Around 2 million people gathered on the streets of Hong Kong Island today to protest the controversial anti-extradition bill that was proposed recently by city leader Carrie Lam. In her carefully worded phrase “postponed indefinitely”, Lam insinuates that the bill has been dropped due to public outrage. I’d like to take a moment to clarify that the Chinese version states that it is “suspended temporarily” and not postponed indefinitely. The translation trick was used to satisfy readers in the west, and with intent to retain relationships with foreign investors.
To find out more about these incidents, read CNN, News24, SCMP, and Time. 🇭🇰
