You got problems with CNN, BBC, SCMP, DW, Channel 4, ABC? So, CGTN is your reliable news?
The protesters didn't ask for Carrie Lam's head until later. Carrie just suspended the extradition bill after massive protest. They asked for the bill to be removed but Carrie wouldn't. Then the HK police started to be more brutal. That's when the protesters want her to step down.
Carrie got herself into this shit ...she could have removed the bill, instead of suspending. She could have ask the police to act with restraints ...nope, she had the police used excessive force to intimidate the protesters.
You are peddling Ah Tiong's propaganda - claiming that protesters are guided by foreigners.
If the protesters are seeking independence, then thank China for it. Ah Tiong just couldn't wait for 2048 to take over. Instead, using its puppets in HK, it wanted to breach the terms of the OCTS agreement.
HK Police blocked all protestors on Saturday and Sunday after the arrests of the activists on Friday. It is obvious to all except for the Ah Tiong supporters like you that the HK Police have been raising the ante. Lives will be lost eventually and that is because Ah Tiong don't give a damn about HK.
