    explaination

    The Hongkong reporter imply that the presidency election in HK is just a show as CPC has already appointed the candidate that they want. The reporter is trying to get Jiang to agree with the implication by playing around with words so that the media company she work for can put up a headline news about this and attract more audience. ( which I think it’s really a cheap stunt)

    But Jiang clearly know the motive of the reporter and avoided the ‘trap’. He implied that the reporter is too young to play such ‘word game’ and the questions asked are really ‘too simple’ (pointless) and such acts of the media are sometimes naive.
