On Wednesday, John Lee, chief executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, shared a warm New Year message via social media, ringing in 2026 with a spirit of unity and hope. 🎉
This year, Lee outlined two main goals: boosting the sense of security and happiness for residents, and lifting Hong Kong’s global competitiveness and influence by spurring sci-tech innovation. From smarter public safety strategies to new support for local start-ups, the plan is to make city life both safer and more dynamic.
He also addressed the recent Tai Po fire, saying the government is working on long-term relocation plans for affected residents. "As long as we unite as one, we can surely overcome challenges and let the city prosper," Lee emphasized.
With clear focuses and a call for solidarity, 2026 is shaping up to be a year of progress for the HKSAR. Whether you’re a tech enthusiast, entrepreneur or a resident hoping for brighter days, Hong Kong has big plans ahead. 🌟
