Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam says reshuffle targeted at economical recovery after COVID-19
22 April, 2020
Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Wednesday (Apr 22) the replacement of several ministers was targeted at reviving the coronavirus-hit economy and was unrelated to recent remarks by institutions in mainland China reaffirming Beijing's authority over the city.
China's state council approved a Hong Kong government shake-up previously Wednesday.
Ratcheting up tensions during the past week, Beijing's top representative office in the city enraged democrats when it said it had been not bound by a law that restricts interference by other mainland Chinese agencies in the former British colony.
