HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying is facing fresh uncertainty over the political support he has from China after his campaign manager and close ally quit the cabinet last month because of a police investigation into his commodities trading business.
It was the latest in a series of scandals to hit Leung since he took office last July in a move orchestrated by Beijing. In other embarrassments, his development minister has been arrested, there have been mass public protests against the government and opponents have attempted to impeach him.
