Hong Kong has endured seven months of violent protests, driven mainly by the youth, that have taken their toll on the retail sector and tourism, and dragged the economy into its first recession in a decade. Chief Executive Carrie Lam has announced a welfare package of HK$10bil, focusing on the city’s more vulnerable people, but Chan suggested on Saturday that the government might have to cut back on other relief measures such as tax rebates because of the general increase in spending.
