Hong Kong is an amazing city, I wish John Lee all the best in success to help the city be healthy, protect civil rights and religious freedom, and just Be Happy ! :-)
I just don't understand what the point of Hong Kong is if the Mainland just wants Hong Kong to be like the mainland except in commercial matters and the flow of money.
China has no interest in making Hong Kong "like the mainland". They cannot, however, allow Hong Kong to have no national security legislation, which allows the people there to take money from foreign countries and destroy the city for foreign interests. The Basic Law always required Hong Kong to enact national security legislation, and the mainland waited patiently for 23 years for the Hong Kong government to fulfill their constitutional duty, but they never did. Now Hong Kong is just like any other territory in the world, as it has national security legislation.
Housing problem is not because lack of houses, its Hong Kong have been a bubble created by the British which unreasonably attracted and cramped as much people in one place deemed possible. Therefore you cannot endlessly build houses on limited lands. The long term solution for Hong Kong housing problem is to cool down Hong Kong economy, abolish the 2 systems and return to CCP 1 system. And disperse people to the mainland. As the Hukou system would have never allowed for Hong Kong to be overcrowded. Just 30 minutes across the border to Shenzhen there are plenty of houses, why cramp yourself up in such a small city as Hong Kong? Are the streets of Hong Kong filled with gold or something, I mean come on people!
That's because the anti-china rhetoric had been ceafted inside their heads since they were young..made them thinking China is more backward than them..only those cross the ocean and see for themselves that China had evolved into what they dreamed, will ditch the "self hatred" mindset
Why does Hong Kong commemorate Tiananmen which doesn't concern them because at that time Hong Kong was British colonial. However why doesn't Hong Kong commemorate all the fallen ancestors who fought against British aggression during the 0pium Wars? Which do concern them because thats the reason why Hong Kong got seperated in the first place and all the trouble now that comes with it. Some even waving the British colonial flag proudly, their ancestors in their graves would twist and turn in agony if they knew about it. Till this day U.K. havent officially apologized, the Royal Family legacy who constituted these atrocities still exist today. CCP have kept their promise to share the wealth with their people years after that crackdown. So if you can forgive the British, then you also can forgive the CCP
Tian Ann Men had already been relived and re-enacted in HK during the 2019-2020 riots. Both Tien Ann Men and HK riots 2019-2020 were works of Western intervention using their ideology of democracy and freedom, which they themselves have failed to put into effective practice. Frankly, there have been lots of Tien Ann Men incidents recurring in the West with a lot of police brutality meted on the protestors. Why do you want to recall Tien Ann Men when you can read about these similar events happening in the West every now and then? We can learn from the west what has worked, and more so what has failed to work with their brand of freedom and democracy.
@@kashe747 by the way you ask why do we remember tianmen massacre? because we want people like you to look at the fact ccp killed people, ccp is an evil force and then realise supporting an evil force is evil

Can you imagine housing is a serious problem in land rich countries like Australia, Great Britain, and USA? Hong Kong politicians should be able to do better than these countries. Aim to solve HK housing problem in 10 years time.
One country one non-democracy...Been living in the mainland, yes huge economical growth, one generation, can t believe it. Democracy? To be honest: to most people it doesn t seem to matter, sad to say.
Ask people from Middle East if they are happy that some of them are free from their worst dictators. That's what happens when you are an idealist that doesn't think about the future after overthrowing dictators.
For lots of asian, that is democracy..government work for the people is democracy. Government work base on majority people's interest is democracy.. "Freedom" to yell at presidents, to swear at politicians isn't freedom and democracy but *evidence of failing government, evidence of foolish government* Westerners trap with ideology only, without grasp the essence of democracy. And thinking that swearing at your leaders are democracy and freedom. Ideology give you no food, ideology give you no security, ideology give you nothing, except *false hope!* 😅😅😅

