Two years after taking office as Hong Kong's chief executive, John Lee has shifted his focus from enforcing national security to improving the lives of residents and rebuilding the city's economy. But he faces formidable challenges, stemming from geopolitical tensions between China and the West with Hong Kong caught in the middle. Lee discusses all this and more with the Post's managing editor of content, Yonden Lhatoo, in this episode of Talking Post.

I disagree the narrative that Mr. John Lee has no control over the geopolitical factors. He does. Mr. Lee spent the last 2 years supporting "one country", the next 3 years should be demonstrating "two systems". If the first 2 years are about defending national security, then the next 3 years will be defending freedoms and democracy under the Basic Law of Hong Kong.

Lets see all the truths. All opposition parties have been eliminated and not allowed to participate. Many are in jail for years awaiting a tri with hand picked judges and no juries. Over 250000 HK people have fled. All opposition press has been shut down. Bounties placed on opposition. And you are not a totalitarian state? All western money is gone and will never come back. Go play with Pakistan, North Korea, China, Russia, and all your new buddies.

Lhatoo asks penetrating questions about the war of narratives. He is right in suggesting that HK is losing the war. John Lee, sadly, is not a great communicator who can change the balance of power in this war.

A recent coup attempt in Bolivia highlighted the use of Chinese-made military equipment, specifically the PRC Tiger 4×4 armored vehicle. The incident brought attention to the vehicle’s vulnerabilities when the steering tie rod broke after hitting a curb, leaving soldiers struggling to repair it by kicking the damaged wheel. The Tiger 4×4, produced by Baoji Special Vehicles Manufacturing in Shaanxi Province, China, is designed to transport infantry with enhanced armor protection. It can be adapted for various roles, including command post, law enforcement, riot control, and ambulance. 🤣🤣🤣

The best years of HK is truly OVER. The outflow of talents and their replacement with Mainland Chinese means gradually, but surely, HK will become more like a mainland chinese city, hence losing its uniqueness, culture and characteristics that made HK … HK. The continuing reliance on land sale as the govt’s primary source of income means more and more HKers face high housing costs (both purchasing and renting). John Lee is an improvement over Carrie Lam. But the stone is set for him and I feel his hands are tied and his legs shackled.

To the contrary, HK is actually expanding, as additional areas within the greater bay area are adopting aspects of HK society. In fact, HKers are moving out because it is far more affordable to live on the mainland than in HK itself.

I have no idea why he still has a job; he is totally redundant. All the major decisions are made by the Central Government anyway. He is just there to take orders from the central government. Why doesn’t the Central Government cut out the middleman and administer HKSAR directly? It’s pointless to have a team of useless ‘politicians’ who haven’t done a single thing to improve Hong Kong’s economy or living standards. Hasn’t this ‘Hong Kong Government’ made enough mistakes to give the Central Government reason enough to get rid of them?

the only way for HK to move forward is to integrate fully with Mainland China, get rid of the border. Let HK people to buy houses and live in Mainland China while working in HK. Make it easier and smoother for both sides to travel to the other side. HK prosperity was and is always depend on its connection with Mainland China. So what if HK end up being just "another Chinese city"? Even among Chinese cities, there are 1st tier, 2nd tier, and 3rd tier, and HK can be among those 1st tier cities in China, and there are not many of them, rather than like HK today, having identity crisis, not sure what it is and where it want to go. HK and Shanghai together should be the financial centers of China.
