It’s harvest time for Carrie Lam, via FT:
Pro-democracy campaigners have warned China that its move to ditch Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s embattled leader, was unlikely to end the protests that have engulfed the territory.
Beijing is drawing up plans to replace Ms Lam, with an “interim” chief executive possibly as early as March, after five months of sometimes violent demonstrations against her rule, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday. If the plan is enacted, Ms Lam’s successor would serve the remaining years of her term, which ends in 2022.
