After bearing the brunt of public anger and international criticism over the 2019 protests, Chief Executive Carrie Lam now says she is “steeled” to meet any challenges as she spearheads sweeping changes in Hong Kong. In the fifth episode of Talking Post with SCMP chief news editor Yonden Lhatoo, Lam addresses concerns about where she is taking Hong Kong and defends her contentious legacy. Lam also won’t reveal whether she will seek a second term, though she does not sound like someone who is bowing out.

Have to give credit to the interviewer for showing what journalism should be all about. Asking hard questions - but with an open mind instead of trying to win an argument based on preconceived conclusions.
It’s irrelevant son. His pro China figure or else he wouldn’t of being interviewing lam to begin with
@@aboodsmith3566 Well if I were Carrie Lam why would I bother wasting my time with journalists who are just out get you regardless of what you say? And that’s the sad state of affairs today. Journalists failing to be their jobs properly and just pursuing their blatantly ideological biases
@@tkk685 That's the point if you are not shady and corrupt what do you have to hide?
And if they were going to get her facts and evidence would expose any bias in the room.
But she can't allow such argument, she knows she has too much dirt to cover
@@link2442 too young, too naive...
@@tkk685 please elaborate, I am open to this conversation
She was totally vilified and trashed just 2 yrs ago. Now she's a comeback queen. The press is nothing if not fickle.
She’s a puppet of the corrupt Beijing communist party. Not too long ago she wanted to live in the UK. Evil woman!
You mean when people actually had no restrictions on who they wanted to vote won an electoral lands slide?
That election was an embarrassment to the ccp, so now xi is asking for the preselected ccp puppets on the ballot. Can't have actual people make decisions right?
Walk the talk. Build affordable housing.
Carrie school report . "Could do much better. Too easily influenced by others. Haughtiness bordering on arrogance does not endear her to others at the school. Hopefully her tenure as Head girl will be her last"
That part about the one country two systems around 5:40 speaks a lot about the bias in anti china media. They always say China has broken the promise of keeping the one country two systems law by emphasizing the "two systems" part; never the "one country" part.
I always say, you can't prove that China broke any of the conditions of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. The document was intentionally vaguely written, so that governance could be flexible as the times change. Besides, the Basic Law is the final product and the legally binding document, not the 1984 declaration. The Declaration was fulfilled in 1997 with the BL's introduction as the new Constitution of the HKSAR.
China did break the laws when it decided to go against people who did not agree with the ccp, that is in itself a violation of the treaty
@@link2442*Like what? Please elaborate.*
Mainland didn't break it, but slowly, until they didn't realized it.
@@link2442 you clown 🤡
One country is the pre-condition of two systems.
Act tough, and knowing how to tough it out is very much a different thing.
200 sqfeet + 21 days quaranteen => inhumane
Yup! You’re right! It’s more humane to increase the likelihood of covid spread to community far and wide
It is also known as safety precaution, and I am sure it is something you would not understand or even know.
During the 21 -day quarantine, hK authorities uncovered 2 travellers into hK carrying the Omicron Covid mutant. Quarantine stays! If you want the freedom to infect others , don’t come! Don’t Come!
Eh it wasn't that bad.
Agreed. There's justification for a quarantine for that long especially when the hotels aren't covid free, travelers are catching it in hotels. HK and China is sitting behind a non effective zero covid strategy which will not work because the rest of the world is already living with the virus that is constantly evolving. HK refuses to open with the rest of the world becoming another North Korea.
Female Quisling
And history shows how that ends.
England: Horrible at housing
Hong Kong: Horrible at housing +
Rome or houses are not built in a day, okay? Know the difference and the issue will be fixed I have no doubt.
The leaders from Central government who is in charge of Hong Kong affairs also visited those tiny apartments in Hong Kong and expressed their unsatisfaction. Now Hong Kong government has a plan to change the situation. The northern part of Hong Kong will be developed, Hong Kong's housing problem will be eased very quickly. The more important, Hong kong will be more connected with Mainland China. The average housing area in urban Mainland China reached 40 square meters per person. Hong Kong can catch up soon.

