Beijing’s top man in Hong Kong to brief officials, lawmakers on ‘spirit’ of China’s ‘two sessions’
- Zheng Yanxiong, director of central government’s liaison office in Hong Kong, is expected to offer key takeaways from last month’s ‘two sessions’ in Beijing
- Chief Executive John Lee will preside over the seminar at government headquarters on Tuesday
Beijing’s top man in Hong Kong will brief city officials and lawmakers on the “spirit” of the country’s annual parliamentary meetings in a closed-door seminar on Tuesday, the Post has learned.
Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu will preside over the seminar, to be held at the government headquarters in Tamar, with senior officials and lawmakers taking part, according to a government insider.
The source said the seminar was being held nearly a month after the end of the two sessions, or lianghui, because the government and Legislative Council were previously busy with the city’s domestic national security law.
“We finally made the time after the previous busy schedule,” the insider said.
Several Hong Kong NPC and CPPCC delegates had asked to leave the meetings in Beijing to attend the bill scrutiny sessions in Legco.
