HONG KONG (AP) — Uncomfortable questions are being raised over who is to blame for Hong Kong’s deadliest blaze in decades.
Some political analysts and observers say the tragedy could be the “tip of an iceberg” in Hong Kong, a city whose skyline is built on high-rise buildings.
“It did open a Pandora’s box,” said John Burns, an honorary professor of politics and public administration at the University of Hong Kong (HKU).
As critics raise questions about government accountability, Hong Kong officials are emphasizing actions they have taken against the contractors, and aid provided to the victims.
“The question for the Hong Kong government is: do they care about what the people think?” Burns said.
