Chief Executive Leung Chun-ying’s famously controversial daughter, Chai-yan, offered a glimpse into poor relations with her parents in her debut television appearance on Thursday night, saying they had been locked in disputes on “more than 100” occasions.

The 23-year-old law student came down hard on her parents in the full glare of the media for making “superficial judgments” of her friends.

She conceded being a “troublesome” child, but said she was “filial” deep down in her heart.

“There are many conflicts on the surface, but family is always family,” she told programme host Natalie Mitchell.

[My parents] care much about the superficial factors, like [my friends’] family backgrounds
