When it comes to Lantau Tomorrow, what everyone cares about is the 500 billion or the artificial island?

A day has passed, and the public discussion on social media regarding the policy address remains fervent. However, how has the topic shifted? Following the announcement of the policy address yesterday, netizens not only focused on housing issues but also on livelihood matters such as the ban on electronic cigarettes. Issues concerning women, including maternity leave, as well as healthcare topics, have also become focal points for the public. In contrast, labor issues like the MPF offsetting that were discussed in society prior to the announcement received a lukewarm response.

As of today, by 3:00 PM, other topics have basically cooled down, while the housing issue remains the "top priority" in online discussions.

In the housing issue, the public is most concerned about the large reclamation project "Lantau Tomorrow," with some discussing reclamation, others saying the risks of artificial islands are high, and some pointing to the draining of reservoirs... So where does the public's focus lie? We use uMax DataxMiner（uMiner）The unique big data technology-assisted content analysis methods and machine learning models interpret discussions on Facebook, forums, and Instagram, revealing that the most talked-about topic is land reclamation (47%), followed by artificial islands (21.6%), and pricing issues come in third (16.9%).

Each focus group has a different tone. While all groups center around land reclamation and artificial islands, the pro-democracy camp tends to discuss pricing issues more, whereas the establishment camp focuses more on housing supply discussions.
