Joshua Wong is one of the most prominent faces of the 2014 Hong Kong Umbrella Movement—a mass protest lasting two-and-a-half months, where young people stood up for freedom in Hong Kong in the face of mainland Chinese encroachment. Needless to say, Joshua Wong—being a pro-democracy student leader and all—is not on the Chinese Communist Party’s list of Top 10 Faves. What a pain it is that Joshua Wong lives in Hong Kong. The most they could do to him there was getting him sentenced to 80 hours community service for getting people to care about their government.
This other thing other thing that happened to him last year? It had nothing to do with the Chinese regime...that’s provable. I mean, accidents will happen, right?
Like what happened to Kevin Lau in 2014.