I respect Yondon. He loves peace and harmony, and he is not a trouble maker. There were so many journalists from HK and the West who were trouble makers inciting so much hate and anger among the Hong Kong people during the riots in 2019-2022 with their news coverage. Yonder was among the few media journalists in HK with journalistic ethics calling for rational thinking , peace and harmony during those times in 2019-2020 when negative group think phenomenon was wrecking HK like a disease. Hong Kong is a part of China, that is a non-issue, and Hong Kong will gradually shed off the false British and western influence, and nurture its own identity like Shanghai, Chengdu, Qingdao, etc.
He has the right to his own opinion and presents it as such. Unlike the "pro-protest" news outlets which put a microscope on police conduct shortcomings, while wholesale ignoring the transgressions of the riots and their assault on the public, and then presenting all of that as fact.
@@tonyl7337not so convincing when the US claimed to give 'freedom' and 'liberty' to Iraqis when ≥2 millions Iraqi men,women children died If you think prosecution and use of tear gases is 'oppression',what do you make of how US police arrested a protestor who was reciting the Bible in a rally? Freedom of religion is in the US Constitution you know
Improve HK electoral system by ensuring only patriots administer HK, reduce directly elected district council seats and enforce national security law to enhance HK stability and prosperity and its district administration.
John Lee sounds like a reasonable leader, cannot criticize him for that, he talked frankly, didn't shy away from sensitive subjects, all the points he made are reasonable with consideration to all kinds of challenges.
He is not the most charismatic speaker (Lhatoo is very charismatic), but he tries to convey important details even in a language that is not his forte.
HKSAR CE John Lee is an insightful and articulate leader. He has been largely credited for quelling the 2019 protests as HK's security tsar and restoring law & order and normalcy to the territory, enabling business to thrive. His 35-years' career in law enforcement may have helped. However, he needs to redouble efforts to tackle housing woes more urgently, ease the severe manpower crunch across all sectors and industries, particularly, construction and transportation as priorities through labour importation and find new engines of growth to revitalise and put the HK economy on a steady and firm path to recovery after COVID-19 by capitalising on its unique advantages vis-a-vis Mainland cities in re-establishing itself as a financial and business hub through leveraging extensive international cooperation with counterparts whilst integrating better with the Mainland's overall economic development. Housing is key as it narrows the rich-poor divide that may lead to social unrest.
HK's Four Key Strategies for Economic Development: 1. [Housing] Housing is a perennial problem spanning many years. Drastic and bold action is needed to solve the housing crisis. [Strategy] Build reasonably sized public housing flats for all HK residents who are unable to afford private property (minimum occupation period required to prevent speculation in resale market) in a 2-phase approach (first phase catering to those who need housing urgently) within 5 years, using prefabricated units and putting in place supporting infrastructure and facilities (key recommendation). 2. [Talent & Enterprise] The global competition for talent, especially, top talent is stiff. Talent is the lifeblood of every economy. [Strategy] Attract top talent and enterprises with special work visas, residency, tax concessions and co-investment funding schemes. 3. [Cross-Border Collaborations] The Greater Bay Area (GBA) is a hive of opportunity, talent, innovation and enterprise. HK will do well by integrating itself more closely with the Motherland's economic development. [Strategy] Deepen HK's business links with Guangzhou and notably, Shenzhen to position itself as a financial and business hub attracting talent, innovation, enterprise and capital. 4. [Regional Cooperation & Internationalisation] To further internationalise HK as a financial and business hub, its unique advantages need to be maximised and Southeast Asia (SEA) and the Middle East leveraged through extensive cooperation with counterparts. [Strategy] Strengthen HK's network of business linkages and relationships with ASEAN and Gulf states to entrench itself as a leading international financial centre, specialising in cross-border transactions and financing. These outreach efforts should dovetail with the Motherland's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for synergies and economic spinoffs. Public consultation and communications should be adhered to wherever necessary to enhance policy delivery and effectiveness in engendering trust and buy-in. This is particularly true for hot button issues like housing and talent that could potentially cause widespread discontent and social unrest. More communication is needed at strategic points in time on these fronts.
Glad to see Hong Kong enjoy peace and harmony. The riots of 2019 was a pain, and people of Hong Kong are gradually healing from the wounds of the 2019 riots. Hong Kong have a bright future ahead.
Hong Kong is an amazing city, I wish John Lee all the best in success to help the city be healthy, protect civil rights and religious freedom, and just Be Happy ! :-)

Now Hong Kong is just like any other territory in the world, as it has national security legislation.
Hong Kong will still have its identity just like any cities in China. Just as Hong Kong is a part of China.

Listened to half of the interview and I think it’s just a pr stunt, he didn’t say anything substantive.

Is HK still free to remember Tian An Men
Why does Hong Kong commemorate Tiananmen which doesn't concern them because at that time Hong Kong was British colonial. However why doesn't Hong Kong commemorate all the fallen ancestors who fought against British aggression during the 0pium Wars?

Fun fact John Lee is still eligible to reclaim his British Citizenship and his wife and two children as still hold British Passports
nothing wrong with holding multiple passports as hong kong with its own system allows it
communists always flee to capitalist countries once their money gets found out
Indians from India holds multiple passports, and they are everywhere in the world snatching jobs from the local people.
