Won't face difficulties...yeah, we'll see about that. That depends a lot on whether Beijing grants him room to move around in ordering which way the Lam government goes.Original Post Deleted

Anyhow, Hail Luo Huining! Our new glorious and improved handler!
At least some of you precious people here appreciate the efforts taken.Thank you. But, while I barely managed to save my scalp from the popo, folks who know about my existence haven't been too happy. I'm tired of listening to threats and long lectures. At least mine is just verbal lashing. A lot out there (esp. those younger than 18) are physically assaulted by their parents as a "punishment". Punishment for trying to participate in a movement that will construct your future - your nation? I have never been so politically and socially conscious. Thanks once again to Carrie for giving me this golden opportunity. An eye opener ir is.
But then regarding his replacement:"[Wang] did not inform Beijing correctly what was going on here. He misled them [the Central Government] and made them think that the protests here had only minority support, that the violence had minority support, and that the pro-government parties would win the district council elections," O'Neill said.
Luo, his replacement, previously served as governor of Qinghai province, and was also appointed to senior Communist Party positions in Qinghai and Shanxi provinces, according to state-run China Daily.
His Hong Kong appointment comes a week after he was made vice-chairman of Financial and Economic Affairs Committee of the National People’s Congress, China’s national legislature, according to China Daily.It just goes to show the local government and our overlords in Beijing don't really have any interest in listening to or understanding the Hong Kong people and their grievances. If Wang Zhimin, who prior to his appointment had already been working in the liaison office was so oblivious to our concerns and the opinion of the majority, then how could some hot shot from far up north, likely completely unfamiliar with Cantonese culture and language, have any sense of helping, reading, understanding, or communicating about our city?"I think it doesn't matter for a high-ranking official, even though he does not have such a background, he can handle the job. Also, he will have several deputy directors to help him with his work," Tam said.
Even if Beijing wants to sway Hong Kong in their interest, then they need to understand where Hong Kong is coming from. This appointment suggests to me that they simply think they can rule by "power" (whatever that is).