Why was security law not enshrined in the first place to protect national security and allowing riots and protest that threaten the peace in HK.
Hongkong was doing great, the national security law is a blanket for bypassing the treaty signed in 1997.
Anything democratic is now being removed, ccp breaking promises thanks to this traitor lam
@@link2442 tell me which country has no security law, HK has been played out by the British having security law is not against democracy.
@@leo96119611 It is quite simple, Each country has their laws specifying each rule and its limitations to sum up to a grade level of offenses and specific actions and level of degree of harm, damage and injury.
Contrary to the HK national security law this new law “secession”, “subversion”, “terrorism” and “collusion with foreign forces” incur maximum penalties of life imprisonment, these offences are so broadly defined they can easily become catch-all offences used in politically motivated prosecutions with potentially heavy penalties.
HK played out by the British?

Tell me why does the CCP throws salt at every country that helped it grow in its development to its industrial power house?
@@link2442 i agree with you
@@link2442 you clown 🤡
Hong Kong is dying actually, businesses are leaving the City to relocate in China. 'In two three years we have flats in Kwu Tong.' It takes at least 10 years for land approval then it takes 10 years to build due to sewage pipes and road planning etc. I call BS on the 2-3 year schedule. Meanwhile they approve the building of 88sq ft flats (which no one will buy.) Most of her answers use minor deflections. 'It's a question of quantity and quality if we go for a very spacious unit requirement, we will build less' (You mean you build less inhumane towers. However, humane apartments can go up 40 floors where the surface area remains the same though-out each floor, not like single village houses. Also, yes 200sq ft is inhumane, she didn't bother to answer that one.) This is just a silly interview to improve her image before her reappointment. Beijing had to force these developers to handover the horded land in the New Territories to build the 15,000 transitional units. They are unwilling to change to make the lives of the younger generation better. Judging by the views no-one cares about her or her corrupt admin profiting over people's misery. Here she is praising these developers in order to get reappointed by the 0.2%. Yonden had to cut the interview, waste of time.
Your people chose this, enjoy your decline.
Not entirely true. I watch an estate being built in front of my building in less than 2 years in Shatin. Houses are built at a much faster rate now. Also, there are businesses leaving. But there are also many more ppl moving into Hong Kong from China bringing in new economic demands. The hk population will continue to expand. Just look at the rebuilding of Kai Tak area. That’s a 100 billion dollar project. On the other hand, London, NY (places that I used to live ) are on a much faster decline and I don’t see any prospect of a big economic leap potential there.
@@pl3120 You forget, Hong Kong is on the path of constant lockdowns since the emergence of Omicron. We are dealing with real world time so the blame for delays from their original 2-3 year schedule is inevitable now. The brain drain is a major problem, will filling the City with people from Guangdong/Shenzhen really help the HK economy? Shanghai/Beijing would be better. It’s quality over quantity any day, I just hope for the best. Haven’t been paying attention to London lately, Brexit is still a worrying factor.
@@Meh-qe4rw I am looking at the next 5 -10 years and beyond. Lockdown is not going to last forever. Do you think people from Shenzhen/Guangdong are of "lower quality"? Didn't you know the new Chinese hedge funds are in Shenzhen and not Shanghai/Beijing? Chinese govt has designated Shenzhen as the next tech/financial hub in Asia. There's no shortage of brains in China. Plus, HK covid management surpasses any major cosmopolitan city in the world. By contrast, London, NY, LA , SF are facing a much worse covid-economic-downturn. UK is only allowing HKers to move there because they know they are in dire straits money wise. I have more worries for UK/US economy to be honest.
She did not get reappointed, so there goes that.
Government is awful
???? Without government there will be anarchy. Government is appointed to govern.
Ah a statement without evidence. Naïve
@Bruno Santana Government of CCP deprived of the rights, liberties, and democracy that Hong Kong people had experienced.
@Bruno Santana No foreign enemies in the history of the world have imprisoned, tortured, murdered, worked to death, or starved to death, more Chinese people than Mao Zedong and the Communist Party of China.
The greatest threat to the CCP is the truth - with a close second being the Chinese people.
@Bruno Santana To make such a comment, either you're either a typical wumao troll, brainwashed Chinese nationalist, or freedom-hating tankie.
From cradle to grave, the Chinese people are lied to. Their lack of knowledge about their own history, much less the rest of the world, is necessary in order for the CCP to stay relevant and in power.
Yonden the Officials complement her work. It is fine to ascertain the needs of the people of Hong Kong so that resources from the Central Government can be allocated and resourced. Who cares what the perception of the outsiders are as it is the welfare and happiness of the Hong Kong citizens and residents are paramount. Where you get that from, I can assured you is no business of outsiders and the world at large.
Dont forget the entire world hates China from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and US, enough said. Don't hear so much hate for other countries as a matter of fact. The CCP makes us Chinese look like clowns.
@Alex I think you have been brainwashed, want to talk so I can clarify the reality of things
The Beijing thugs want nothing more than to destroy HK. They’ve been at it for years and now Winnie The Poo has succeeded with the help of Lam. She’s a vile witch who supports the people who facilitated the spread of Covid.
@@joeg2964 you are brainwashed
@@mao4634 your name says it all. The only brainwashed people are the ones like yourself who continue to defend the corrupt Beijing thugs. They can’t even come clean about the origin of covid, which they covered up, and you know it. They are still hiding the truth despite the loss of millions of lives throughout the world which they caused. The Chinese government is incapable of telling the truth to their people and the world. China is run by a dictator and his corrupt party which prevents freedom of speech. The only way they can stay in power is by putting their foot on the throats of its people. They are an embarrassment to the world and people despise this rotten, evil government. You should be ashamed of yourself for defending such a ruthless government. Freedom of the press and internet is vital in order to maintain a healthy free society. Mainland China is a sick country and the corrupt crooked government is making China sicker. People like you calling me brainwashed are either mentally challenged or just in denial. Either way you are to be pitied.
Shes still under US sanction? That means she still has her salary delivered in cash to her house bcoz no HK banks want to hold a chequing account for her.
This is fake news. There is the Bank of China which is a better bank with integrity and transparency. Just because you heard it on the Western media does not make it true. If you care to exercise your rational faculty you would know such news are nothing but fake. This is precisely the thing I expect people with rational faculty to exercise it as they commonly say, you got a brain, please use it.
@Jeshua Satterlee It is misogyny conflate with racism, understood?
@Jeshua Satterlee Yes, nobody from Hong Kong was sanctioned and hence my piece about how she is paid in truck load of cash. They would love to sanction her but on what grounds as the NED operatives were behind working the scenes with rioters and hence the flags of Britain and US were brandished around.
@Jeshua Satterlee You need to watch Daniel Dumbrill's videos as well as New Atlas to get how they conclude that analysis. The CPC do not embodied any of these useless and heinous ideals. The US flag does not symbolised the revolution of the people and the British flag is not of global order but colonialisation, okay?
@Jeshua Satterlee Yes, only the myopic Joshua Wong and Blind Freddy and his dog. It has been stood on and burnt with such regularity in the Middle East and Asia that I would be embarrassed to claim ownership.
I hate the violence in 2019 and I also hate how the HK government is tightening our freedom.
I'm glad to see responses like this. But how far should the violence of went?
If your demands dont get answered what do you have left to do?
@@twopercentflat4766 violence started because of how the gov responded to the protest

