WK Lo’s LegCo Express

August 2025

1. Published my book “Healthcare, Food, Housing and Transport after the Epidemic”
On 1 August, a book-sharing session was held on my new book "Healthcare, Food, Housing and Transport after the Epidemic" at the LegCo Complex. My new book documents the post-pandemic society and my time in the legislature. I'm distributing it to the public and my associates through different channels. This particular book-signing event was specially arranged for the LegCo Secretariat staff for their support. I also played the pipa to liven up the atmosphere. 

2. Joined the Roundtable on Yachting Tourism and the Yachting Economy
On 16 August, with some other LegCo members, I joined the Roundtable on Yachting Tourism and the Yachting Economy, bringing together government representatives, industry stakeholders, and experts to jointly explore opportunities and strategies for developing yachting tourism in Hong Kong. The roundtable comprised three major sessions, including building a Blue Economy Industry Chain on Yachting and Tourism to explore how infrastructure, services, and marketing can drive a new growth engine for the yachting tourism economy; from Yachting Economy to Waterfront City on how yachting communities drive leisure housing and commercial planning; creating a yachting tourism ecosystem to connect local industries and resources to foster cross-sector collaboration and regional economic growth. 
 

3. Government’s response to my motion “Establishing a top-level dedicated structure to devise a population policy”
My motion “Establishing a top-level dedicated structure to devise a population policy” was passed by the LegCo in June. The Government further responded in a report in August that existing high-level coordination bodies—including the HR Planning Commission, the Committee on Education, Technology and Talents, and the Working Group on the Silver Economy—are already effectively aligning cross-bureau responses to demographic changes. As of mid-2025, Hong Kong’s population exceeded 7.5 million, projected to reach 8.19 million by 2046, with 36 % aged 65+ and workforce participation declining. The Government is advancing a multi-pronged strategy—encouraging childbirth, supporting fertility services, attracting external talent, and expanding elderly support—to address population ageing and manpower shortages. 

4. Led a delegation to Shenzhen with young entrepreneurs 
On 13 August, I led a delegation with some other LegCo members and a group of young entrepreneurs from Hong Kong to visit Shenzhen’s youth entrepreneurship and innovation enterprises, exploring opportunities for integration in innovation and technology between Shenzhen and Hong Kong, as well as new development prospects for Hong Kong’s young people in the Greater Bay Area. We first visited Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Youth Innovation and Entrepreneur Hub, which has, over the past decade, enabled hundreds of Hong Kong youth start-up teams to establish themselves in the Bay Area. We then visited a start-up accelerator founded by Hong Kong youth. Since its establishment in 2022, it has incubated over 80 enterprises. Afterwards, we toured the “Bao’an Low-Altitude Economy Exhibition Hall,” which showcases Shenzhen’s leading edge in the low-altitude economy. Finally, we visited the “Aerospace Industry Headquarters Base” to learn about the services and prospects of the commercial satellite industry.
