Hong Kong protests slow down in aftermath of local elections as anti-Beijing demonstrators plan their next move
Medical personnel leave Hong Kong Polytechnic University following a news conference where university staff announced they had not found any protesters left on campus on November 27, 2019.
University search teams resumed a sweep of the Hong Kong Polytechnic campus for a second day for any protesters still holding out, although officials said it’s unlikely anyone else remains. On Tuesday, one person was found — a young woman in weak condition. “Carrie Lam is the goddess of democracy. She has single-handedly motivated and galvanized us to fight for democracy,” an activist, who only gave her name as Tham, said mockingly during a Tuesday night rally at the Tsim Sha Tsui district.
Lam said she hopes to resume her community dialogue and will set up an independent review committee to find solutions to deep-seated societal issues. Some analysts said that China’s ruling Communist Party isn’t likely to soften its stand on Hong Kong, but that it is treading cautiously amid trade talks with the United States. It also faces pressure from planned US legislation that could derail Hong Kong’s special trade status and sanction Hong Kong and China officials found to violate human rights.
