> Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee on September 16 released the territory’s first five-year plan before delivering his final policy address, with lawmakers set to debate the two documents together for the first time. The plan aligns Hong Kong with China’s national development blueprint, prioritizes the Northern Metropolis and stresses finance, innovation, livelihoods and national security education. One commentator called it a “paradigm shift” toward a socialist market economy with Chinese characteristics.
