香港:50万张机票免费送! ******

  就在今天,香港特区政府向来港旅客送上“新春大礼包”!

  香港特区行政长官李家超在2月2日举行的“你好,香港!”大型全球宣传活动启动礼上宣布,将向中国内地及海外旅客派发50万张免费机票。他形容:“这是世界上最大的欢迎礼物。”

  “你好,香港!”宣传活动,为一连串向全世界讲好香港故事、推广香港商机、文化景点及旅客体验的活动揭开序幕。

  机票送给谁?怎么送?

  本场宣传活动中最吸引旅客的,莫过于免费机票的赠送了。至于送给谁、如何送,香港机场管理局(机管局)行政总裁林天福解答了这一疑问。

  林天福表示,这50万张机票是机管局于2020年4月分别向国泰航空、香港快运及香港航空预购。免费机票计划将于3月1日开始,在6个月内分阶段发放。

  6个月的活动期间,各航空公司将通过不同方式送出免费机票,例如抽奖、先到先得、买一送一等。首阶段将向疫情前最多访港旅客的东南亚地区,包括泰国、马来西亚、新加坡、菲律宾、印尼等地送出机票,其次是中国内地和东北亚地区。

  林天福表示,相信赠送机票后可为香港带来至少150万入境旅客,预计占未来半年内8%至10%的客流量。

  此外,今年夏季机管局将再向香港市民送8万张机票,欢迎市民出游;还将向粤港澳大湾区居民赠送机票,相关安排届时将由航空公司公布。预计最终会送出逾70万张机票。

  除赠送机票,香港还将如何迎客?

  当然,除赠送机票外,香港特区政府还准备了一系列活动、优惠措施吸引旅客到来。

  香港特区政府文化体育及旅游局局长杨润雄表示,将邀请知名人士及网红推广香港,包括艺术、文化、体育盛事、自然生态古迹、城市同维港美景、中西美食、全港景点等,又特别为旅客准备名为“香港有礼”等一系列精选优惠等,向他们表达热烈欢迎。

  杨润雄介绍,未来数月,香港将陆续举办包括首届“流行文化节”在内的多项大型节庆活动。他说:“香港已蓄势待发,准备好迎接全球人士来港。”

  香港旅游发展局(旅发局)总干事程鼎一表示,旅游业界组织会出访全球不同地方,参与旅游展览,通过会展活动创造商机,并且传递香港欢迎他们的讯息。

  就“香港有礼”相关优惠,程鼎一介绍,初步阶段有超过1.6万家店铺、准备了100万份优惠奖赏给旅客,将向旅客发放零售、餐饮、交通等领域的优惠券。2月2日17点起,旅发局会在香港国际机场入境大堂、尖沙咀天星码头、高铁西九龙站抵港大堂以及港珠澳大桥香港口岸旅检大楼4个口岸的游客接待站派发。

  程鼎一补充,在大型活动方面,香港今年会举办超过250个不同类型大型盛事,包括马拉松赛、七人橄榄球赛、博物馆高峰论坛等,未来陆续还举行很多盛事;会议展览方面,有超过100个国际大型会展活动举行,并且有很多国际活动正积极筹备来港举办。

  疫情下,访港旅客人潮不见。如今,无论香港的维港海滨、太平山顶、星光大道、主题乐园等闻名景点,还是西九文化区的香港故宫文化博物馆、M+博物馆等全新地标,都已经开放怀抱,欢迎海内外的朋友来港“行街买嘢(逛街购物)、品尝美食”。

中新网评:美国众议长选举“连续剧”暴露美式民主痼疾******

  中新网北京1月9日电(蒋鲤)在15轮投票表决后,美国众议院议长选举这场“连续剧”终于落下帷幕,众议院共和党领袖凯文•麦卡锡最终成功当选第55任美国众议院议长。这是美国国会过去164年来耗时最久的一次议长选举记录,将美国“对抗式民主”的弊端暴露无遗。

  由于两党对立加剧、党派内斗、利益分配不均等因素,众议长选举陷入一场拉锯战。在此次众议长竞选中,美国民主党议员继续抱团,多轮投票中,一票不投麦卡锡,共和党右翼“强硬派”领头的约20人小团体也拒绝投票麦卡锡。

