Reading member lists and profiles of statutory bodies of the establishment is to really understand hidden meaning of HK news, recent incidents and two-faced PR campaigns of the vested interests in this city.
Actual governmental law proposals are drafted and consulted with statutory bodies within the establishment not primarily the legislative council. Such as Hong Kong Trade Development Council and The Town Planning Board. In HKSAR, the government and its statuary bodies are true and real major lawmakers and policy practitioners. In practice, the only remaining political function of the legislative council is to read, follow and approve it financially while the most of individual proposals are basically just unrestrained 'recommendations.'
Title-holders in the Statutory Bodies are people who are really enjoying 'direct democracy' in the establishment of HKSAR. In fact, democracy does exist in Hong Kong. However the highest quality of DEMOCRACY is only available for those unfairly privileged figures from the ruling class.
As long as the revolving doors are freely open to the local vested interests, even 'genuine' universal suffrage of the legislative council and the chief executive or any other 'patriotic' 'democratic' progressive reform cannot make any significant difference to the status quo.
Not only notable 'lawmakers' (POLITICIANS) but also you can find some 'disappeared' 'missing' politicians in the statutory bodies. Even some anti-China rioter and oppositionists are occupying job titles of statutory bodies.
It is a surprising fact that ongoing 'purge' of 'opposition' figures excludes statutory bodies of HKSAR. As a result, the 'purge' is inadequately limited in the legislative and district councils while the vested interests / private interests / monopoly capital are ridiculously, enormously dominating titles in Statutory Bodies. One representative of private interests occupies at least 2 to 19 'full-time' titles of the statutory bodies simultaneously besides their own fields of executive or scholastic or legal or professional 'full-time' jobs in private sectors. This undeniably confirmed correctness of David Webb (1965-)'s analysis in 2010 yet any individual holding even 2 job titles in the establishment is ridiculous as one worker can only concentrate on one 'full-time' job. Thus it is about common sense of workers not about violation of 6-title rules. (1)
In general, statutory bodies are to manage governmental policies, operations and provide public services for society as part of the government, hence it should not be heavily dominated by private interests. Any private interest must be excluded from the 'public service' establishment in order to fully serve communities as governmental bodies. Public servants in real terms should fully dominate and operate all statutory bodies. Instead individuals from the private sectors should be excluded from the public sectors because private interests only serve private interests. In other words, the goal of capitalists is exploitation of surplus values of labours. Capitalists only seek their own benefits and profits at the cost of society. It is fatally wrong to let capitalists exploit public interests for their own private interests. The hijacked statutory bodies of HKSAR are just profitable tools for them.
Collusion of government officials and entrepreneurs (官商勾結)) means crony capitalism. Crony capitalism of HKSAR establishment is true and real. It just only needs to check the statutory bodies by yourself. See crony-capitalism index of The Economist. Hong Kong as a region ranked top #1 in 2014 and 2016. (2)(3)(4)
The situation above perfectly explains recent events in Hong Kong:
1. One of respected media REUTERS (in fact a member of HKGCC as Thomson Reuters Corporation; HKR0102) (5) exclusively reported 'With tighter grip, Beijing sends message to Hong Kong tycoons: fall in line' by Clare Jim and Farah Master on September 17, 2021. No matter what their intention was, the news politically created the highly positive atmosphere for upcoming 'reform' in Hong Kong. The most important thing on the news and its consequences is that the PR responses of the real estate oligarchs could have been and will only be the same with how they reacted to the news (read 東方日報A1：地產商願解樓荒 等政府鬆綁 ) on September 25, 2021. Furthermore , they just repeated exactly the same PR response to Xia Baolong's demand on July 16, 2021. In short, the Hong Kong oligarchs will react in the same way even though the pressure from the central government is true or not. And they did. It still does not deny the official demand / line of July 16, 2021.
2. Why the study on the statutory bodies is so important on this? Because it refutes lies and news propaganda of Hong Kong oligarchs and corporate media like Oriental Daily News. The nature of those pro-real estate oligarchic propaganda news, suggestions and opinions during this period is denial of social accountabilities of monopoly capital in this city. Instead, they tend to one-sidedly scapegoat the HKSAR government for everything while those private interests / business sectors / monopoly capital / oligarchs are also dominating the statutory bodies of the HKSAR government.
3. Hoarding land and housing properties for speculation is done by their dominated statutory bodies. Thus, real-estate oligarchs cannot scapegoat the entire HKSAR government for systematic postponement / sending around / derivarate time-consuming. On the contrary, real-estate oligarchs now are trying to hijack the 'reform' and momentum for profitable deregulation on the anti-speculation policy. For instance, deregulating the 'anti-speculation' land premium while those hypocritical real estate oligarchs are vowing to end rising housing prices by 'voluntarily supporting' the government. In other words, solving speculation of housing prices and real-estate stock prices by accelerating speculation? Moreover, skyrocketing housing prices automatically mean rising prices of everything in this city (artificially created, permanently maintained inflation).
