And the reason for the initial bill was due to a Hong Kong citizen murdering his girlfriend in Taiwan.
Taiwan and Hong Kong do not have extradition treaties.
The murderer is still free in Hong Kong.
- bobthepanda 6y agoI mean this was never going to happen anyways because cross-strait relations are fickle and perilous at the best of times, and Taiwan has specifically said that it does not really want to participate in extradition with HK after the whole fiasco. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/15/world/asia/hong-kong-murder-taiwan-extradition.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/06/15/world/asia/hong-kong-murd... The rational response to "hey the country who originally requested the extradition doesn't want to do it anymore" would be to shelve the bill, but at that point the Government and CCP wanted to save face and dug in their heels. Which makes the whole situation an extremely stupid case study of how not to de-escalate a situation.