  麦卡锡的当选之路一波三折,除了本人的“政治投机派”角色在国会不受欢迎外,与共和党内部政治分歧关系密切。

  一方面,共和党党内反对者认为,麦卡锡对民主党态度过于软弱,无力对抗民主党控制的参议院和拜登政府,另一方面,因为共和党的多数优势微弱,党内一些影响力较小的派系的政治力量则被放大,有利于他们巩固自己的选票。

  此外,党内反对者也认为,自己的选票没有换取更多利益,希望以此作为筹码换取麦卡锡更大的让步,比如让他们获得众议院重要委员会中的职务。

  作为仅次于美国总统、副总统的政坛三号人物,众议院议长通常由众议院多数党领袖担任,选举几乎没有悬念。然而,麦卡锡此次为当选,不得不做出多个关键让步,其中可能包括恢复一项罢黜议长动议机制,使得众议长的权力被削弱,难以掌控众议院。

  美国有线电视新闻网CNN称,麦卡锡在这场不合时宜的政治勒索中作出让步,这种绥靖政策只会让极端主义势力更加强大。

  这场引发全世界围观的尴尬选举暴露出美国政治存在严重的对立和分化。在权力博弈思维的裹挟下,党派利益凌驾于国家和人民利益之上,美国两党相互拆台,陷入“为反对而反对”的无脑对垒。而即便是一党内,也会因为利益分配问题产生不同的小派系,相互对抗,选票变成了谋利益的工具。

  从国会山骚乱到打破记历史记录的15轮众议长选举,“对抗式民主”让美国政治陷入瓶颈,长期对抗势必会让政客们丧失客观公正的判断能力,其政治阶层是否有能力治理国家也会引发质疑。

  两党之争和党派内斗进一步放大了美国政治体制弊病,美国所谓的“民主”形象,让全世界大跌眼镜。鼓吹以选民利益为先的美式选举,变成了政客们利益置换的游戏,进一步彰显出美国“民主政治”日渐失能,不断极化的党争已使美国政治制度陷入死循环。

  House speaker election reveals deep-rooted problems in U.S. democracy

  (ECNS) -- The Republican leader Kevin McCarthy was elected as the 55th speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after 15 ballots. As the most grueling House speaker election in the past 164 years, the election has highlighted the defects of the country’s "confrontational democracy".

  The election once reached a stalemate due to intense partisan strife, inner-party struggle among the Republicans, uneven distribution of interests, and more. Democratic Party members forged a close alliance, refusing to vote for McCarthy, while about 20 Republicans also declined to cast ballots for the GOP leader.

  Except for his unpopular role as a "political speculator" in Congress, McCarthy’s hard-won election can be attributed to turmoil within the Republican Party.

  On the one hand, opponents in the Republican Party believe that the GOP leader's attitude toward the Democrats is too weak to confront the Senate controlled by Democrats and the Biden administration.

  On the other hand, the political power of some less influential factions in the Republican Party has been amplified due to the Party’s weak majority advantage in the House of Representatives, which is conducive to consolidating their ticket warehouses.

  Meanwhile, these opponents believe that their votes failed to win them more benefits, hoping to use this as a bargaining chip for McCarthy's further concessions, such as getting them positions in important House Committees.

  As the third political figure after the President and Vice President of the U.S., the speaker, by tradition, is the head of the majority party in the House of Representatives.

  But McCarthy has made many concessions in order to bring the ultra conservatives along, involving what’s known as the “motion to vacate,” a mechanism by which members can force a vote to depose the speaker. The reported concessions will empower individual members at the expense of McCarthy’s sway as speaker.

  CNN thought the concessions he made during this unseemly political shakedown would only make the extremist faction more powerful.

  This embarrassing election, which has drawn global attention, exposed the serious opposition and polarization in American politics. Both Democrats and Republicans put their interests before that of the country and its people, attacking and opposing each other irrationally.

  Besides, different factions arise within a single party and confront each other because of the distribution of interests. Votes have become a tool to win more benefits.

  From Capitol riots to the House Speaker election with record-breaking ballots, "confrontational democracy" has become a bottleneck of American politics. Long-term confrontation will surely impede politicians to think objectively and fairly while their capacity of governing the country will also raise doubts among the public.

  Both parties’ struggle and infighting among the Republicans have further amplified the defects of the American political system, with its "democratic" image shocking the world.

  The U.S.-style election, which advocates putting voters' interests first, has become a game of interest exchange among politicians. In addition, it further demonstrates the malfunction of American "democratic politics" and the constantly polarized party struggle that has trapped the American political system into an infinite cycle.
