In Hong Kong, ex-chief of the security services John Lee was appointed the city’s highest administrator on Sunday by a small committee of loyalists. Lee, 64, a former police officer, succeeds outgoing government leader Carrie Lam. Rather, she decided not to pursue a second mandate. The European Union regrets the manner in which Lee has been appointed. “This is another step in dismantling the ‘one country, two systems’ principle,” said the High Representative for European Foreign Policy, Spaniard Josep Borrell.