Tough lady to defeat destabilization.
I asked politicians tougher questions when I was 17 years old. Politicians in HK have it real easy.
At least CCP should remain One country - two systems forever. Hong Kong people wants to protect Hong Kong in politics and economies. In addition, CCP shouldn't dominate Taiwan. Taiwan should be Taiwan.
It's refreshing to find a Thai who appears to have a grasp as to what's going on in Hong Kong and how the CCP actually operates. The CCP shills and Chinese nationalists behave much like the ultra-royalists do in Thailand.

@@ArashRezaee Because Chinese try to do arbitrage about real estate in Hong Kong. The land price increases. Cost of living rises. Hong Kong government should solve.

Thailand’s way of life is being under attacked by pro-democracy groups. Thailand being the only Asian Country that has never been colonised is bing now infiltrated by NGOs, NEDs trying to force democracy not for your people’s freedom.

Well done to miss Lam!
You're here because you are paid to be.
Only a cuck shill could actually celebrate people being disenfranchised of their say in the way they are governed.
Irrespective of whether you support a particular politician or not, its truly pathetic you'd cheer for your own inability to have a say.
And this particular politician managed to galvanize both the pro establishment and pan dems for once in agreeing on one thing - how utterly inept she was and central to the disaster which befel us in 2019.
There is a lot of blame to go around, and the radical protesters/rioters and the extremists within the pan dems who who cheer lead them absolutely shoulder heavy responsibility, but so does Lam who is supposed to be the leader, she's CE after all, and this was her own assessment of her job performance in her own words.
Back of course before she got amnesia and decided to engage in some serious revisionist history :
And I quote "I don't want to spend your time, or waste your time, for you to ask me what went wrong, and why it went wrong. But for a chief executive to have caused this huge havoc to Hong Kong is unforgivable. It's just unforgivable"
Hmm~ no upfront sensitive questions???🤔 scare Will end up like Apple daily?
Not true if you bother to watch the whole interview from beginning to the end. So do yourself a service by doing so instead of making silly comments without any basis.
She finds HK very well positioned. I might have missed out a couple of news.
As MLK Jr. would cry out, "let freedom reign." For Ms. Carrie Lam it is "let freedom, safety and prosperity reign."
The fact that hk is stable and economically sound after such destruction from protesters as well as the effects of the pandemic is remarkable. Compare the recovery to other countries and one will see that there is a lot of opportunities to bounce back up. I have seen countries that don't ever recover from one adverse situation, let alone two.
Hong Kongers are Chinese, Taiwanese are Chinese, we're all Chinese, but we all hate China's CCP 🤣🤣🤣 haha soooooo sad boohoo nobody likes China, the world hates China..对不起伤害了你

