Hong Kong’s incoming chief executive John Lee is largely “untested and unknown” outside of security issues, said David Dodwell of consultancy Strategic Access.
Lee will begin his five-year term on July 1, taking over from incumbent chief executive Carrie Lam.
"It's a big stretch" to describe Hong Kong's vote as a"genuine election" when comparing it to the Philippines' election, Dodwell said. The people who cast votes are"carefully filtered as patriotic supporters of the government," and the outcome is"hardly surprising," he said. "If you collect surprisingly high opposition votes, that means you're not doing a good job," he said.
