Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam insists the decision to withdraw the extradition bill was hers, not Beijing's

Hong Kong's Chief Executive Carrie Lam insists the decision to propose, suspend and ultimately withdraw a contentious extradition law amendment bill was made by her and her government, not the central Chinese government in Beijing.  Lam made the remarks in a press conference on September 5, 2019, the morning after she announced she would withdraw the bill which has sparked nearly three months of protests that often turned violent.
