Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam is set to withdraw the China extradition bill that sparked months of protests
HONG KONG—Chief Executive Carrie Lam is set to withdraw the widely unpopular China extradition bill that sparked a tumultuous summer of unrest in the city, two people familiar with the matter said.
The concession will meet one of five demands from the opposition movement and is likely aimed at weakening support for the protests from the wider population, though it isn't clear how successful the move will be in reducing the tensions that have gripped the city for three months.
