Some of BYD’s difficulties are tied to its own strategic choices. Its “Go...

With just 15 months remaining in the Hong Kong government’s current term, the newly appointed secretary for constitutional and mainland affairs faces a vital challenge during her short but important tenure. Janice Tse Siu-wa is tasked with crafting the city’s first five-year development plan in step with the country’s blueprint. For a veteran civil servant pulled out of retirement and with relatively little exposure to mainland affairs, it is a daunting mission. Tse was picked because of her...