Well done Carrie. You are indeed an iron lady unmatched by any American politicians and intimidation. You are super, you are the best.
Minimum size of a flat should be 450 sq feet. No less.
No matter who sits as Chief Executive, s/he will be hated by some HK people because they don't like China. Regardless, Carrie Lam is intelligent and a smooth talker even though many people hate her. Can you find an ex-Chief Executive in the past who can talk as well as Carrie?
I’d rather an awkward person who actually gets things done. Actually, even Lam Cheng was awkward herself during the early stages of the 2019 unrest. She was flamed for comparing protesters to parenting and raising children. She also called them people with “no stake in society.” I don’t agree with the riots but you don’t talk to frustrated people like that! She squandered her chances to placate the public by acting faster and not viewing her critics as children.

Whenever a politician says "just take my word" when pushing a controversial law, it only makes me more worried. Is there anything that guarantees journalistic freedom under the fake news law? Singapore already showed where suchna thing can lead to...
We're all in for a reckoning with fake news spread via social media. There's always SOME sick people who want to spread BS to make themselves feel validated.

How to regulate that, is a question every modern country needs to answer.
@@canto_v12 I'm completely with you with combatting fake news. I see it as a threat to the freedom of opinion, as Hong Kong's protests have shown. So fake news laws should improve this freedom imo, which none of those in place today have achieved, the opposite in fact because they not only target these few extremists, but also the reasonable opposition. With HK's current state and Lam's intransparency about the proposal, forgive me if I have little faith in the nature of this law.
A quick comment if i may, for the potential of the future. Demonstrating the system of governance in Hong Kong as extremely successful in the future, presents the central government in Beijing with the opportunity to view this style of government for greater China. Possible?
possible perhaps only in the scope of the Greater Bay Area, but what seems also likely is that Beijing uses HK as a test for the hypothetical governance of Taiwan if reunification does occur, just my 2 cents
Where did you think the master plan came from? The Central government of course including the Basic Laws. Why would you adopt the plan when the master plan is drafted and implemented by you? Many confused the use of the market as capitalism when in fact and practice, it is a mechanism to determine price. The central theme and philosophy is the ownership of the means of production, okay?
Lots of possibilities in China. Look how far they have come and how many reforms have been made in the past 40 years.

I'm no Hong Kongers or Macanese, but i always curious, why does Macau people can accept the 'One Country Two Systems' while Hong Kong people can't? Is it because UK govt still "take a look" on HK or what?
Macau supports One China policy. In the other hand, Hong Kong doesn't want that. Hong Kong want to preserve one country two systems. Hong Kong people fear to lose democracy, the rights, freedom, and identity.
As someone with family from HK.
Hong Kong people like to think they aren’t Chinese since they were subjects of Britain for 200 years and think they are better then mainlanders since their economy boomed while HK was used as the main trading hub of China. In essence, they look down on the mainland. But now, the mainland’s economic boom came 30 years ago and HK is becoming more irrelevant with China becoming the major power in the region with cities surpassing HK like Shenzhen right across the border from HK.
Lastly, the political system that was used to subject HK citizens to British rule was left behind and used to continue to create this divide between the HK and the mainland.
Also doesnt help when HK schools teach the youth anti-China stories
Portuguese left Macau cleanly, didn't promote any activity.
Let me try to help...throughout colonial history, Macau wasn't really very well governed. Portugal didn't quite know what to do with it, so they were happy to give it back and China had started staffing up the Macau government decades before the actual handover! When Macau returned to China, public order improved dramatically and the economy took off due to liberalisation of the gambling industry. Macau and Hong Kong were in very different states upon their return. Hong Kong worries about its own downfall from its peak of influence in the colonial era. Macanese view it as "the bad old days," and people never really spoke any Portuguese in daily life, not even in the colonial era.
That's why Macau is happier than HK under China--they had very different starting points.
Ironically, Macau has done a much better job preserving colonial architecture than Hong Kong.
Wow hk has become commy
Thankyou, CE Carrie Lam. Thankyou for your leadership.
Carrie Lam is an excellent leader and a humble, humane, compassionate woman as well. Full confidence with her policies 👍👍

