Former Hong Kong Chief Secretary Carrie Lam declares her victory in the chief executive election of Hong Kong in Hong Kong, Sunday, March 26, 2017. A Hong Kong committee has chosen the government’s former No. A committee dominated by pro-Beijing elites selected Carrie Lam, Hong Kong’s former No. Those fears have been amplified by several cases in recent years, including the secret detention on the mainland of five Hong Kong booksellers and a Chinese tycoon’s suspected abduction in Hong Kong by mainland security agents. Members of the Hong Kong election committee include tycoons like Li Ka-shing, Hong Kong’s richest person.
