Jackie Lim 林鴻達

Hong Konger Chan Tong-kai (陳同佳), who is suspected of murdering his girlfriend, Poon Hiu-wing (潘曉穎), in Taiwan last year, was released from a Hong Kong prison on Wednesday after serving a short jail sentence on a money laundering charge related to his theft of Poon’s possessions.

The Hong Kong government wanted to force Chan to turn himself in to Taiwanese authorities, but Taipei’s response and its requests to the Hong Kong government were manipulated by the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), whipping up public opinion by accusing Taiwan’s government of allowing the murderer to remain at large.

Hong Kong officially kills extradition bill

Taipei Times

The Hong Kong Legislative Council yesterday formally withdrew planned legislation that would have allowed extraditions to mainland China, but the move was unlikely to end months of unrest, as it met just one of the five demands of pro-democracy protesters.

The rallying cry of the protesters, who have trashed public buildings in the Chinese-ruled territory, set street fires and thrown Molotov cocktails at police, has been “five demands, not one less,” meaning that the withdrawal of the bill makes no difference.
