HONG KONG—Chanting “Stand with Hong Kong,” pro-democracy activists on Nov. 28 urged the world to follow U.S. footsteps by passing laws backing human rights in the city, as police teams began a cleanup of a Hong Kong university earlier occupied by demonstrators.
Prominent activist Joshua Wong, who was among democracy supporters who lobbied for the new U.S. laws, called them a “remarkable achievement,” with human rights triumphing over crucial U.S.-China trade talks.
