Hong Kong stock exchange boss Charles Li appointed to HKU governing council


HONG KONG, Nov 2 (SCMP): Hong Kong stock exchange boss Charles Li Xiaojia has been appointed to sit on the University of Hong Kong’s (HKU) governing council, days after the institution’s controversial appointment of two mainland Chinese academics.

Li, 59, who will take up the post on November 1, was tapped by the government for a three-year term on the 24-strong council, filling the vacancy resulting from the death of Edward Chow Kwong-fai, an accountant and member of China’s top political advisory body, in June this year.
