Joshua Wong Pleads Guilty in Second Hong Kong National Security Case
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong pleaded guilty to a second national security case involving conspiracy to collude with foreign forces to impose sanctions against China and Hong Kong. Already serving a prison term of four years and eight months, Wong faces up to life imprisonment. Prosecutors allege he and co-conspirators lobbied US politicians and shared petitions opposing police cooperation. Critics view the case as part of Beijing's crackdown on dissent, while authorities label Wong an anti-China figure supporting Hong Kong independence.
