As China prepares for its 2026 Two Sessions – the annual meetings of the National People's Congress (NPC) and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference – Hong Kong deputy Chan Yung is hitting the streets to transform neighborhood concerns into national policy proposals. 🏙️📋
From Alleyways to Assembly Halls
Chan, a veteran NPC representative and member of Hong Kong's Legislative Council, recently toured densely packed neighborhoods in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. His mission? To gather residents' perspectives on everything from youth career pathways in the Greater Bay Area to cross-border elderly care solutions.
Bridging Local and National Priorities
"When residents share their daily challenges, they're actually outlining our policy roadmap," Chan told NewspaperAmigo.com. His 2026 agenda highlights:
💼 Creating tech internships across Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao cities
👵 Streamlining healthcare access for seniors living between Hong Kong and the Chinese mainland
🌉 Strengthening cross-border infrastructure for families split by the boundary
This grassroots-to-government pipeline comes as Hong Kong marks 29 years since its return to China, with residents increasingly engaging in national governance structures. 📈
