The newly appointed advisor Luo has been serving as the director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong. Holding a Ph.D. in economics, he has worked in Anhui Province, Qinghai Province, and Shanxi Province, achieving significant results in anti-corruption and boosting economic vitality.

The day before, the State Council also appointed Chan Kwok-ki (Eric Chan), director of the Hong Kong Chief Executive’s Office, as the secretary-general of the National Security Committee. At 61 years old, he graduated from Tsinghua University and has worked nearly 30 years at the Hong Kong Immigration Department, where he served as director.

It is responsible for formulating national security policies, establishing legal systems, and enforcement frameworks. The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Chief Executive Lam, serves as the chairman, but advisors appointed by the Central Government of China are dispatched, effectively making it an agency under the jurisdiction of the Central Government.
