Chief Executive Carrie Lam’s popularity rating has dropped to a record low of 20.2 points out of 100, a recent public opinion survey has found.
By Hong Kong Free Press, Oct 30, 2019
//The rating is the lowest among any post-colonial chief executive, according to the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (HKPORI), the crowdfunded successor to the University of Hong Kong’s Public Opinion Programme. The institute interviewed 1,038 people between October 17 and 23 over the phone.
The institute also conducted a survey about Hong Kong independence following a public crowdfunding campaign.The results showed that 11 per cent supported Hong Kong independence and 83 per cent did not.
Chung [director of HKPORI] said allegations that the ongoing protests were a “pro-independence movement supported by foreign forces” did not correlate with the research results.//

Another Boxers' Rebellion for the Xi Dynasty...Before Its Collapse?
The Hong Kong Police Force will be awarded a funding even higher than the military expenditure in Libya, according to the Budget Plan 2020/21 issued by the Hong Kong government.
Considering China, the Communist Party, however, allocated more funding to maintain "social stability" than the People's Liberation Army. In other words, policing 'national harmony' is so crucial that it doesn't matter whether it is to hire an armed force or the triads to turn civilians into submissive beings.
In the matters of public opinion and publicly-accessible information, it is internationally known that the PRC always hires internet commentators to criticize target countries and manipulate public opinion worldwide. One of the 'achievements' of the PRC's Internet Water Army is shifting the blame of the global pandemic from China's lack of transparency and WHO's failure to monitor to governments all around the world.
Recently, China has accused other countries of infecting PRC national abroad; the Embassy of China in Japan even renamed the coronavirus as the "Japan pneumonia", sparking off heated discussion on the Internet in Japan.
After all, how messed up China's political environment is for the Communist Party to hide its own political pressure and the resiliency within the country behind the tension it stirs up in other nations?

#PORI Survey: Officials to give up immediate family member's foreign nationality to show loyalty to China
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (PORI) revealed that 96% of pro-democracy supporters and 52% who are not pro-democracy supporters agree that the spouses and children of high-ranking officials of Hong Kong should forfeit their foreign nationality in order to show their loyalty for China.
The survey was conducted online, and received 6908 responses from people above 18.
Leung Kai Chi, Honorary Director of the "We Hongkongers" initiative, explained that the research revealed how much people care about whether high-ranking officials and their relatives possess foreign passports. If the officials do not forfeit the foreign passports of their immediate family members within their household, their stance will contradict their actions, and it is more likely that people will doubt their where their true allegiance lies.

Results From HKPORI Shows Polarised Views Regarding Delaying LegCo Elections
The Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (HKPORI) interviewed 9,092 random individuals with online questionnaires between 27 July and 30 July. 73% of pro-democracy interviewees believed that the elections should resume as usual, while 53% of non pro-democracy interviewees believed that the elections should be delayed.
Eric Lai, member of the Election Observation Project, criticised that the government did not do its best at fighting the pandemic, such as not restricting requirements for quarantine exemption, stating that choosing to delay the elections now as clearly a "political decision".
Lai stated that delaying the election would severely damage the fairness of the elections, as it amounts to giving the government and the pro-Beijing camp amnesty. He further stated that ridding citizens of their political privileges would only widen the schism between different camps in society instead of narrowing it.
12 pro-democracy candidates were disqualified from the Legislative Council Elections last Thursday (30 July). Lai feared that more disqualifications would come, with the government continuously using political maneuverings to rid it of "unfavourable candidates", thereby weakening the reason for a democratic election. He stated that even if elections were to be held in the future, they would only be "fake elections without competition [from the opposite camp]"
Lai also believed that the government may continue to weaken the civic society in the following year, such as enacting laws restricting freedom of the press.
Chung Kim-wah, vice Chief Executive Officer of HKPORI, also criticised the disqualifications, calling the power to disqualify an "unauthorised power" ignoring the legal basis of the Basic Law. "Those aren't objective standards: Hong Kong Independence and having been to the USA warrants a disqualification; vetoing a government motion as is their function or not sincerely servicing the government also warrants a disqualification." He stated that no matter the government disqualifies opposition candidates or delays the election, those are "brutal" political maneuverings that seriously decays Hongkongers' political rights, as it only takes a word of distrust from a Returning Officer to disqualify a candidate.

96% of Pro-democracy Hongkongers Want Legislative Election As Soon As Possible
After the Hong Kong government delayed the LegCo election by a year, the "We Hongkongers" Initiative of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) conducted a survey on whether the Legislative Election should be held as soon as possible.
The email survey ran from Aug 31 to Sept 3 and received 14,691 replies, of which 12,293 were from pro-democracy supporters, and 1,254 support other factions. After factoring in weighted adjustments, 68% respondents supported holding the election as soon as possible, while 27% did not.
Among the pro-democracy supporters, 96% were in support; among other fractions, 36% supported it, while 55% were against it.
Dr. Kenneth Chan, a member of the Election Observation Project and an associate professor of politics and international relations at Hong Kong Baptist University (#HKBU), said that the results indicated the vast majority of Hongkongers believe the election should be held as originally scheduled.
"The pro-democracy supporters showed it very clearly. 96% of them believe they were robbed of an election." Dr. Chan blasted Chief Executive Carrie Lam for pushing back the election date for over a year, with no scientific basis. Dr. Chan stated that, as of Aug 31, over 77 countries and regions have held elections despite the pandemic. He further criticized Carrie Lam for giving the impression that that most countries had postponed their elections, calling it misleading.