HONG KONG FUTURE VERY BRIGHT MY A$##SS,
i feel sorry for her, the amount of hatred and toxicity that came her way was so bad that she asked to resign. But Beijing supported her all this time!
Just watch the next few years with china's help. you will understand later.... but my fellow brothers and sisters in HK need to judge things better instead of brainwashing media.
Yea I also want to sell my homeland to another country $$$ it's will surely benefit the land!
*Sarcasm*
I bet you don't even live in Hong Kong. Or even visited it. Having main land China is the worst decision ever. Less rights will be given to HK over the years and everything that had made HK unique will disappear because of the mainland government. I use to live in Hong Kong for 7 years, right above the Olympic Station. And till this day, I visit almost every year to see relatives. Don't you dare say that the media is brainwashing the citizens of Hong Kong. During the protests, most people stopped looking at the media or even used it so China would not be able to predict the number or where the protectors will go. My grandma who is 98 years old, doesn't even know what Instagram or what Facebook is, she saw the newspapers headlines and started to cry. She started to cry over this decision.
Now, I don't really truly know what Hong Kong means to the people since I was just a kid. But now as an American citizen, I am angry at China for not keeping the deal they had with the British. They cut it by 2 decades.
It’s a beneficial dialogue
Her English is flawless and she spot on in response to interviewer's questions. This got to do with her vast knowledge and experience.
A great leader, stood the storm, unwavering, smart. and lots of credit to lhatoo who during the protest spoke a opinion of rationality during the vandalism by the protestors. Carrie Lam will be remembered in Chinese history as some one who saved Hong-Kong from anarchist.
Dont forget the entire world hates China from Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Korea and US, enough said. Don't hear so much hate for other countries as a matter of fact. The CCP makes us Chinese look like clowns.
@Bruno Santana Hong Kong people want to preserve one country, two systems. However, CCP try to demolish it.
Not vandalism, it was terrorism.
@@kaneshirosan1642 : just on the contrary, CCP makes all Chinese people proud, stand with dignity. Learn some Chinese history before you open your mouth.
@@walltiger6603 You mean Tianmen Massacre where CCP killed thousands of fellow Chinese with guns and tanks? Don't worry we all know the documented history really well little pinky. Hence history is one thing, present is another. CCP needs to stop telling people to take revenge on others over history and learn from lesson. I have freedom of speech with where I live, I am not in China so you cannot shut me up or lock me up for speaking the truth. The world hates China because of the CCP, most Chinese living overseas also hates China's CCP. Little pinkies like you are only minority, but we still get crybabies like yourself on daily basis ~ 对不起伤害了你 伤了你的感情 我听见有个声音 是玻璃心碎一地 💔💔💔 又让你森七七..👉🏻👈🏻🤭🤣🤣🤣
No matter who is doing her job, they will always be hated because of the complex political setup of HK, they have to deal with both anti-ccp and anti-west. The fact that she has survived is enough of a testament to her intelligence, temperament and suitability to the job. So people should shut up about what you can’t and will never understand
#WhereisPengShuai?
Lhatoo, a former TV journalist who was described by current and former colleagues as an abrasive and mercurial presence prone to angry outbursts and frequent shouting, is part of a trio of senior editors seen as contributing to a sometimes caustic newsroom environment. -The Atlantic, Aug 1 2020. He is the reason I no longer read SCMP.
He did a fair job here IMO. I’m not going to judge him as a person but he refrained from ideology and personal insults. At the same time, challenging his interviewee as a member of the free press should.

Why is the Chinese government so paranoid ?
Basic human nature from evolutionary point of view, particularly for those in power, why don't you ask why the US refocus 90% of its foreign policy toward China ? To be fair, China opens to the US companies and products in a more rational way than what the US leadership is doing. The Us doesn't have a clear strategy to contain China and status quo once start to be tipped then world will go on a roller coaster ride for next ten years. China is actually the stabilizer in the world at this moment.
I think the US which is paranoid. Why can't Chinese people live a better life

FYI, there is no crocodile in Hong Kong so how?
What is Taiwan?
You do not know? It is a province of China or commonly known as the People's Republic of China pursuant to UN Resolution 2758 passed in 1971 and the Three Joint Communiques particularly paragraph 7 of the First Communique which clearly states that Taiwan in a province of China.

