The figure is even more impressive given that the protest occurred after Hong Kong chief executive Carrie Lam issued a formal government apology, through a statement from the government written in the third person, and assured those concerned in Hong Kong that the legislature would table the extradition bill.
Sunday’s protesters rejected the apology and demanded Lam’s resignation and an irreversible end to the extradition bill.
The CHRF called Lam’s apology a “total insult” and vowed to continue protesting until the legislature dismisses the bill entirely. Tabling the bill makes it possible for the legislature to pick it up and pass it again at any time, a concern many protesters expressed.

ReplyDeleteWhat is really impressive in this was no real fights or property damage.
ReplyDeleteThe communists of mainland China will never allow Hong Kong total independence. The upstarts will be put down hard.
