Hong Kong's leader plans to suspend an extradition bill that had sparked violent protests over Beijing's growing reach in the city
Hong Kong’s leader plans to suspend a contentious extradition bill that sparked violent confrontations between protesters and police, a person familiar with the matter said, signaling a desire to calm public fears over Beijing’s growing reach in the city.
The backdown comes after a week of protests that forced lawmakers to postpone debate of the proposed law, which would allow for the transfer of suspects to China for trial in its more opaque judicial system.
