What leadership does HK need? Former Chief Executive CY Leung on Talking Post with Yonden Lhatoo

CY Leung was Hong Kong chief executive for a single term that ended in 2017. Now, as an elder statesman trusted by Beijing, he has become an active, vocal and influential figure in the city’s affairs. And he has kept everyone guessing as to whether he wants to take another shot at Hong Kong’s top job in a changed political environment after the anti-government protests of 2019.

In this episode of Talking Post, Leung tells SCMP chief news editor Yonden Lhatoo about his views on leadership, Hong Kong’s future and a range of issues including pandemic control, national security and press freedom.
