#CarrieLam Postpones #PolicyAddress, Citing Beijing as a Reason; Democracy Front in HK: Lam is a PRC's Puppet, a mere Chinese Official

On 12 October 2020, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam suddenly announced the postponement of the annual Policy Address from October 14 to Mid-November, citing the need to "discuss policies beneficial to Hong Kong with Beijing" as a reason.

Lam will go to Shenzhen to attend an event where Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping's presence will be expected on Oct 14, the original date scheduled for the policy address. Lam will go to Beijing at the end of October.

The democracy front condemned Lam for being a puppet of the Chinese government and a mere Chinese official, who inferiorated Hong Kong's Policy Address and handed Hong Kong internal affairs over to China.

Convenor of the Democracy Front, Wu Chi-wai pointed out that in the past, the Policy Address in Hong Kong had never been postponed, even when communication with the Chinese government was required. The unprecedented postponement this year indicates China's demand to approve the Chief Executive's Policy Address before its release.

Moreover, when asked in the press meeting if the "country" is being prioritized in the "one country two systems" policy, Lam denied and claimed that she "voluntarily" made the postponement and she is "still able to pick a date [for the policy address]".

Meanwhile, Lam refused to comment when she was asked whether she would visit the 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers detained in Shenzhen, China.

Convenor of the Democracy Front, Wu Chi-wai said the Hong Kong government has never cared about the 12 Hongkongers and their familes, nor have they prioritized Hong Kong and it's people in policy making.

A Retributive Remark? Carrie Lam: "No universal suffrage until HK gets politics right"


On Nov 25, 2020, Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam delivered her delayed Policy Address, after having consulted with Beijing. In her introduction, Lam cited from the Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping.

Lam blatantly told Hongkongers that there would be "no universal suffrage until Hong Kong gets politics right".

Lam also said in the TV forum that the authorities "cannot accommodate" those who "think that Hong Kong can become independent and determine its own future".

The Chief asked Hong Kong youths to work in the Greater Bay Area. Although the government will subsidize part of the salary as an incentive for firms and employees, Hong Kong youths have political concern about going to China.

Meanwhile, Lam called attention to the 300,000 "mainland Hongkongers" who had obtained a residenship in Hong Kong and Macau last year. Lam said these people in Beijing, Chengdu, Shanghai and Guangzhou always asked her why they cannot vote in Hong Kong elections.

Lam also announced co-location arrangements, where Chinese jurisdiction would be applied in designated area within Hong Kong, to be carried out at the new Huanggang control point between Hong Kong and Shenzhen.

This year, the Legislative Council has become different without the pro-democracy camp. During the Policy Address, government officials--including Health Secretary Sophia Chan and Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Erick Tsang--dozed off.

Among the pro-Beijing lawmakers, Tommy Cheung dozed off while Vincent Cheng kept twirling his pen. As former Secretary for Security and now pro-Beijing lawmaker Regina Ip checked out a photo of the sleeping Tsang on her WhatsApp, Christopher Cheung told his driver to collect hair crabs, with a worth of HK$9,600 worth, for him.

Carrie Lam Thanks Beijing But Not Hongkongers: "There are Seldom Hong Kong Civilians Next to Me”.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam delivered her 4th Policy Address on November 25, 2020.

At the end of the speech, she thanked the Beijing government for support and also acknowledged her family and friends to accompany her during difficult times.

When attending a TV forum in the evening, a reporter from Cable News asked Lam why she did not thank Hongkongers.

Lam replied that it was an “emotional” remark and that “only those close to you can give support during difficult times”.

She then said that "there are seldom Hong Kong civilians next to me”.

Don't be mistaken, Carrie Lam is not the Chief Executive of Hong Kong. She is the Chief Executive Puppet from China.