3. 囤地，操控樓房供應（空置率極高）的炒樓炒股投機行為是由他們地產霸權/ 商界壟斷的法定機構來完成的。官商勾結的法定機構有系統地推遲/送來送去/派生耗時來維持高樓價政策，因此地產寡頭不能把整個香港特區政府當作代罪羔羊。相反，房地產跨行業寡頭勢力現在正在試圖劫持"改革"和當前氣勢，以利於放鬆反投機的管制。例如，放鬆或撤除針對'投機'的補地價政策及辣椒，而那些虛偽的房地產寡頭同時卻一再發誓要通過'自願支持'政府來增加土地樓房供應結束房價上漲。換言之，在實踐上，通過加速投機來解決房價和房地產股價的投機問題？即使真反中亂港禍港勢力地產霸權成功矇騙所有的大陸人，也仍然騙不了深受其害的所有的香港市民。
4. The DAB's proposal (September 23, 2021) of restructuring Transport and Housing Bureau and Development Bureau is the same proposal with Hong Kong oligarchs. Such as the direct representative of real estate oligarchs, Razack Ebrahim Abdul's proposal on July 15, 2021.
5. For both the HKNSL-related 'purge' and the 'anti-monopoly' reform, the statutory bodies should not be exempted. Otherwise, the result will be the opposite or distorted or even nullified.
6. The policy tendency of the central government on HKSAR is quite obvious if we see what is happening in Macau and on its monopolistic casino industry now. Bloomberg reported the news 'China’s Casino Crackdown Part of Quest to Transform Macau' on September 24, 2021. There is still no official comment on the REUTERS and Bloomberg reports from the central government.
7. The REUTERS's exclusive report of September 17, 2021 revealed some treacherous figures in the establishment. For instance, Lau Siu-kai, Leung Chun-ying and Carrie Lam publicly 'protected' Hong Kong oligarchs on this. Technically, they used 'two systems' against 'one country'. So called 'one country' means 'common prosperity.'
8. The ideal of 'common prosperity' should be shared with both Hong Kong and Macau in order to integrate themselves into the entire national economic development of China.
The aim of this article is to examine correctness of David Webb (1965-)'s analysis on the statutory bodies of HKSAR in order to accurately understand recent political and economic events in Hong Kong.

With tighter grip, Beijing sends message to Hong Kong tycoons: fall in line (9/17/2021): HONG KONG, Sept 17 (Reuters) - As Beijing seeks to tighten its grip over Hong Kong, it has a new mandate for the city's powerful property tycoons: pour resources and influence into backing Beijing's interests, and help solve a potentially destabilising housing shortage. Chinese officials delivered the message in closed meetings this year amid broader efforts to bring the city to heel under a sweeping national security law and make it more "patriotic," according to three major developers and a Hong Kong government adviser familiar with the talks. "The rules of the game have changed," they were told, according to a source close to mainland officials, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter. Beijing is no longer willing to tolerate "monopoly behaviour," the source added. [...] Because the tycoons are so deeply intertwined with the city's economy and politics, it would be difficult for Beijing to sideline them completely, said CY Leung, former Hong Kong leader and now a vice-chairman of China's top advisory body."They are a major component of our political and economic ecosystem, so we need to be careful," Leung told Reuters. "I think we need to be judicious with what we do and not throw the baby out with the bathwater." (6)