15 Pro-Dem Legislators' Stay in #LegCo to be Decided by Public Opinion Poll
The pro-democracy legislators' decision of whether or not to stay in the Legislative Council for the next year has been up to debate, after the Carrie Lam adminstration postponed the Legislative Election by a year.
15 pro-democracy legislators had decided to use a public opinion poll to determine their stay in the Legislative Council, with the Democratic Party entrusting the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) to conduct one.
Chairman of Democratic Party Wu Chi-wai stated that they would leave if half of all participating supporters believes that the pro-democracy camp should leave the Legislative Council.
Participating legislators include seven from the Democratic Party, five from the Civic Party, Claudia Mo from HK First, Fernando Cheung from the Labour Party and Shiu Ka-chun from the Social Welfare functional constituency. Leung Yiu-chung from the Neighbourhood and Worker's Service Centre also expressed that he would take the polls to account.
HKPORI Director Prof. Robert Chung believes that the Institute had decreased the gray area in the current threshold, but stated that "politically neutral" participants would also be taken in account, causing the percentage for those in favour or against the stay to be both not more than half.
When asked about the protocol for such an event, Wu stated that they would take different information into account before making a political judgement.
As for why they were only taking supporters of the participating legislators into account, and not towards all pro-democratic supporters, the Democractic Party stated that it had once considered for all supporters of the pro-democratic camp to participate, but Prof. Chung denied the request stating that the legislator's citizen authorisation came from their supporters.
Prof. Chung had been adamant on Friday, stating that were pro-democratic legislators not tied down, they should not have asked for authorisation.

#Poll: 96% of the pro-democracy respondents and 44% Non-democrat Supporters See Police Arrest of RTHK Producer a Political Prosecution
Between November 9-12, 2020, the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) has conducted an online survey with 4,489 individuals, on whether the police arrest of Bao Choy Yuk-Ling, an editor-director of the Radio Television Hong Kong (#RTHK), was politically motivated.
Results show that 96% of the pro-democracy respondents and 44% of non-democratic camp supporters agreed that the arrest was politically motivated.
Dr. Benson Wong, the Honorary Director from the “We HongKongers” initiative, found the results rather surprising. He said that when the non-democrats were asked to answer controversial questions, they tend to respond with “I don't know", but only 2% of respondents chose this answer in this survey.
Wong believed that this means “they know what they are responding to”.
Dr. Wan Kwok-Fai, a senior lecturer of the Department of Journalism and Communication at the Hong Kong Shue Yan University, admitted that the opinions of the non-democrats were "more difficult to grasp". He believed that perhaps 44% of respondents did not consider the connection between the 7.21 Yuen Long Triad Attack and Bao Choy herself, but rather the need for the government to "handle" the public broadcaster RTHK "politically".
This therefore led to different interpretations of the question, resulting in the lack of a clear trend in the survey results.
Wan stated that the arrest was a political retaliation on journalists. He is worried that this would further restrict the survival of online media and citizen reporters.

Nearly 60% of Hong Kong people were unhappy in the past year: public opinion survey reveals
Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) released the latest survey finding on popularities of the Chief Executive and her Administration on December 29, 2020.
At an individual level, 59% of the respondents said they were unhappy in 2020, 1 percentage point higher than the year before (58%). Only 13% said they were happy in 2020, 6 percentage points lower than the year before (20%). The net happiness value in the year past stood at negative 45 percentage points, again hitting a new low since the survey series began in 1992.
#RobertChung Ting-yiu, Chairman and CEO of HKPORI described the sharp fall in Hong Kong people’s happiness rating as “cliff-breaking”. The rating in net happiness among Hong Kong people declined from 40% in 2018 to negative 38% in 2019. Chung explained that this is related to the changing political and economic environment in Hong Kong, as well as the pandemic hit. He opined that people with different political backgrounds and stance were all unhappy, otherwise, the rating won’t be declining so rapidly.
Besides, the survey showed that the popularity rating of Chief Executive Carrie Lam stood at 29.7 points. Her approval rate is 18%, disapproval rate 69%, giving a net popularity of negative 51 percentage points. As many as 44% of the survey respondents gave 0 score to the CE’s overall rating.
Regarding the HKSAR Government, the latest satisfaction rate was 17%, whereas 60% were dissatisfied, thus net satisfaction stood at negative 43 percentage points. The mean score is 2.1, meaning close to “quite dissatisfied” in general.
The survey showed several negative ratings on government performance. Robert Chung criticized that the ratings showed that the city’s government has been going against public opinion in many of its policies.

Data Storage Reduced To 3 Months: HK Academics Promise to Stand Their Ground In Representing Public Opinion
The Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (#HKPORI) was investigated by the Hong Kong police force in early 2021 because of its involvement in the democratic primary election case.
Dr. Robert Chung Ting-yiu, President and Chief Executive Officer at the HKPORI, said on April 1, 2021 that he would continue to uphold the spirit of science and democracy in conducting opinion polls.
With concern for the privacy of the respondents, he decided to shorten the storage period of the research data from 6 months to 3 months.
Chung said that even though the environment in Hong Kong is getting harsher HKPORI will hold fast to their post, "If we were to give up, it would be like asking the Hong Kong people to give up.”
Dr. Chung Kim Wah, Deputy executive director of the HKPORI, expressed that the research institute will continue to uphold the scientific spirit, while sparing no efforts in handling online opinions and constructive criticism. He also said that he used to have hope for the "one country, two systems" when he was in university, and never thought Hong Kong would become what it is today, “If people in power abuse the law, they may even accuse those who participate in international public opinion research organization of colluding with foreign forces.”
He also reminded the Hong Kong people to “Stand fast to your own post and face the situation openly”. He emphasized that HKPORI will continue to work with different organizations to represent the public’s view and opinion on social policies, “so as not to bring the civil society to its knees”.
