China has appointed Zheng Yanxiong, head of the national security office in Hong Kong, as director of its Liaison Office in the city, the State Council, or cabinet, said in a notice on Saturday.
Zheng, who replaces Luo Huining, 68, as head of Beijing's top representative office in Hong Kong, is among the Chinese and Hong Kong officials sanctioned by the United States after the city's pro-democracy protests in 2019.
