Hong Kong Chief Executive candidate Henry Tang pledged to boost government spending to tackle a widening wealth gap as he sought to reverse a slump in public support ahead of this month’s election.
The former chief secretary said in an interview yesterday he will expand public housing by a further 60 percent in five years, spend HK$6 billion ($774 million) annually more on schools, and create 100,000 jobs for the middle class should he win election on March 25.
