I can't tell you all but among them:

- Using the murder in Taiwan as a pretext to introduce the bill when it could easily have been handled ad hoc with Taiwan.

- Claiming it was a loophole left over by the British when it was very clearly by design.

- Initially refusing to suspend the bill in the face of huge opposition.

- Taking months to fully withdraw the bill and proudly ignoring the protestors.

- Blanket refusing an independent enquiry and unwaveringly supporting police no matter how brutal and unprofessional they've become.

- Seeking permission from Xi to withdraw the bill.

- Introducing an anti-mask law instead of attempting serious reform.

- Threatening internet lock downs instead of attempting serious reform.

- Not criticising the central government for threatening military violence and flagrantly manipulating coverage of HK on the mainland.

Those are just a few that stand out to me though I'm sure there are more I've missed.
