OREANDA-NEWS. The central authorities of China have created a crisis headquarters for monitoring, meetings and resolving the situation in Hong Kong, where protests have not subsided for the sixth month. As Reuters reported, citing its own sources, the command post is located in a villa in Shenzhen.

According to the agency, Beijing is considering replacing Wang Zhimin as head of the Chancellery of the Central People’s Government in this special administrative region of the PRC, as he is dissatisfied with the effectiveness of the decisions to resolve the crisis. "The office deals with the rich and the propeckin’s elite and isolated itself from ordinary people. This needs to be fixed", the agency’s source said.

According to regional experts, the development of the situation in the former British enclave and the inability of the authorities to resolve the protracted crisis is causing increasing concern in Beijing. In particular, the results of the Sunday elections of deputies of district councils in Hong Kong, which were won by opposition candidates, caused serious irritation to the central authorities of the PRC.
