For this week on “What’s on World Wide Campus?”, here’s more news for Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam insists she will remain in office to tackle challenges including protests and economy as Beijing replaces its top envoy in city.
According to South China Morning Post, Hong Kong’s embattled leader has insisted that she will stay in office to help tackle public health and economic challenges, when asked if she was concerned that Beijing might replace her after changing its top representative in the city.
Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor also believed that she could work well with Luo Huining, who took over from Wang Zhimin as director of the central government’s liaison office in the city on Saturday in the first major leadership change since anti-government protests broke out in June, sparked by the now-withdrawn extradition bill.
Luo’s appointment was announced by Xinhua news agency, which did not give a reason for the change, but a source familiar with the operation of the liaison office previously said Wang’s departure was a gesture towards holding him accountable for the pro-establishment camp’s defeat in November’s district council elections. The bloc lost heavily, winning just 60 out of 452 seats across the city.
