#CulturalRevolution-style Attack on Hong Kong Government Officials
China mouthpieces Ta Kung Pao and Wen Wei Po ran front page article on February 27, 2021 in which it questioned if the newly appointed Secretary of Food and Environmental Hygiene, Vivian Lau Lee-kwan met the requirement of “patriots governing Hong Kong”, a principle described by President Xi Jinping as a bottom line for ensuring the city’s stability.
Lau was accused of having double standards for tolerating political placards made by “black-clad rioters” while quickly removing similar “patriotic” placards from pro-China individuals. The paper also accused Lau’s husband, Chua Hoi-wai, chief executive of the Hong Kong Council of Social Service, for opening its venues to anti-government protesters to take a rest in during 2019’s mass protests.
Executive councilor Regina Ip Lau Suk-yee, a former Administrative Officer, defended Lau against pro-Beijing criticism, likening it to criticisms that prevailed the Cultural Revolution in China.
She called for “Cultural Revolution-style denunciations” to be stopped, urging Beijing loyalists to direct criticisms at issues, and not people.
