A Hong Konger activist has called for the youth of Hong Kong to get involved with democracy and to face the realities of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) if they want universal suffrage and real democracy.

Elmer Yuen—also known as “Papa Yuen"—an entrepreneur and political commentator who gained widespread respect in the pro-democracy Hong Kong community after the 2019 anti-extradition protests, told “Hong Kong’s Way Out” conference that an election-based parliamentary system is the foundation of any modern democracy.
