** 14-Jul-2019 World View: Hong Kong's Carrie Lam has job security -- Chinese style
The pro-democracy, anti-Beijing protests continued on Sunday,
and apparently will continue indefinitely.
One of the demands of the protesters is the Hong Kong leader
Carrie Lam, who was hand-picked by Beijing, must step down.
According to reports, Carrie Lam has offered to resign several
times, but Beijing is refusing to allow her to do so, saying
that it's her responsibility to clean up the "mess" that she
created, so she has to stay in office.
So Carrie Lam is in the enviable situation of having job
security, guaranteed by China's government.
