Joshua Wong pleads guilty to foreign collusion charges

🐿️ 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.
💡 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.
