HONG KONG (Reuters) - Former Hong Kong leader Leung Chun-ying on Friday called out banking group HSBC Holdings plc for not making its "stance" clear on China's imposition of a new security law on the city, after the United Kingdom's criticism of the move.

"One week has passed, HSBC still hasn't expressed their stance on the national security legislation," Leung, Hong Kong's chief executive from 2012-2017, wrote in a Facebook post.
