Hong Kong leader says sudden removal of China's top official in the city was normal
HONG KONG: Hong Kong's leader said on Tuesday (June 3) that China's recent removal of its top representative in the city, known for his hardline policies on national security, had been a "normal" personnel change. In a surprise development, China announced late on Friday that Zheng Yanxiong (pic), the director of China's Liaison Office in Hong Kong - Beijing's main representative office in the city with powerful oversight over local affairs - had been "removed" from his post. He was replaced by Zhou Ji, a senior official with the Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office on the State Council. Zheng, who played a key role in the crackdown on Hong Kong's democratic movement in recent years, was also stripped of his role as China's national security adviser on a committee overseeing national security in Hong Kong. No explanation by Beijing or Chinese state media was given for the change. According to a person with knowledge of the matter, Hong Kong-based conglomerate CK Hutchison's proposed sale of its global port network to a consortium initially led by US firm Blackrock had caught senior Chinese leaders "by surprise" as they had not been informed beforehand and Zheng was partly blamed for that. The person, who has spoken with the liaison office, declined to be identified as the discussions were confidential. The Liaison Office gave no immediate response to faxed questions from Reuters. Zheng had served in the post since January 2023 and while the position has no fixed term, his tenure was shorter than predecessors including Luo Huining and Zhang Xiaoming. "The change of the Liaison office director is I believe, as with all changes of officials, very normal," Lee told reporters during a weekly briefing, without being drawn on reasons for the reshuffle. "Director Zheng has spent around five years (in Hong Kong). Hong Kong was going through a transition period of chaos to order," Lee said, referring to the months-long pro-democracy protests that erupted across Hong Kong in 2019 while adding that he looked forward to working with Zhou. CK Hutchison's ports deal has been criticised in Chinese state media as "betraying" China's interests and bowing to US political pressure. The conglomerate, controlled by tycoon Li Ka-shing, agreed in March to sell the majority of its US$22.8 billion global ports business, including assets along the strategically significant Panama Canal, to the consortium. The consortium is now being led by another member - Terminal Investment Limited, which is majority-owned by Italian billionaire Gianluigi Aponte's family-run MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company. The deal is still being negotiated. Asked whether Zheng's removal reflected a pivot by Beijing towards economic development from national security, Lee said Hong Kong still needed to pursue both. "Hong Kong faces a stage where development and safety must be addressed at the same time because any development must have a safe environment." China promulgated a powerful national security law in 2020, arresting scores of opposition democrats and activists, shuttering liberal media outlets and civil society groups and punishing free speech with sedition - moves that have drawn international criticism. - Reuters

Asian markets rise as traders eye possible Trump-Xi talks
HONG KONG, June 3 — Asian stocks rallied Tuesday as investors kept tabs on developments in the China-US trade war amid speculation the countries' leaders will hold talks soon. After a period of relative calm on the tariff front, Donald Trump at the weekend accused Beijing of violating last month's deal to slash huge tit-for-tat levies and threatened to double tolls on steel and aluminium. The moves jolted Asian markets on Monday, but hopes that the US president will speak with Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping — possibly this week — has given investors some hope for a positive outcome. Meanwhile, oil prices extended Monday's surge on a weak dollar and Ukraine's strike on Russian bombers parked deep inside the country that stoked geopolitical concerns as well as stuttering US-Iran nuclear talks. Trump has expressed confidence that a talk with Xi could ease trade tensions, even after his latest volley against the Asian superpower threatened their weeks-old tariff truce. 'They violated a big part of the agreement we made,' he said Friday. 'But I'm sure that I'll speak to President Xi, and hopefully we'll work that out.' It is unclear if Xi is keen on a conversation — the last known call between them was in the days before Trump's inauguration in January — but the US president's economic adviser Kevin Hassett signalled on Sunday that officials were anticipating something this week. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent — who last week warned negotiations with China were 'a bit stalled' — said at the weekend the leaders could speak 'very soon'. Officials from both sides are set for talks on the sidelines of an Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) ministerial meeting in Paris on Wednesday. While there has been no movement on the issue, investors took the opportunity on Tuesday to pick up recently sold shares. Hong Kong gained more than one per cent while Shanghai returned from a long weekend on the front foot. There were also gains in Tokyo, Sydney, Wellington, Singapore, Taipei and Manila. Seoul was closed for a presidential election. Deals queued up? The advances followed a positive day on Wall Street led by tech giants in the wake of a forecast-beating earnings report from chip titan Nvidia. Still, National Australia Bank's Rodrigo Catril remained nervous after Trump's latest salvos. 'The lift in tariffs is creating another layer of uncertainty and tension,' he wrote in a commentary. 'European articles suggest the lift in tariffs doesn't bode well for negotiations with the region (and) UK steelmakers call Trump doubling tariffs 'another body blow',' he added. 'The steel and aluminium tariffs also apply to Canada, so they will likely elicit some form of retaliation from there and while US-China trade negotiations are deteriorating due to rare earth, student visas and tech restrictions, steel tariffs will also affect China.' Separately, US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Monday voiced optimism for a trade deal with India 'in the not too distant future', adding that he was 'very optimistic'. And Japanese trade point man Ryosei Akazawa is eyeing another trip to Washington for more negotiations amid speculation of a deal as early as this month. Also in focus is Trump's signature 'big, beautiful bill' that is headlined by tax cuts slated to add up to US$3 trillion (RM12.7 trillion) to the nation's debt. Senators have started weeks of what is certain to be fierce debate over the mammoth policy package, which partially covers an extension of Trump's 2017 tax relief through budget cuts projected to strip health care from millions of low-income Americans. Oil prices extended Monday's surge that saw West Texas Intermediate briefly jump five per cent on concerns about an escalation of the Russia-Ukraine conflict and suggestions Washington could hit Moscow with stricter sanctions. That compounded news that the Opec+ producers' grouping had agreed a smaller-than-expected increase in crude production. Traders were also monitoring tensions over Iran's nuclear programme after Tehran said it would not accept an agreement that deprives it of what it calls 'peaceful activities'. — AFP

(AP pic) HONG KONG : Chinese stocks listed in Hong Kong slipped to near a one-month low today and the offshore yuan weakened as renewed China-US tariff tensions weighed on sentiment. Tensions between the world's two biggest economies flared again after US President Donald Trump on Friday accused Beijing of violating the consensus reached in May's Geneva talks. Today, China's commerce ministry rebuked Trump, calling his comments 'groundless,' and promising to take 'forceful measures' to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index, which tracks mainland companies listed in Hong Kong, declined 0.9% to the lowest since May 6, while Hong Kong's benchmark Hang Seng Index slipped 0.6%. The offshore yuan weakened slightly to per dollar, trimming earlier losses during Asian trading hours, while the Hong Kong dollar hovered near the weaker end of its 7.75-7.85 per dollar trading band. Mainland markets are closed for the Dragon Boat Festival and will resume trading tomorrow. The declines today were across the board, with the Hang Seng Tech Index losing 0.7%, property sub index declining 1.4% and healthcare sector sliding nearly 2%. Among the biggest laggards, local property firm New World Development plunged 6.9% to near a two-month low after it deferred coupon payments. Car makers continued the slide amid ongoing price war concerns. Shares of Li Auto and Nio both lost more than 2%, while BYD weakened 1.9%. Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping will speak soon to iron out trade issues including a dispute over critical minerals, treasury secretary Scott Bessent said over the weekend.
