Li Jiachao’s Policy Address: Government Unity and Subsidies for Newborn Babies

The new “Policy Address” will be released tomorrow. Chief Executive Li Jiachao has announced that he and his team will wear green collars and scarves designed and produced by students, hoping to further highlight the unity spirit of the government team. It is reported that the government plans to distribute a subsidy of NT$20,000 to each newborn baby. Some members of the Executive Council support the introduction of measures to encourage childbirth, but believe that the government will encourage companies to introduce more family-friendly measures, which will be more helpful and more practical.

Hebei hopes that all walks of life will create more opportunities for young people

Tomorrow Li Jiachao will release his second “Policy Address” during his term of office, and the cover will continue to use last year’s light green cover. Li Jiachao pointed out that this symbolizes the hope, vitality, harmony and stability represented by green brought by government policies. He also said that tomorrow he and his team will wear green collars and scarves designed and produced by teachers and students of the Hong Kong Design Institute. He revealed that the design is inspired by traditional Chinese dynasty patterns. Different patterns represent the civilization of the Chinese nation in different periods.

The team of teachers and students added modern elements to the traditional patterns of collars and scarves. Li Jiachao said that injecting new vitality makes the design feel fresh, and it also has the symbolic meaning of inheriting traditional Chinese culture. He hopes to encourage all sectors of society to create more opportunities for students and young people to use their creativity to their full potential.

Lam Ching-choi calls for more practical family-friendly measures

Sources indicate that the government plans to provide a subsidy of NT$20,000 to every newborn baby whose parent is a Hong Kong citizen. Member of the Executive Council Lam Ching-choi supports the government’s measures to encourage childbirth, and also supports all policies that can help increase the birth rate, such as tax exemptions, cash coupons, or financial incentives. He believes that these are all the government’s intentions. However, he bluntly said that what mothers worry about most may not be money, but how to balance work and taking care of children at the same time. He suggested that if the government encourages companies to introduce more family-friendly measures, such as providing them with tax incentives, it will be more helpful and more practical.

In addition, there is also news that the use of elderly health care vouchers is planned to be extended to tertiary hospitals in the Greater Bay Area. Lam Ching-choi, the former Chairman of the Elderly Affairs Commission, expressed his agreement. He believes that if some Hong Kong-style management and the medical system that Hong Kong people are accustomed to in the mainland can be used, the elderly living in nursing homes in the Greater Bay Area will no longer have to travel long distances back to Hong Kong for medical treatment.
