HONG KONG, March 18 (Reuters) - Hong Kong leader John

Lee said on Tuesday his government is opposed to "coercion and

bullying tactics" by foreign governments when asked about

conglomerate CK Hutchison's ( CKHUF ) port deal with U.S. firm

BlackRock ( BLK ).

CK Hutchison ( CKHUF ) said this month it agreed to sell most of its

global $22.8 billion ports business, including assets held along

the strategically important Panama Canal, to a group led by

BlackRock ( BLK ) in a deal that has become politicised.
