In your view they have moved past simply being an anti-extradition bill protest? In other words- if the bill was withdrawn your sentiment is that the protests would continue?

Absolutely, yes. There are now 5 official demands from the movement, one of which is universal suffrage for elections of the Chief Executive (think of it like a Governor) and the legislature. This will never be granted, so the demands will never be met, and the protests will only end when the they're either crushed by violence or by attrition.

Or they win. Though I doubt that will be in the form of their demands being met.
