This Sunday, Hong Kong voters are heading to the polls for their second legislative election since the 2021 electoral overhaul, which effectively removed the pro-democracy opposition. This vote comes less than two weeks after a devastating fire that claimed the lives of at least 159 people. The election results may provide insights into public sentiment regarding the government's management of this tragic event, serving as a crucial test of their handling of the crisis. Details by FRANCE 24 correspondent in Beijing, Jan Camenzind Broomby.
