First visit for Carrie Lam to Beijing after disastrous election defeat - dw.com

Hong Kong's chief executive arrived in Beijing, her first visit since the dramatic defeat of the pro-establishment bloc in recent local elections. Speculation is growing that Lam will be asked to step down.

Carrie Lam, Hong Kong's chief executive, arrived in Beijing on Saturday, marking her first visit to China's capital since her party suffered a severe blow in Hong Kong's elections last month.

During the chief executive's annual duty visit to Beijing, Lam is set to discuss the political and economic situation of Hong Kong with Chinese government officials and sit down with China's President Xi Jinping on Monday.

Lam's visit comes amid nearly yearlong protests and unrest led by pro-democracy activists, which have left the economy reeling.



Her latest visit has prompted speculation of a change in leadership after Lam's pro-establishment bloc suffered a major upset in local elections that saw a landslide win for pro-democracy parties.

There were further pro-democracy and anti-inequality protests on Sunday last week that saw thousands take to the streets.

Lam stresses 'open dialogue' only on Censored Chinese Internet

Lam stressed the importance of an open dialogue between community and officials in a post on social media platform Facebook on Saturday morning.

She said her governing team would continue to pursue "different formats of dialogue to listen to citizens sincerely" and that "our sincerity to have dialogue with citizens has not changed."

Just this week, Lam said a cabinet reshuffle was not an "immediate task" after the election defeat and she would focus her efforts on restoring law and order in Hong Kong.

How often does Carrie Lam travel to Beijing?

Lam last met with Xi at the start of November when he gave her his backing.

Hong Kong's chief executive meets annually with Chinese officials after the territory was handed back to Beijing in 1997 following the end of British colonial rule.

Hong Kong operates under China's one country, two systems principle, which allows it a greater degree of freedom to administrate its own affairs. A recent clean-up effort by the Chinese military on the streets of Hong Kong after a period of severe unrest between protesters and police sparked speculation of increased Chinese intervention in the special administrative area.
