Wall Street Journal Original article ›
LyrArc Article Gist
Carrie Lam's withdrawal of the extradition bill that started the Hong Kong protests is seen as an effort to divide the protesters, separating the activists from the peaceful marchers. Police have taken strong action against activists. The withdrawal of the extradition bill has also received little attention in the Chinese state media.

Legislators who had sought meetings with Carrie Lam in the last few weeks were not given access to her. As a result Lam's decision is seen as not enough to calm protests.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
