Reuters Hong Kong Update: Hong Kong leader kills bill but some say too little too late

HONG KONG (Reuters) - Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam on Wednesday withdrew an extradition bill that triggered months of often violent protests so the Chinese-ruled city can move forward from a "highly vulnerable and dangerous" place and find solutions.

The announcement, live on television, came after Reuters reports on Friday and Monday revealed that Beijing had thwarted an earlier proposal from Lam to withdraw the bill and that she had said privately that she would resign if she could, according to a leaked audio recording.

"Lingering violence is damaging the very foundations of our society, especially the rule of law," Lam said in her address on Wednesday.
