Hong Kong Activist Joshua Wong Pleads Guilty To Illegal Assembly

HONG KONG, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong on Monday pleaded guilty to charges of organising and taking part in an unauthorised assembly near the police headquarters during last year's anti-government protests. Wong, who was just 17 years old when he became the face of the 2014 student-led Umbrella Movement democracy protests, [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/tham-quan-tu-cam-thanh-nguy-nga-va-huyen-bi.html tử cấm thành bắc kinh] faces a maximum five-year jail term if convicted. Before entering the courtroom, Wong said he would not be surprised if immediate detention followed. "Perhaps the authorities wish me to stay in prison one term after another," Wong said. "But I am persuaded that, neither prison bars, nor election bans, nor any other arbitrary powers would stop us from activism. What we are doing now is to explain the value of freedom to the world." Wong was not a leading figure in last year's pro-democracy and [https://www.kynghidongduong.vn/blog/tham-quan-tu-cam-thanh-nguy-nga-va-huyen-bi.html kynghidongduong.vn] anti-China protests, but his continued activism has drawn the wrath of Beijing, which sees it as a "black hand" of foreign forces. He disbanded his pro-democracy group Demosisto in June, just hours after China's parliament passed a sweeping national security law for Hong Kong, punishing anything Beijing considers as subversion, secession, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces, with up to life in prison. His long-time activist colleague Agnes Chow has already pleaded guilty to [https://www.academia.edu/people/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=charges charges] related to the same June 2019 protest, while Ivan Lam, another former Demosisto colleague was also expected to plead guilty. Wong also faces charges of participating in an unauthorised assembly in October 2019 and on June 4, 2020 over a vigil commemorating the crackdown on protesters in and around Beijing's Tiananmen Square in 1989. Earlier this year, Wong was disqualified along 11 other pro-democracy politicians and activists from running in a since-postponed election for the city's legislature. Wong spent five weeks in jail last year for contempt of court, before being released on June 16 when protests were already in full swing. Wong's and other activists' repeated arrests have drawn criticism from Western governments who say China is not fulfilling its obligation to allow Hong Kong a high degree of autonomy, agreed with former colonial master Britain when the city returned to Chinese rule in 1997. China denies the accusation and says Hong Kong is its internal affair. (Reporting by Joyce Zhou and Jessie Pang; Writing by Marius Zaharia; Editing by Michael Perry)

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> President Donald Trump speaks in Ohio on Thursday. Scott Olson/Getty President Donald Trump [/news/the-tiktok-saga-everything-you-need-to-know/ threatened to ban TikTok] earlier this week unless the China-based app is acquired by a US company. On Thursday, he enshrined that threat into an executive order, calling the wide use of Chinese apps a "national emergency." "The spread in the United States of mobile applications developed and owned by companies in the People's Republic of China continues to threaten the national security, foreign policy, and economy of the United States," [ the executive order reads]. "At this time, action must be taken to address the threat posed by one mobile application in particular, TikTok." Coming hours after the Senate [ voted unanimously to bar ByteDance-owned TikTok from all government devices], the order states that "any transaction by any person" with ByteDance or its subsidiaries will be prohibited in 45 days. This would likely mean that Apple and Google would no longer be able to list the app on their respective app stores, similar to the [/news/huawei-ban-full-timeline-us-sanctions-china-trump-administation-5g-uk/ prohibition against US companies dealing with Huawei]. CNET Daily News Stay in the know. Get the latest tech stories from CNET News every weekday. It was one of two executive orders issued Thursday against China-based tech companies. Trump followed the TikTok ban with a similar executive order for WeChat, a messaging app owned by Chinese giant TenCent. As with TikTok, the ban goes into effect in 45 days. The ban is exclusive to WeChat, an [ official told the Los Angeles Times].

This presumably opens up the possibility of TikTok continuing to operate under a US [http://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=company company] such as Microsoft, which has been in talks about buying some or all of TikTok. The US government's concern stems from the data that TikTok and WeChat collect on their US users, as well as the perceived inability of Chinese companies like ByteDance and TenCent to reject requests from China's ruling Communist Party to access that data. Often [ cited by critics of China is a 2017 law] that requires Chinese companies and citizens to comply with all matters of national security. "TikTok automatically captures vast swaths of information from its users, including internet and other network activity information such as location data and browsing and search histories," the order reads. "This data collection threatens to allow the Chinese Communist Party access to Americans' personal and proprietary information --- potentially allowing China to track the locations of Federal employees and contractors, build dossiers of personal information for blackmail, and conduct corporate espionage." The executive order also cites reports that TikTok censors content in line with CCP guidelines, such as posts touching on the Tiananmen Square massacre and the treatment of Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang, as reason for concern. Trump's order on WeChat cited concern that the app, which had just under 900 million Chinese users in 2016, could be used to spy on Chinese nationalists who visit or immigrate to the US.
