The announcement earlier today by the Chief Executive of HK SAR is basically a spin, aiming to confuse the uninformed public and foreign press / governments.
That announcement merely said that they will make a "motion" for the Legislative Council, which is dominated by the pro-government legislators and "appointees," to consider the "formal withdrawal" in the next session in the Fall. According to the proper legislative procedure, it's totally unnecessary and misleading (even in violation of the established procedure, according to a lawyer). Back in 2003, the then highly controversial "National Security bill" was withdrawn immediately by the then CE, after 500,000 Hongkongers marched to the streets in protest, without such twist and turn...
The other three so-called "actions" are essentially farce, without any use, sincerity, or effectiveness to address the five main demands by the protesters, who in the last three months marched out to the streets in the millions multiple times, as well as physical confrontations with the police force, met with brutal suppression and lawless practices...
