Hong Kong residents returned to the streets on Sunday, carrying white flowers and angry at the death of a young protester

, but not its withdrawal, ignoring calls for her to step down.

By 8.30pm, as the crowd continued to march, Lam issued a statement apologising to the Hong Kong people and vowing to humbly accept all criticism. Tai, 17, was marching with a large group of classmates from her school carrying white flowers and said she had heard the protester had committed suicide. News reports said the fall appeared to have been an accident as firefighters sought to assist him. They had placed a large inflatable cushion on the road below.

"It's true the extradition bill was not pushed by Beijing in the first place, but it gave an opportunity to the US government to hammer Hong Kong, China and Beijing. This will take the pressure off China for an issue that is not material to the CCP."Bland says China is already dealing with the Trump trade war and Huawei's ban by US allies and these issues are more significant for Beijing.

'It's madness': Hong Kong police say they're 'trapped in the middle' amid unprecedented unrestSenior Hong Kong police officers say a significant number of officers blame the city's chief executive Carrie Lam for violent clashes with Hongkongers protesting against contentious extradition laws. This is what it looks like when an autocratic state comes up against a democratically free people. It’s only the beginning as China grows in power without reforming. 'in the middle' but there is no body behind them , they could turn around and occupy the building then demand a resolution. Countless ABCnews articles on protests in Hong Kong over the past few days. Police there even used tear gas. 😱 In the meantime, another medic, shot by Israeli troops, died from his wounds. More than 300 killed at Gaza protests, is MIA. Bias
