No Connection Between Public Approval and Cabinet Change

The cabinet of the Carrie Lam Administration was rigorously reshuffled just as the ravages of coronavirus pandemic gradually curtailed in Hong Kong. Among 3 ministries and 13 policy bureaux, 4 Principal Officials were let go and 1 redeployed.

None of these changes were described to be linked with the anti-extraditionaw movement. Surprisingly, the public approval of the ousted ministers were much higher than those remain in the cabinet.

4 Chiefs being replaced:
1. Civil Service chief, Joshua Law
2. Home Affairs Secretary, Lau Kong-wah
3. Innovation and Technology Bureau head, Nicholas Yang
4. Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, James Lau 

Newly Appointed Chiefs:
1. Civil Service Bureau, Patrick Nip
2. Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs, Erick Tsang
3. Innovation and Technology bureau, Alfred Sit
4. Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury, Christopher Hui
5. Secretary for Home Affairs, Caspar Tsui

Cabinet split grows over China’s role in UK’s electric car industry

A growing cabinet split has developed over China’s role in the UK electric car supply chain as the government wrestles over how to handle economic ties to the superpower, The Independent can reveal.

Senior Conservatives fear the UK is “falling into a trap” by handing over sensitive aspects of its “green industrial revolution” to a regime that threatens British security.

MPs who have sought to raise these concerns have found they are increasingly isolated, with the prime minister suggesting such fears are overblown, according to those familiar with the discussions.
