Chinese President Xi Jinping met yesterday with Carrie Lam, Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, amid the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the handover of Macau. The content of the discussion between Xi and Lam was not disclosed yesterday.
The embattled Hong Kong leader also joined a dinner last night where Xi Jinping delivered a speech stressing the importance of national security and the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ policy framework.
At the start of the week, Lam had traveled to Beijing to update Xi and other senior mainland officials on the situation in Hong Kong. Last weekend, Lam told the press in Hong Kong that the purpose of her visit was to “give a full account of what has happened in Hong Kong over the past year.”
