Hong Kong leader says cabinet reshuffle is not her immediate task

Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday a cabinet reshuffle was not her immediate task, but rather restoring law and order, as the Chinese-ruled city grapples with more than six months of sometimes violent anti-government protests.

The embattled Lam was speaking two days after the largest anti-government rally in the Asian financial hub since local elections last month gave a resounding show of support for the pro-democracy movement.

On Tuesday, media said Beijing was considering a cabinet reshuffle by the end of the year.