東方日報A1：地產商願解樓荒 等政府鬆綁 (9/25/2021): 香港置業全球最難，繼一周前傳出中央官員要求香港地產界協助解決後，香港地產建設商會昨日首次舉行執委會會議，共有20多名執委參加。會後僅發表聲明，澄清沒聽聞上述消息、也沒有會員接獲內地官員上述意見。不過，該會表明，在「良政善治的新環境下」，商會及一眾會員「定必」全力支持特區政府增加土地房屋供應。聲明一出，日前大跌後趨向觀望的地產股又見下挫。市場揣測，官商可能已達成一定共識，「大家心照」，綜合分析，料發展商未來要配合政府步伐加快建屋，捐地、參加土地共享先導計劃將成常態，而業界詬病補地價政策，望及早撥亂反正、拆牆鬆綁，亦帶動未來的房策改革。(7)
消息：夏寶龍指香港未來不會再有籠屋、劏房 應告別住房難問題 (7/16/2021): 據了解，夏寶龍在會上談到不少人關心「一國兩制」實施50年之後有何變化，認為香港在中國共產黨第二個100年中，香港仍是經濟繁榮，房屋問題會得到解決，未來不會再有籠屋、劏房，年輕人可以告別「住房難」問題，又指每任特首都要辦好幾件實事，但他在會上未提到具體措施。全國港澳研究會副會長劉兆佳向《香港01》表示，夏寶龍提到要解決香港深層次矛盾，住屋問題是其中之一，希望未來不再有籠屋、劏房等，是對未來特區工作的展望和督促，具體工作應由特區政府進行。(8)
地建會梁志堅：地產商非只顧利潤 會配合政府供應步伐 (9/24/2021): 身兼香港地產建設商會執委會主席、會德豐地產主席梁志堅於會議後回應東網查詢指出，政府與發展商都明白香港房屋供應短缺問題，作為地產商亦不是只顧及公司利潤而忽略市場訴求，會配合政府土地供應步伐。他指出，部分持有較多農地的地建會會員，都有捐出土地作過渡性房屋發展，也有參與土地共享先導計劃，不過發展商也要進行研究，等待政府審批及商討補地價事宜。(9)
政黨轟政府架構存缺陷 促設4司14局 (9/23/2021): 外界怒轟政府施政差、廢官多，架構要做大手術。有政黨今日(23日)斥港府融入國家發展不順暢、缺乏中長遠規劃，又批港府政策解說不到位、部門分工未能聚焦，促大刀闊斧改革政府架構及問責制度，新增副政務司司長、文化體育及旅遊局、發展和改革政策組，變為4司14局。[...] 該黨建議新增及重組決策局，包括新增文化體育及旅遊局統合相關資源，負責研究及推動文化藝術、康樂旅遊等事務；重組發展局和運輸及房屋局，新設房屋及規劃地政局、運輸及工務局，提升土地及房屋供應的決策效率；將政制及內地事務局重新命名為內地及政制事務局，以及將駐內地辦事處的5名主任以委任制任命，選人範疇擴大至非公務員。(10)
石禮謙倡分拆運房局 政府應考慮 重組架構 (7/16/2021): 石禮謙指運輸及房屋局局長陳帆一日只得24小時，卻要分身處理房屋及運輸政策，故認為政府有必要考慮將運輸及房屋分家。石批評政府看見房屋問題卻不做，才一直沒有改善。他認為政府部門不應各自為政，而政府建屋是幫助沒有樓的市民有居所，而不是只為賺錢，又指未來10年政府應該興建60萬個單位，令市民安居樂業。(11)
China’s Casino Crackdown Part of Quest to Transform Macau (9/24/2021): Gambling in Macau goes back more than three centuries, with the practice legalized there in 1847 as a way to fill the colonial authority’s coffers. By the late 19th century, gaming taxes had become the government’s main income. For decades the industry was monopolized by a company co-founded by late billionaire Stanley Ho before opening up in 2002 to the current players. Macau eventually surpassed Las Vegas, and today bettors can pose before a fake Eiffel Tower or stroll along replica Venetian canals on its main strip. But a shift is firmly under way. While still employing one-fifth of the city’s workforce, the gambling industry’s contribution to Macau’s gross domestic product had dropped to 51% before the pandemic hit, from 63% in 2013, according to the latest government data.The license renewal process for the city’s six casino operators is shaping up to be a key test of Beijing’s pivot. With the permits set to expire in less than 10 months, the government is expected to pressure the firms -- who have seen gaming revenue contribute 85% of overall revenue on average the past three years, according to Bloomberg calculations from company reports -- to boost investment in non-gaming sectors.

外電：中央要求港發展商助解決房屋問題 業界稱一直配合惟政府欠積極 (9/18/2021): 全國港澳研究會副會長劉兆佳認為，中央一直希望香港集中處理深層次矛盾，自然希望地產商可以盡社會責任，積極配合特區政府。他認為現時本港反對派減少，地產商亦明白大勢所趨，希望社會穩定，因此對日後公私營土地合作發展有期望。劉兆佳又指，香港實行資本主義，政府不能對商人有太多道德要求，與內地現時提倡共同富裕的情況不同。(13)
