AdvertisementHong Kong's leader announced the government will suspend its unpopular extradition bill after unprecedented mass protests this week. Police officers fire a tear gas during the demonstration against the controversial extradition bill. Anson Chan, a former chief secretary for Hong Kong, said Friday that Lam still could keep her post if she backs down. This would not happen under 'one country, two systems',' he told Reuters, referring to the model under which Hong Kong enjoys semi-autonomy.
