A U.S. senator has expressed concerns about Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam’s intention when she said that a controversial extradition bill was “dead” but refused to withdraw it.
The bill, which has drawn some of the city’s largest-ever protests, would allow any country, including mainland China, to seek extradition of criminal suspects. Responding to public pressure, on June 16, Lam had announced that the bill would be indefinitely suspended.
