The Shadow Watchers of Beijing's Hong Kong Office The latest shuffle at the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office brings a new face to its senior ranks, but it's not about who's sitting in which chair – it's about what this means for the city's fragile autonomy.
Hua Liebing, a 59 year old history graduate from Shandong University, has been appointed head of the discipline inspection and supervision group at the HKMAO.
Hua brings no known experience with Hong Kong affairs to the table, raising questions about his qualifications for this role.
