5 major challenges for Hong Kong's new leader Carrie Lam
Lam succeeds her former boss, CY Leung, who chose not to seek a second term and is leaving office with one of the lowest approval ratings of any Hong Kong leader.
According to Hong Kong University's Public Opinion Program (HKUPOP), Lam is entering the job with a comparatively strong rating of 54.0 -- higher than Leung when he got the role -- but she faces a series of major political problems that repeatedly bedeviled her predecessors.
