HONG KONG—Hong Kong’s chief executive Carrie Lam has asked to meet with the city’s university students, her office said on July 4, as the embattled leader tries to fend off pressure from a month-long political crisis.
Protesters stormed the local parliament on the July 1 anniversary of the city’s return to Chinese rule. This followed mass demonstrations last month against Lam’s extradition bill, which critics fear could see Hong Kong citizens being sent for trial in the mainland.
