Hong Kong security chief is promoted to second position in US sanctions appeal | The Wall Street Journal Hong Kong Protest News
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Carrie Lam, reorganized the cabinet, appointed Security Minister Lee Hsien Loong as the Chief Secretary for Administration-the second largest position in the government-and appointed Chief of Police Deng Xiaoping to succeed Lee Kuan Yew. This move is seen as China’s strengthening of Hong Kong’s control over Hong Kong. After the democratic “Apple Daily” was suppressed, it called on the United States to increase sanctions.
At a press conference on Friday, Lin also announced that Xiao Feng, the deputy police chief, will become the city’s new police chief.
