The Beijing-appointed leader of Hong Kong, Leung Chun-ying, said Monday evening that it was unacceptable to allow his successors to be chosen in open elections, in part because doing so would risk giving poorer residents a dominant voice in politics.
Mr.
Leung made the statement during a broad-ranging defense of his
administration’s handling of pro-democracy protests that have disrupted
the city for more than three weeks.
