回應提問時曾以「本市」形容本港。

懶人包：施政報告 Policy Address at a glance
我們偉大的校監梁振英特首於一月十三 日發表了其任內第四份施政報告，林鄭月娥 形容報告「細緻、窩心」，成功創下主權移 交以來的評分新低。
CY Leung, our great chancellor, delivered his fourth Pol-icy Address of his term on January 13. ‘It is detailed and warm-hearted’ said Carrie Lam. The satisfaction of the Policy Address, meanwhile, is at a record low since the handover.
History: Origin of the Policy Address
There has been a long history of the Policy Address in Hong Kong. This practice can be traced back to October 1972 when governor Murray MacLehose addressed his policies in the Legislative Council. After the handover, the Chief Executives usually retain this tradition and address their policies in October every year, however, it was moved to January by CY Leung to allow time for ‘consultation’ with members of the fifth-term Legislative Council.
The ‘Motion of Thanks’ came from the British Parliament.
Unfortunately, this practice seems to be antiquated nowadays.
The four motions during Leung’s tenure were all rejected.
District-council-like Government?
A series of policies, such as ‘strive to take forward the con-struction of lift and pedestrian walkway systems’, ‘fitting pub-lic toilets with non-slip surfaces and auto-sensor water taps’
and ‘allow longer pedestrian green time at road junctions for the elderly’ are highlighted in the address.
Do you think they are the rare measures proposed by Leung that benefit the public? Not to mention the actual imple-mentation and the appropriateness of including them in the address, the former Chief Executive Donald Tsang also announced the construction of eighteen lifts or escalators in 2010 but it is still pending now. The policies mentioned, perhaps, are only Leung’s lies for his feats.
The Belt and Road Initiative in Hong Kong
Leung pay much attention to the ‘One Belt, One Road’ policy of China this year. It was mentioned for over 40 times in his speech, second only to that of ‘mainland’ and ‘country’.
The words ‘Hong Kong’ and ‘local’, of course, cannot be mentioned frequently for the favour of his ‘boss’. Leung was so sophisticated that he used ‘city’, an administra-tive division of PRC, to describe Hong Kong.

報告指出將向獎學基金注資十億元，鼓勵
The government will inject $1 billion into the Targeted Scholarship Scheme to attract more students from the Belt and Road countries to study in Hong Kong. Kwok Ka-ki criticise this idea, ‘While our students have to bear liabilities to study, you subsidise those who are from the Belt and Road countries to study’. Surprising-ly, Leung’s reply was ‘We do pay attention to the edu-cation of youngster in Hong Kong’, ‘that is, to unveil the free kindergarten policy’. It seems that, to Leung, providing free kindergarten is already a big gift for Hongkongers.
Leung pointed that foreign cities value this ‘One Belt, One Road’ policy very much. ‘If I did not raise this issue for Hong Kong, not only the central government, but also the 7.2 million Hong Kong citizens, would blame me’ he said. I wonder, to what extent do you agree it?
In fact, the favourable physical location of Hong Kong has already allowed it to have a close relationship with many foreign countries, is there really such need to intentionally cater to the ‘One Belt, One Road’ policy?
Development of the Lantau
Another focus of the Policy Address is the Lantau development. One of the proposals from the Lantau Development Advisory Committee is to develope the East Lantau Metropolis by constructing an artificial island near Kau Yi Chao. It is expected to become the third core business district and a community with a population of 400,000 to 700,000.
The faraway Lantau Island is well-known as Hong Kong’s backyard. Disappointingly, Leung’s intention to build it as a tourist attraction will cause damage to the fragile ecology, while becoming the paradise of the mainland.
During the time Cheung Chau was developing its tourism, many mainland tourists flooded into the area, resulting a rise in rent and the collapse of small businesses. The culture was thereby being destroyed. If the Lantau Island is developed, the consequences, very likely, will be even severer than that of Cheung Chau.
The Lantau Island is away from the urban district, with mainly hills and few flat lands. The cost of development

The culture was thereby being destroyed. If the Lantau Island is developed, the consequences, very likely, will be even severer than that of Cheung Chau.
The Lantau Island is away from the urban district, with mainly hills and few flat lands. The cost of development
is thus very high, while reclamation and chopping down of trees are needed that damage the environment. Per-haps only the government which wants to destroy our country parks can have such idea.
May quit the UNCAT?
The number of torture claimants has risen significantly over the years. The government therefore will conduct a review of the strategy of handling non-refoulement claims.
However, when Leung was asked by reporters about the United Nations Convention against Torture, he said
‘if necessary, Hong Kong can quit the UNCAT’, which shocked many people. The convention is an international human rights treaty. It would lower Hong Kong’s image and exploit the human rights of Hong Kong people if we quit the convention.
The skipped topics
It seems that Leung has skipped a number of knotty topics, such as the missing booksellers, the Guangzhou–
Shenzhen–Hong Kong Express Rail Link, the legislation of standard working hours and the universal retirement protection. However, with no expectation, I believe Hong Kong people will not be disappointed about this Policy Address.
