls don't complain on your business downturn! You're well deserved Annie Kwok!
Well said!
Her customers all got arrested or fled lol. What a dummy.
Hong Kong Government had done a reasonable job in the past few years to survive in the midst of the geopolitical contest....attack to Hong Kong will never stop as long as it's still the best destination for overseas investors of Chinese shares. Delisting of Chinese stock from the US exchange would only make things worse moving forward.
national security law prevented further foreign proxy wars in HK

well done CHINE CLEANING TOILET CLEANERS
HK has passed their glory. I still remember last time, almost everything in Asia has centered in HK & Japan. I grew up listening to HK cantonese songs, watching HK movies, TV shows, etc. During that time, the influence of HK is like the influence of South Korea now. Everything went down ever since HK was handed over to PRC.
This is simply not true and is typically anti-china propaganda that spread around to smear and demonize China. The truth is there were many great movies, TV dramas, Cantonese songs, and some of the best Hong Kong movies of all Time like Infernal Affairs (2002), Kung Fu Hustle (2004)...were made after HK was given back to China. (British took HK away from China and colonized it, so it was "given back" not "handed over". You people keep saying it as if it was a gift from the British to China lol.
HK passed its "golden glory" simply because of the lack of new talents from the new generation. Try name me some young HK stars besides those old big superstars...lol
What you just described was because of China at that time had only one window open (Hong Kong) to the world. That was why HK can develop so fast ahead of most of other areas in Asia. When China opened its door, the window is no longer as important as before. In fact, Hongkong is still one of the wealthiest area in Asia. There are still Hongkonger making good music, TV and movies, but they are working in China mainland which is a much bigger market.

Before 1997, British made the most money. For example all buses and trains were imported from Britain. All key positions were held by British. That’s no longer the case after the British were kicked out of Hong Kong in 1997. Money stays with Chinese.
You see the difference now Chang?
Now is gone.
@@tkw3864 Ya but u can't deny the fact that HK's influence on showbiz, tourism, cultures etc have diminished so much ever since then.
