It’s not only the Chief Executive’s popularity that’s constantly slipping in the polls, it’s also the level of satisfaction with his Policy Address. This is his third and indeed the longest since the handover, but only 30% of participants in one poll thought that quantity equaled quality. Rather strangely, the Address began with an attack on students, as Mr Leung took issue with an article discussing Hong Kong’s level of autonomy in the magazine “Undergrad”, published by the Hong Kong University Students’ Union. We’ll have more on that next week.
In part two of today’s show, we’re looking at Mr Leung’s plans to strengthen students’ affection for the motherland, and the difference between rule of law and rule by law.
But first, housing and high property prices. Is there really any plan to improve the situation?
Like the Chief Executive, we are looking at education. Some critics believe that the most important aspect of education for Mr Leung in this year’s Policy Address is increasing love for the Motherland, if not the ruling party. Measures he announced include renewing the content of the Chinese History and World History curriculum, increased subsidies for mainland exchange programmes, and the introduction of a pilot “sister schools” scheme with mainland schools.
How frustrating it can be for a government when courts insist on rule OF law instead of rule BY law. While the Chief Executive stressed adherence to the law in his Address this week, speeches at the opening of the Legal Year on Monday suggested that HIS version of what law should be may not be quite how judges and practicing lawyers see things.
