Policy Initiative: Policy Address and Hong Kong

policy initiative: In her annual policy address, Lam also drew a red line as political unrest continues in the city, saying that the government will adhere to one country, two systems and not tolerate acts that threaten China's sovereignty and violate the principle, according to Global Times China. The policy address, coming at a sensitive time when Hong Kong is engulfed in months of violence and in a political impasse, was met with mixed reactions in the city. Photo AFP Hong Kong Special Administrative Region HKSAR Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor on Wednesday announced a slew of policy initiative to address social and economic challenges in the city and urged society to stop attacking each other and return to normalcy for the sake of Hong Kong's future. Some hailed the government's initiatives to address deep-seated social and economic issues while others criticized the speech for falling short of meeting public demand. Some even heckled the chief executive and threw posters at her when she was escorted out of the room. In a show of the depth of the current political impasse in Hong Kong, Lam was disrupted by radical legislators as she tried twice to give the traditional speech at the Legislative Council Leg Co but was forced to deliver it instead by video feed.
