HONG KONG—Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said Tuesday people opposing a China-backed plan for universal coronavirus testing are politically motivated and aim to sabotage Hong Kong’s relationship with China.

China has offered technology and expertise to test the Hong Kong public for coronavirus infections and help screen for asymptomatic patients starting next month, at her administration’s request, Lam said.
