Unrest In Hong Kong During Anti-Government Protests

HONG KONG, CHINA - SEPTEMBER 03: Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam speaks to the media during a press conference at the Central Government Offices on September 3, 2019 in Hong Kong, China. Lam addressed questions surrounding a leaked recording of a closed-door meeting with business leaders where she is heard apologizing for the "unforgivable havoc" caused by her attempts to introduce the extradition bill. Pro-democracy protesters have continued demonstrations across Hong Kong since 9 June against a controversial bill which allows extraditions to mainland China as the ongoing protests, many ending up in violent clashes with the police, surpassed the Umbrella Movement five years ago, becoming the biggest political crisis since Britain handed its onetime colony back to China in 1997.
