Dai Qingcheng: Can Hong Kong maintain the status of the ＂Capital of Integrity＂?

Saturday (July 1) was the 26th anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China.Over the month, the media has continuously reported and promoted a series of achievements that Hong Kong have achieved in the fields of economic, cultural, education and other fields in the past 26 years.Interestingly, no one pointed out the achievements of the integrity after the return of Hong Kong in 1997.

"Hong Kong, I have ICAC." The Hong Kong Integrity Agency (ICAC) has been operating independently since its establishment in 1974, and has not been afraid of fighting against corruption.According to the integrity index released by the International Anti -Corruption Organization "Transparent International" last year, Hong Kong ranked 12th in the world, ranking higher than most advanced countries.

The Review Report Report, a year of work published in early March this year this year, also pointed out that last year, the official received a total of 1835 corruption complaints, a 19%decrease from the previous year.Fall.

Hong Kong's corruption last year was not much. To a large extent, it was related to the reduction of economic activities in Hong Kong's fifth wave of coronary disease early last year, but it also reflected that Hong Kong's corruption situation continued to be effectively controlled.Most Hong Kong people are constrained by themselves, do not easily fall into the trap of corruption, and have a good attitude towards corruption.

The results of a polls conducted by the Hong Kong Intellectual Agency last year confirmed this.The survey found that if 0 points represent "it is completely impossible to tolerate corruption", 10 points represent "it can tolerate". Last year, Hong Kong's average score was 0.5 points, reflecting that integrity has become the core value of society.Of the more than 1,700 Hong Kong people interviewed, as many as 98.9%said that they had not encountered corruption -related activities in the past year, which was similar to the results of the survey in the past ten years, showing that the integrity of Hong Kong society was good and stable.

Of course, former Chief Executive Zeng Yinquan, a former Chief Executive of Hong Kong, was convicted of miscarriage of public officials.Constantly singing Hong Kong is no longer honest.However, from another perspective, these major cases also reverse the strong error correction ability of Hong Kong's rule of law on corruption.No wonder the integrity of Hong Kong has been highly respected for many years and is known as the "Capital of Integrity."

Next year will be the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the Hong Kong Integrity Office.The ICAC, which is about to enter the "year of knowing the destiny", has a lot of movements recently, including the launch of WeChat official accounts in May, further broadening social media channels, promoting integrity information to Hong Kong people, and using WeChat platformsThe ICAC work.

In June, Hu Yingming, a unusual commissioner in Hong Kong, also revealed that the Department of Fang Zheng was actively preparing for the "Hong Kong International Intellectuals College" to provide anti -corruption training courses and training for international and local law enforcement institutions and Hong Kong public and private institutions.

Due to the dissemination of Hong Kong film and television dramas, overseas Chinese and mainlanders are no stranger to the Hong Kong Integrity Office. The Intellectuals Office has been deeply rooted in the plot of the "big tiger" involving corruption.Various signs show that the ICAC is already full of schemes. In addition to continuing to do a good job in corruption and corruption in Hong Kong, it will also use the Intellectual College of Integrity to bring the anti -corruption concepts of mainland China and Hong Kong to the international.

However, just as Hong Kong has recently fallen in the global competitiveness index ranking list, it has sounded alarm on Hong Kong. In recent years, the rapid changes in Hong Kong society have also brought great challenges and unpredictable future work.

The Chinese government has revised Hong Kong's election rules in recent years to ensure that the patriot gathers Hong Kong.Hong Kong's politics also appeared in large shuffles, all democratic schools were out, and there were no different systems, non -construction or pan -civilian masters.If Hong Kong has always been a place where the situation of skirt capitalism is complicated, and the social elite politics has long formed a vested interest structure for a long time. In recent years, another new noble has begun to appear under the "Patriot Governing Hong Kong", forming a more complicated vested interest structure.

Looking around the current political circles of Hong Kong, many people have close relationships with Hong Kong enterprises or Chinese -funded state -owned enterprises.Are these relationships unable to collude with each other between Hong Kong companies and politicians?

Some people have observed that some companies are interested in their influence in government policies, while some politicians actively join the ranks of renters, hoping to increase their own interests.

In fact, some Hong Kong politicians can be seen from time to time in the past few years. In the topic of important public interests, they can openly speak for large enterprises, and even write articles to support large enterprises.If you don't read it carefully, you think these articles are advertising.

Originally, the Hong Kong Parliament had no opposition. The media, as the "fourth power", can still play the function of supervising and checks balance.However, under the shadow of the Hong Kong National Security Law, many Hong Kong media have dare not report to officials and enterprises in recent years.For a long time, the "official and business collusion" and "interest transportation" hidden under the society may only be more and more serious.

Hong Kong's competitiveness has continued to decline in political internal consumption in the past ten years, but compared with other mainland cities, especially the rule of law and integrity, Hong Kong still has obvious advantages.With the second half of Hong Kong's "50 years unchanged" after the return of Hong Kong, whether it can maintain the status of the "clean capital" will be another key issue that the "one country, two systems" successfully implemented in Hong Kong.
