Superficially, Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying stood to gain from the visit of a state leader to the place he governed except for the unlikely scenario that he was given a reprimand during the visit. With such nice words as \u201cfull endorsement\u201d and \u201csatisfaction\u201d of the Xi Jinping-led central authorities over his leadership and work, Leung\u2019s leadership and governance should have been shored up by the \u201cinspection\u201d visit of National People\u2019s Congress chairman Zhang Dejiang ended on Thursday.<\/p>\n
This is not the case.<\/p>\n
It can even be argued that ask 10 ordinary citizens on the streets now half or more than half of them may say they don\u2019t think Leung will get his second term.<\/p>\n
This is partly because the sweet talk by Zhang about Leung\u2019s governance has been so routine and carefully-crafted to almost mean nothing or, worse, imply something negative.<\/p>\n