據報中央指令地產商解決房屋問題 特首稱有需要可收回私人土地 (9/21/2021): 有報道指，中央指令地產商解決本港房屋問題，行政長官林鄭月娥不評論傳聞，但稱有需要的時會收回私人土地發展公營房屋，而地產建設商會周五例會將會討論有關議題。[...] 行政長官林鄭月娥稱：「當然發展商有私人擁有的土地，我們亦都可以用公權力，在有需要的時候收回這些私人土地去發展公營房屋。我覺得他們今日其實很願意去配合特區政府政策，例如土地共享計劃，用他們的土地七三比建公營房屋；亦有超過一半過渡性房屋，即這15,000個已承諾的過渡性房屋單位，一半以上的土地是來自地產商借給我們、是無償地借給我們。」地產建設商會就稱，沒聽聞有個別地產商收到相關的中央指示，不過會於周五舉行的例會討論；又指業界有與政府商討增加房屋供應的辦法。(14)
東方民調：拓地建屋無寸進 審批冗長礙發展 (9/27/2021): 房屋問題如同死結，港府處理多年未見起色，房屋亂象亦引起中央關注，多年前已提醒港府若處理不好會演變成政治問題，更督促港府盡快取締劏房。最近甚至傳出中央要求香港地產界協助解決樓荒的消息，雖然香港地產建設商會澄清沒聽聞此消息，但表明在「良政善治的新環境下」，商會及一眾會員會支持港府增加土地房屋供應。市場亦揣測官商可能已達成一定共識，料發展商未來要配合港府步伐加快建屋，捐地、參加土地共享先導計劃將成常態，而業界詬病補地價政策，望及早撥亂反正、拆牆鬆綁，亦帶動未來的房策改革。「東方傳媒民意調查」於上周四至六以手機東網APP成功訪問381名18歲或以上市民，結果顯示，對於香港樓價持續高企，房屋亂象更引起中央關注，54%受訪者直指，房屋問題加劇社會怨氣；29%批評港府房策一籌莫展；15%形容香港房屋死結難解。港府常指無地可用，但不少棕地卻淪垃圾山，工業邨有大量閒置地，40%受訪者歸咎當局無善用土地資源；35%認為須全盤檢視閒置土地；23%轟港府規劃思維守舊。發展新項目需經過多個政府部門審批，手續繁複，41%受訪者批評港府部門各自為政，冗長審批拖延發展；35%稱應重組政府架構簡化程序；21%指可效法深圳一條龍審批。港府推出過渡性房屋及明日大嶼計劃，惟大部分受訪者認為，無助解決房屋問題，40%斥遠水難救近火；25%批評不切實際假大空；24%炮轟港府敷衍市民，無濟於事。香港樓價冠絕全球，繁榮指數顯著回落，54%指難安居樂業，加劇社會矛盾；25%斥高樓價影響生活質素；17%稱生活成本高損害競爭力。房屋供應嚴重不足，大部分受訪者批評港府的房屋及土地政策，49%歸咎歷屆政府房策傾斜發展商所致；30%斥港府懶政不作為；19%直指港府因循，拓土建屋無寸進。綜觀情況，大部分受訪者直指高樓價令市民難安居樂業，不但影響生活質素及競爭力，甚至加劇社會矛盾，直斥港府現行的土地房屋政策只是敷衍市民，不切實際，根本無助解決房屋問題。(15)
東方民調：本報屢獻拓土建屋藍圖 發展船灣淡水湖 (9/27/2021): 港人置業怨氣重，一項「自置居所對香港社會經濟的影響」調查指出，2004年至2019年的15年間，香港樓價升近4倍，自置居所比率卻跌至51%。香港土地房屋問題尾大不掉，港府推說「無地可用」，但事實是當局無善用土地資源，規劃思維守舊，有地不懂用。(16)
Apparently, the most of local news reports are interpretation of announcements of government or events by 'experts' from the ruling class themselves. They tend to replace 'people's voice' with their own 'interpretation' in order to affect the central government policy and public opinions.
顯然，大多數地方新聞報道都是由統治階級的"專家"自己對政府公告或事件的解釋。他們傾向於用自己的"解釋"來取代"人民的聲音"，以影響中央政府的政策和公眾意見。
COMMENT
Point: The monopoly of statutory bodies by monopoly capital (the vested interest) is always or permanently ignored by local or state media when they criticise the land and housing issues of this city.
重點：壟斷資本（既得利益者）對法定機構的壟斷，當地媒體（包括偏幫地產霸權的大公文匯報及星島日報之流）在批評這個城市的土地和住房問題時，總是或永久地忽略它。
Revolving doors for the vested interests are still fully open to them. It means that any 'reform' will be systematically nullified from the statutory bodies where thoroughly monopolised by the vested interests if it will not be publicly disapproved at the legislative council.
Kind suggestions for Hong Kong, China are as follow: 1) The 'reform' should be extended to the Statutory Bodies of HKSAR establishment; 2) The title holding must be strictly restricted in no more than one title for each individual in the Statutory Bodies; 3) The double or multiple title holding must be banned on both legislative council and district council members in order to secure the quality of work and accountabilities of their 'full-time' jobs; 4) Should totally exclude private interests from the Statutory Bodies because private interests only serve their own private interests not public interests.
對中國香港的建議如下。1）"改革"應擴展到香港特別行政區的法定機構；2）必須嚴格限制法定機構中每個人的頭銜不超過一個；3）必須禁止立法會和區議會議員的雙重或多重頭銜，以確保他們"全職"工作的質量和責任；4）應將資本家及其利益代表完全排除在法定機構之外，因為資本家及其利益代表只會服務資本家及其私人利益而不是公共利益。
