Hong Kong's leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday she is committed to completing her term despite massive protests calling for her resignation.
She said that if the government, through its continued efforts to communicate with the public on the legislation, fails to gain the confidence of the people, "we will not proceed with the legislative exercise again."
She did not give a timeline on when the suspended bill might be relaunched during her Tuesday address — her first comments since aPressure on Lam had mounted for weeks before Sunday's demonstration that organizers said drew almost 2 million people. Police estimated there were 338,000 protesters, but said it was not a complete count.
