Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday she will not hand pick judges to preside over cases brought under the city's new security law, an apparent attempt to assuage concerns about the controversial legislation.

“When one day there is national security cases, the responsibility to assign which judge on that list to handle a case still lies on the judiciary of Hong Kong,” Lam told reporters on Tuesday. “The Executive is not responsible for that.” China says the national security law, which is expected to be passed next week, will target only a small group of troublemakers as it tackles separatism, subversion, terrorism and foreign interference in Hong Kong.

Does she realize that she is only a puppet to CCP? She doesn’t get to choose anything.

hmm.......🤔

Another encroachment, another aggression, another neglect of Int'l Law... China has done it all. ChinaVsTheworld

yeah, she will just let the Chinese pick those for her. HKisGonetotheDogs

She has a mean soul

She is a puppet on a string. Who will believe her?

a lying puppet

Is a promise a promise, if there isn't any mechanism to check? The government faces literally no consequence when it breaks a promise. And the communist has a great track record to break things, violate rules, reinvent constitution.

NMSL=No More Soul Lost……😞

Of course not, the mainland will do that 🤬

That’s because the central government in Beijing will do it.

She should live in Beijing and stay not in Hong Kong

Of course she won't. Xi will pick the judges

Who will? Xi?

She will pick them with her feet instead.
