We have taken appropriate, comprehensive, and relatively rigorous response measures for the first time. In addition, rumors about the so-called "confirmed cases" in Hong Kong began to circulate last week.

The new semester of the Chinese University of Hong Kong has begun. Some reporters have noticed that CUHK has added security guards wearing reflective vests at the entrances and exits of the campus. All visitors are required to show relevant documents or register for visits. To pass. Principal Duan Chongzhi sent an open letter to all teachers and students stating that the campus is subject to control, and Bridge No. 2 and Xia Dingji Stadium will continue to be closed. As a large number of school buses were destroyed by mobs in November last year, temporary buses need to be arranged to shuttle the campus. The MTR University Station is currently only partially open.
Student ID is required to enter and exit Hong Kong CUHKOr register for visits.
"Zhong News" mentioned in the previous "Hong Kong One Day" that most of the thugs occupying the campus of the Hong Kong CUHK as a stronghold for armed resistance are not members of the school. Now that the Hong Kong CUHK is registering for visits at the entrance and exit, it may help to isolate some of the people who have "conspired" to extend their black hands to the campus again.
3. The "Hong Kong Independence" song
enters 2020, and the new Hong Kong District Council begins to operate.
The Kwai Tsing District Council held its first meeting after the change of term today and elected the chairman and vice chairmen of the council. The democratic district councillors then stood up at the meeting and sang the "Hong Kong Independence" song "May Glory Return to Hong Kong", which aroused dissatisfaction with the establishment district councilors present.
"Pan people" is causing the district council to deviate from its original purpose of serving the community and focusing on people's livelihood.
Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong District Councillor Leung Ka-ming criticized the chairman Shan Zhongkai for being "pan-people" and questioned him openly allowing members to sing on occasions like the District Council. Leung Ka-ming condemned: "Next time you can dance, or even set a table to play mahjong. It's all right."
Then, the establishment district councillors stood up and left the meeting to protest. After the re-election of
, the "pan-people" aspect has an advantage in some electoral districts, which also means that when this district council is put into operation, the work of serving the community and focusing on people's livelihood will be selectively ignored by these district councilors. It is inevitable that Hong Kong will be completely "pan-politicized" at the district council level.

She said that she welcomed Luo Huining, Director of the Liaison Office of the Hong Kong Central Committee, to take up her new post in Hong Kong last week and will meet with him again this week.

Carrie Lam pointed out that what happened in Hong Kong in the past is distressing. As the Chief Executive, she has a great responsibility and responsibility to make Hong Kong start again.
