After a postponement of more than a month, Hong Kong’s chief executive Carrie Lam delivered her annual policy address yesterday, which lasted a record-breaking 2 and a quarter hours, setting out plans for the coming year before a Legislative Council which contained no opposition lawmakers. She pledged to double government efforts to bring the Covid-19 epidemic under control, revive the economy, and restore social order. A major theme of the address was integration with the mainland, and she launched a HK$430 million Greater Bay Area Youth Employment Scheme. She urged Hong Kong young people to look north to “broaden the scope for realizing their dreams” warning that Hong Kong may not be the best place for its youth.
