HONG KONG—Beijing replaced its top representative in protest-racked Hong Kong, marking a toughened approach to resolving tensions that have fueled seven months of antigovernment unrest here. Luo Huining, a former provincial leader recently named as a senior legislative official, has replaced Wang Zhimin as director of the Chinese government’s liaison office in Hong Kong, according to a brief report published Saturday by China’s state-run Xinhua News Agency.
