Name names. Which politicians, specifically, have stood in the way of federal action to end QI?

As a layman in the U.S. I feel like the reasons for the protest are clear. Everyone is saying that there is no stated objective or shared, specific goal. But I feel like it's obvious why there is so much outpouring of anger, so please correct me if my analysis is incorrect.

The extradition bill and police response to dissent just precipitated a more deep-seated anguish: the knowledge that Hong Kong's autonomy and self-governance are soon coming to an end.

It's the realization that their China is encroaching on their Democracy and will soon subsume it which underlies everything. There is no stated objective because people are simply angry and scared for the future of their Democracy, and rightly so. The bill just catalyzed these fears.

Am I wrong?

Edit: Corrected error

NDA for a televised public hearing?

There is nothing the government can do, that's my point. There are no demands that can be made here. Carrie Lam's resignation and the withdrawal of of extradition bill won't forestall the impending doom that the territory faces. It's going to be swallowed up soon regardless of what happens today. The "demands" are just a deck-chair-rearranging measure, and the protests are a raw demonstration of anger.

Helena mayor is already running.
