Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam is touting strong public interest in her first community dialogue to be held this week, amid signs that the talks aren’t being well-received by skeptical residents.
In a press conference on Sept. 24, Lam spoke of how over 20,000 people had signed up online for the dialogue to be held this coming Thursday evening. The dialogue is going to be held at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium in Wan Chai. Lam and other officials will attend, along with 150 members of the public to be randomly selected by computer draw.
