Joshua Wong pleads guilty to foreign collusion charges
๐ฟ๏ธ The Squirrel's Take
Wong's guilty plea removes any lingering doubt about the regime's willingness to use the National Security Law to crush dissent.
๐ก Why it matters
This conviction sets a precedent for prosecuting activists who seek international pressure, deepening the chilling effect on Hong Kong's remaining pro-democracy voices.
Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong, 29, pleaded guilty on September 2, 2026, to conspiring to seek foreign sanctions against China, a charge under the National Security Law. He is already serving a prison sentence for subversion.
