"In us, keep in place, you have to run quickly."
This sentence comes from the conversation between the Red Queen and Alice in the British fairy tale novel Alice.LEIGH VAN VALEN, a US evolutionary biologist, later quoted this sentence and put forward the "Red Queen hypothesis".According to the hypothesis, the nature of the survival of the fittest, the slow evolution of the body, will eventually face the 汱 汱 and perish.
On July 1 last year, Li Jiachao, a policeman, served as the sixth Chief Executive of Hong Kong in the absence of the outside world.After he came to power, he led the new SAR government team to work hard to improve the effectiveness of governance. It was intended to resolve deep social contradictions and lead Hong Kong to re -start again.As the day's first anniversary of Li Jiachao's administration is getting closer, in recent days, Hong Kong society has been hotly discussed the "military officer" chief executive of the past year.
According to the Hong Kong Ming Pao quoted a number of people in politics last week, officials of the China United Nations Office recently met the "wind collection" of Hong Kong's political circles to understand the views of all parties in Hong Kong's social, political, and economic issues.In addition to the China United Nations Office, other institutions and even individual official media have also conducted research. The problems are similar, including evaluating the governance gains and losses of the Hong Kong government in the past year, and even the trend of Hong Kong's people.
The Li family also played in person a few days ago, and shared some of his administrative ideas and feelings with the outside world on social networking sites for two days.When he attended the Executive Meeting recently, he pointed out that the new government's successful achievements have been in office for one year, including leading Hong Kong to overcome the epidemic, out of the haze of the epidemic, and integrating with the fully customs clearance of Mainland China and the world.During the words, Li Jiachao was quite satisfied with his work performance in the past year.
Indeed, the situation of Hong Kong's politics and economy in the Li family's government's administration has obviously improved compared to the previous year.In terms of politics, since 2019, Hong Kong's internal political disputes have continued, and there have been unprecedented large -scale demonstrations and riots.However, in Beijing officially launched the Hong Kong National Security Law and the "Patriot Governing Hong Kong" rectification, the voices of the opposition in Hong Kong in the past year have almost been shoved, and the radical social atmosphere has gradually calmed down.Essence
In terms of economy, under the raging of the storm and crown disease epidemic, the global economy has been severely damaged in the past three years, and Hong Kong has been inevitable.However, after the restoration of normal customs clearance in Hong Kong and the outside world earlier this year, the economy has recovered rapidly.Data show that the economy of Hong Kong in the first quarter of this year increased by 2.7%year -on -year, which ended the decline in four consecutive quarters. It was the strongest rebound in the past two years and performed in the "Four Asian Four Dragons".Many multinational financial institutions have also raised their forecast figures for Hong Kong's economic growth this year in recent months.
It is strange that the Institute of Public Opinion in Hong Kong conducted an investigation on the chief executives and the government in early June, but the results showed that Li Jiachao's latest scores and support rates all reached a new low since taking office.Why is Hong Kong society restored and the economy is getting better, while Li Jiachao's people's hope will fall?
Many people believe that in the past year, Hong Kong has accelerated mainland China and the turn of social security has triggered the dissatisfaction of Hong Kong people.But in addition, perhaps another reason is that although the Hong Kong economy has begun to improve, some citizens are dissatisfied with the political achievements of the Li Jiachao government.
For example, after Hong Kong's comprehensive restoration of opening up in the first half of this year, a large number of overseas tourists visited Hong Kong.However, according to data provided by the Hong Kong Government, there were only 2.83 million travelers visiting Hong Kong in May this year, only about 56%before the epidemic, showing that the recovery of Hong Kong's tourism industry was slow.
As Liang Yongsheng, an economic consultant of the Hong Kong Government, pointed out that at the perspective of this year's economic growth rate, I believe that Hong Kong's annual economy can reply to the level before the epidemic in 2019.The next sentence that Liang Yongsheng did not say was that the economic development of Hong Kong has stalled or even step back for four years.Other neighboring countries and regions have moved forward in these four years.Even if Hong Kong's vitality has returned to the level four years ago, it still lags greatly behind other cities.Many Hong Kong people are naturally dissatisfied in their eyes.
This is the real life version of "Red Queen's hypothesis".The same reason can also be applied to the crown disease epidemic in recent years.At the beginning of the outbreak of the crown disease, human beings were infected with large -scale infections; and then the epidemic began to slow down as people with antibodies increased.However, when the virus evolved a new strain, it was once again popular in society.As a result, humans and viruses are constantly taking turns.In other words, antibodies must be in front of the new strain, otherwise they will be defeated.
In fact, Hong Kong society has been tearing since the storm in 2019, and the deep -seated contradictions that have emerged have not resolved.For example, after the outbreak, a large number of enterprises and talents have been lost in Hong Kong, and it still has a profound impact.
Another example is that Hong Kong's industrial structure is single and has limited development momentum.The current global economic instability. Only in Hong Kong can improve its competitiveness only by promoting industrial upgrading and transformation.But how to transform, society still has no consensus.
According to the "Red Queen's hypothesis", if Hong Kong wants to maintain the advantages of international competition, it must continue to run or even double the pace, otherwise the original advantage will be lost.In the film, Li Jiachao described the world to become very fast, and he retreated without entering. Therefore, "Hong Kong cannot be slow, can't wait", it is about a little idea.The question is: What are the cope with the Hong Kong Government?
