HONG KONG, July 9 — Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said today the extradition bill that sparked the territory's biggest political crisis in decades was dead, admitting that the government's work on the bill had been a “total failure.”
The bill, which would have allowed people in Hong Kong to be sent to mainland China to face trial, sparked huge and at times violent street protests and plunged the former British colony into turmoil.



In mid-June Lam responded to huge protests by suspending the bill, but that move failed to mollify critics, who continued to demonstrate against the bill and call for Lam's resignation.

Nothing will change until Carrie the Chicom 奴才 is removed.

I think the Hongkies are smart enough to see through the ruse.

I am a big fan of carrie. Her intention was good as there were safeguards to prevent abuse of the extradition bill.but as it is summer holidays, students took the street as tgey have nothing else to do.

Carrie Lam is as bright and learned as can be. She is a tough and driven leader and not some China-puppet as many of her enemies would want the world to believe.
The students are just plain silly and naive. Carrie Lam is the best HK leader so far. None of her predecessors can hold a candle to her face.

Wrong. It was the teacher's union. Not only do they encourage students to protest, they entices those unwilling by offering full credits and "A" grades for attending rallies. The teachers are exploiting the youths and their gullibility, believing that police and government will be lenient to the students. These cowards then hide among the student and inflict the worst damage they could to public properties.

I say round them up, ship them to China and jail them until they rot and die.

They need good english teachers in malaysia. If these teachers can make students speak like Carrie Lam, they will be valued.

Carrie Lam is stupid. She should realized that the true agenda is not the extradition bill. Yet she gave in to the mob and for this, she will lose her standing with the PRC government.

On the bill itself

1. Hong Kong is expanding the extradition treaty to 127 countries (which includes China) instead of the current 19.
2. There are only 37 crimes that will allow extradition to be requested; with the jail term of >7 years