She has neither.
Yonden Lhatoo is the editor of SCMP, he used Beijing instead of central government. He does not acknowledge the authority of Chinese central government?
Semantics….”Beijing” and the Chinese government are the same thing in a geopolitical conversation.
@@canto_v12 Hong Kong is a part of Chinese. Chinese never use Beijing as Chinese central government. It means Beijing city when Chinese mention Beijing. It is OK for foreigners.
@@user-dj3lo4iw2f you are over reacting. Even Chinese political commentators use Beijing to refer to the Chinese government, like “Washington” for the US government.

Please check with Thomas Bach, the IOC president. Failing that ask your mother's cat. I think your mother's cat is more informed than you.

Nail it....well said!

Drag queen.
She is better than the Queen who resides in Buckingham Palace. I would have her as my Queen anytime even though I am not a monarchist.

China leader Carrie lam*
Yes she is one of China state leaders
This woman has thick skin. Her legacy is being one of the most inept leader in history.
Are you a dermatologist? If not how do you know, you have no brain and I know because of your comment. I diagnose that you suffered from hatred and jealousy but you will never be what she is. I am sure she does not want to be what you have become. You are from the category of the deplorables, poorly educated and poorly informed. You know what, the people of Hong Kong do not care what you think. Your dumb comment is like water off the duck's back.
Carrie Lam is the hero of HK. Thank you Carrie for quelling the foreign inspired rioters and bring HK back from anarchy to civility and prosperity.
For 2019 and 2020 I agree. She used some really disparaging words to describe the 2019 protests before they turned violent-of course I fully agreed with the law-and-order principle once they did turn violent and started spreading lies about the cops. But since Carrie Lam’s term is not done I will wait for the end of her term to judge. If she makes great progress in housing, she may redeem herself.
Stay safe sis.
Stay healthy.
Stay 4ever young.
U did the right things.
That s all matters.
No regrets.
Hk n china v b v proud of u.
Well done.
You're waffling.
@@righteousone1 u 2.
Simply put it, Thanks CE Carrie Lam for all these years of hard work which eventually upon these months seeing that patience, perseverance and piety for HK and HK people pays off ... Salute!
No, That thanks goes to the British that HK has always been a prosperous country, while china was a third world country for the most of the 20th century
Carrie Lam = Traitor
a city for people or a city for city , that is a question!
I doubt “the people” are really in the equation anymore. Now candidates for this position complete for the support of special interest groups and Beijing.
One country,two systems more like one country,one system.
Show me a country that have two system?
@@signumxmagnum US have state law and federal law. I can marry my sister in some states and then buy guns yee-ha
'One country, two system' is no doubt, the biggest scam of the century.
Sorry for your lack of numeracy. I can assure you it is one country two systems. You got a problem with that? There is always your master the British colonial master to go to. Have you given it a thought, if not, I suggest you should. Failing that if you do not qualify go to the master of the lapdogs, the United States.
@@signumxmagnum Carrie lam herself said that she has worked to preserve one country two systems. She claims she has worked in the interest of HK.
She is a great leader to lead HK hope she can continue to serve for another 5 years.
Namewee &Kimberly Chen's "FRAGILE" recently most popular song in China.🤐🤐🤐
Carrie Lam is possibly the strongest female leader I've ever known.
I'm glad there are rational, patriotic people like her in HK. I know that a large number of HK people have a positive outlook on the motherland. It's always the dissidents that scream the loudest and therefore appear to be in the majority. Once the benefits of the central government's influence becomes apparent over the next decade the disgraceful riots of 2019 will become an important lesson of the past. Specifically how dangerous it is to allow foreign forces to fester unrestrained and poison the minds of the youth through lies and propaganda.
But CCP try to demolish one country, two systems.
@@Boss_SR i think the situation is very complicated. Both the ccp and the violent protesters are in the wrong
HA???
@@kienwaiwong3953 OK. I think that protester should be more tolerant. 🥺
She's done a great job besides bringing back the economy and importantly the stability of HK with the assistance from the Central government...by and large, she is cool headed besides great contemplation 'first thing first' in both handling Covid19 and the growth of HK... an example is the spending vouchers given to its citizens to generate the domestic economy front which is a big success! Dude...HK have no GST ! and still growing year by year! unlike the farmLand ...dot.
Sellout
