Hong Kong’s incoming leader John Lee Ka-chiu is expected to meet Chinese Vice-Premier Han Zheng on Monday to discuss a range of key issues including government restructuring, housing and national security, the Post has learned.

Apart from Premier Li Keqiang and President Xi Jinping, Lee is also likely to meet Minister of Public Security Zhao Kezhi, who is also the deputy chief of the Communist Party’s leading group on Hong Kong and Macau affairs, sources have said.

Political analyst Song Sio-chong, an academic from Shenzhen University’s Centre for Basic Laws of Hong Kong and Macau, on Sunday said Lee and Han were likely to have a long and in-depth discussion about the city’s future.
