HONG KONG - Embattled Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam said on Tuesday she hopes a non-violent weekend protest that saw hundreds of thousands take to the streets in an anti-government rally was the beginning of efforts to restore peace in the Chinese-ruled city. Sunday’s protest was the calmest since the latest demonstrations against perceived creeping Beijing influence in the former British colony escalated in mid-June.

She's a dead meat already, sold to China commies.
Carrie Lam just complies with all demands of protesters and the protests caused by her will be gone.
Maybe if she would relent that would lead to peace? It's the one political issue where there isn't a split on how people feel about it. I'm sure literally everyone but the Chinese regime would be happy if they just cancelled the extradition proposal
Then stop orchestrating the violence.
Please resign, HongKong people deserve a vote.
She needs to support her people and not Winnie!
I fully support the leadership of Carrie Lam!
Yes, violence solves nothing! Did not MLK, Ghandi, Bobby Kennedy and the like teach us anything? Peace offers a better future.
Just resign, Hong Kong back to peaceful place,
Hey Lam, Can you do the WORLD a FAVOR and Get the HELL out from Hong Kong. As soon as you run for the Chinese border with your Chinese BODYGUARDS things will begin to IMPROVE in Hong Kong. The people of the Country Hong Kong CANNOT TOLERATE your sight.
Not bad from the person that has caused it by laying down to China,she should enjoy the perks of the job as i think she will be out ASAP.
Not being incredibly oppressive would put it on the road to peace.
Work hard on it
We fulfilled ur demand which is the protest should be going on peacefully. What about our demands?
Then please resign immediately.
Do you hear the people sing? Singing a song of angry men? It is the music of a people Who will not be slaves again! When the beating of your heart Echoes the beating of the drums There is a life about to start When tomorrow comes! Will you join in our crusade?
Why can’t she withdraw the bill, agree to an independent inquiry into the whole mess? Sorry, but she’s got a long way to go to restore any credibility for her & the administration & the police hkprotests antielab standwithhk
That’s up to you!
She is the cause of violence obviously.
Don’t shed crocodile tears to please the censored mainland Chinese people.
Empty words - you peace is to send thugs overnight to attack youngsters with knives. Will the thugs/plain clothes be charged or set free. Who is behind?
No turning back for you liao, please step down.
Current Hong Kong leader hopes for a non-violent communist takeover
She is the reason of why HK society cannot get to its own peace
Show some compassion. She is not permitted to resign, a real rock and a hard place for any politician.
What the hell does that mean?
we hope you get lost right away
