     Mr Lau first met with the Chairman of the Wan Chai District Council (WCDC), Mr Stephen Ng; the Vice-chairman of the WCDC, Dr Jennifer Chow; and other WCDC members to exchange views on issues of concern, including the impact of the trade conflict between China and the United States and taxation matters in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.
 
     He then visited the Secondary Section of Rosaryhill School, where he was briefed by the principal on the teaching and learning at the school. He also chatted with a group of students, including ethnic minority students, and watched their performance. Mr Lau said he appreciated their efforts to participate in extra-curricular activities to develop personal interests while pursuing academic goals at the same time.
