> Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong pleaded guilty on Wednesday to colluding with foreign entities and faces a lengthy prison sentence. He was arrested in 2021 after taking part in an unofficial poll to choose candidates for the 2020 legislative election. Beijing’s sweeping national security law has effectively outlawed his protest efforts.
