New chief of China's Hong Kong liaison office hopes city returns to 'right path'
HONG KONG - The new head of China’s liaison office in Hong Kong, who was unexpectedly announced at the weekend, said on Monday he hoped the Asian financial hub, roiled by more than six months of anti-government protests, would return to “the right path.”
The liaison office, which reports to China’s State Council or cabinet, is a platform for Beijing to project its influence in the city. “I worked in the mainland in the past, but I am not unfamiliar with Hong Kong,” Luo, now the most senior mainland official based in the territory, told reporters in a brief statement, without taking any questions.
Until November, Luo was the top official of China’s ruling Communist Party in the northern province of Shanxi, where he had been tasked with cleaning up a graft-ridden, coal-rich region where corruption was once likened to cancer.SUPPORTS ‘BASIC LAW’ CONSTITUTION Hong Kong’s unrest is the biggest political challenge facing Xi since becoming president in 2012. China denies meddling and blames the West for fomenting unrest.
