Topic: Extradition Bill

Hong Kong is facing a massive general strike as protests against a controversial extradition bill enter their third month. Over 100,000 civil servants, including doctors and teachers, have joined the movement, defying government orders to remain impartial. Beijing has released footage of the People's Liberation Army conducting riot drills as a warning, but the unrest shows no signs of dissipating as protesters demand the resignation of Chief Executive Carrie Lam.

Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced the indefinite suspension of a controversial extradition bill following massive street protests involving over a million people. The bill's genesis was reportedly a murder case in Taiwan where a man killed his pregnant girlfriend but could not be extradited. Critics argue the U.S. may be stoking the protests to undermine Chinese authority.
