Hong Kong’s Carrie Lam has to serve two masters

Embattle Hong Kong’s Carrie Lum says it is difficult for her to go out.

In less than three months’ time, Hong Kong has been turned upside down, and my life has been turned upside down. But it’s really, I don’t want to cause disruption, inconvenience to the organisers. But as I said, this is not the time for me to self-pity myself. This is out of a good intention, myself and some of my key colleagues to try to plug legal loopholes in Hong Kong’s system, very much prompted by our compassion for a single case, and this has proven to be very unwise given the circumstances.

A week ago, we thought, ‘we’ means the core group within the government with some of our advisers, we thought that we have a relatively peaceful weekend, perhaps that’s the time to start a dialogue with sincerity, with humility, and trying to get some of Hong Kong’s fundamental issues resolved. But whether those Hong Kong sentiments could override the national perspective and the national sentiments?

And also they have commissioned a survey to commemorate this occasion done not by a pro-establishment group but by name redacted, which indicated that confidence in the police after Occupy Central has rebounced to a historic high.

Whether it’s because of the 700-plus arrests that we have made has a bit of deterrent effect, or removed some of these factions, we have not had a full analysis, but we hope that with those efforts we may be able, as I said, I’ll be very honest with you, it would be naïve for me to paint you a rosy picture, that things will be fine or I have a deadline.So we have made special arrangements and there will be a 1st of October National Day celebrations but still having a lot of disruptions.

But after everything has been settled the country will be there to help with maybe positive measures especially in the Greater Bay Area. Maybe she is very, very sick but she is not dead yet. We still have fundamentals here, we still have the nation behind us. Let me just answer your question in a very general way. I know certain factions in society have the feeling that we are not firm and strong enough vis-a-vis these protesters.
