HONG KONG - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday she had never asked the Chinese government to let her resign to end the Chinese-ruled city’s political crisis, responding to a Reuters report about a recording of her saying she would step down if she could.
“I have not even contemplated discussing a resignation with the central people’s government. The choice of resigning, it’s my own choice,” Lam said. It also said some Western politicians had been bending over backwards to support separatists in Hong Kong and that its status as a Chinese territory was not up for discussion.
But Lam said on Tuesday that her government had the confidence of Beijing and could bring an end to unrest itself. “I think Carrie Lam doesn’t have much power,” said Poon, a 21-year-old engineering student at Hong Kong University.
