US Studies Centre’s James Brown says while the Hong Kong protesters “hasn’t lost any steam”, it is "good to see" them becoming “peaceful” and “orderly” again. Hong Kong protesters have maintained pressure on the government this week by returning to the streets to march for greater rights.
Protesters said it was the last chance for leader Carrie Lam to meet demands for greater political freedom and police accountability. “We have not seen any change in the Beijing government’s policies, or any back down from Carrie Lam or her administration and we are not seeing any significant concessions in the five demands that the protesters want at this stage,” Mr Brown told Sky News on Monday.
