Hong Kong’s leader criticized media who published her comments in a private meeting and joked that a law might be needed to curb such reporting — comments that are likely to fan concerns about the city’s press freedom.
Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam said on a radio talk show Friday that a two-year-old report on comments she made to a closed-door meeting of businesspeople in 2019 “showed the integrity and the morality of some of the media.” She added that the “media should not have reported something that was given in that fashion.”
