The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sent an additional 100 “cadres” to work in its top Hong Kong office over the past year to ensure the city was ruled by Chinese “patriots,” the
South China Morning Post (
SCMP) reported on Friday.
“One mainland [China] source said about 200 new cadres had been transferred to the central government’s liaison office in the past year, partly to replace others in jobs on rotation,” according to the Hong Kong-based newspaper, which cited unnamed sources with knowledge on the matter.
“The net increase was about 100,” the source said. “Some of the rotations planned for last year were delayed because of the [Chinese coronavirus] pandemic and the circumstances in Hong Kong, so there have been more newcomers recently.”
