If he is really brave, why can't he openly criticise Donald Trump, Western imperialism, Opium war like he criticises Tiananmen massacre and CCP? He is deeply involved with and largely funded by USA government.
It’s not Joshua’s duty, but he chose to take it up to defend Hong Kong freedom. It’s the fortune of the Hongkongers to have this brave and intellectual young man to do so much for them.
What is the definition for democracy? The majority of the Hong Kong population does not want to become a third rated American or British. Just take a look of the American black. The reason is clear for you to see.
He is a foolish and selfish young man. If he wants so much to go to the US to become a third rated American. Do go, please. We are not holding him back. The problem is, the American government will only taking him in as a political victim. The CIA picked him just to play a character. You should asked J Wong what happened to that two millions pounds of club funds? It is a lot of money. He took it out from the club 's bank account.
It's 'we never kow-tow to China', not 'we never count out China'. Interesting to see Joshua being interviewed by a journalist who has criticised the PRC very little, if at all, in common with his newspaper who covered the Umbrella protests but were careful not to voice support in an editorial. Contrast that with the Belarus protests, where the Guardian jumped on board straight away.
Where in the world has 100 percent democracy. While made yourself miserable. Go to democracy countries of yours choice. I think they don't welcome you unless you become second class citizen of England.
Democracy takes many forms, some clearly different than others. In the US, it is controlled by money - with a right-wing supreme court decision that permits no legislated (ie. democratic) limitations on how much money the wealthy can use to buy candidates, elections, etc. Wong himself has welcomed support from far-right Republicans who visited & used Wong to assist in fighting China's emergence as a more successful society and world influence than the US. Wong did not respond to the question as to his ideology. Does he or his party have an economic and social philosophy & strategy for addressing the needs and aspirations of ordinary citizens & families? His anti-China actions (to the extent of even opposing the excellent high speed train service connecting HK to mainland China) suggests a continuation of a colonial attitude of arrogance & elitism toward the "inferior" mainland Chinese people, a "racist" view held by a sizeable HK minority. Is Wong's Christian background a factor in his sense of superiority to mainland Chinese? Wong has never criticized the violence of HK rioters in storming & vandalizing the HK elected Legislative Assembly building, burning part of the HK Polytechnic University, destroying a metro station, assaulting opponents & damaging businesses deemed supportive of China, closing the international airport terminal, etc. The harm caused by these actions to the economy & people of HK was significant. Can they be compared to what happened in Washington DC January 6? Wong has never revealed funding he has received from Taiwan, the US & other western interests. This is a "softball" interview. Wong warrants a less superficial examination of his motivation, philosophy and prejudices.
I personally know something about the HK under ruling both from the UK and China. I also personally know something about the CCP, both the old and the modern. What and how do you know HK and China? From the anti CCP and Chinese publications? From people like J Wong? J Wong is a chess picked by the US. He paid well for it. He does not have a job but lives well and having a nice life style. Travel anywhere in a car with chauffeur. Spend nights in 5 stars hotel. Ask frequently for crowd fundraising. By the way, please ask him what happened to the £ 1.6million party fund? That is sterling pounds. It is a lot of money to a 22 yrs old. Chinese idiom : summer fly talks about the icy winter. Sorry, you are just that summer fly. Before the ending, I like to say that what I said is all from my heart and from my head. No money involved . What about you? How much do you got paid? What ever you paid. Your is just a peanut if compared with J Wong.
Makes me angry listening to this interview, letting him excuse himself for all the damages happened in HK. Stop using democracy as an tool. Can people just search n look at all the violence in HK this pass year. Man burnt alive, one killed by brick, bow n arrow shot through police leg, did anyone see thousands petrol bombs produced in a university. Have a look at Western police in action before condemning HK police. Let's be fair!!
Ah a CCP supporter or someone who only uses CCP influenced media. If you actually know the truth of HK and it's current situation from start to present. You'd know this is precisely the fault of the government bringing in the extradition law. Next it's HK Police who were brutal to HKers and journalists from day 1. HKPF's reputation went to the trash when they allowed triads to terrorize citizens in Yuen Long despite calls to 999 and police being present. The lies in their press briefings were also really obvious, immediately declare guilt or innocence. You conviently fail to mention HK police threatening to shoot protesters multiple times. One actually did it. Another HK police officer tried to ram protesters with his motorcycle. I can cite many more. That's how horrible they are. BTW I don't even use Western media for HK news it's too slow. The livestreams are pure and unedited, if you are rational or even neutral, those livestreams will tell you how the HKPF operates, they're effectively terrorists and provoke violent reactions. You use Western police as a crutch yet even though accountability is weak, HKPF has zero accountability. The officer accused of killing George Floyd is fired and the other officers involved will go to court. HKPF did no such thing even for the officer who shot the protester or the one trying to ram protesters with his bike. Based on their manual back in much of 2019 they should have all been liable for failing to use violence as a last resort. Of course having no accountability and realizing they could be accused of failing their rulebook, they changed it to have zero liability and allow aggressive use of force in October 2019. Ultimate blame however goes to Carrie Lam and the CCP. If they did the simple thing like leave HK people alone. None of this would happen. Don't be surprised if people react violently if the oppressor is violent. This is why HKPF is a disgraceful force. It's sad the old corrupt HKPF during British rule was morally superior to the awful force today.
U are angry because you have been brain washed by the CCP. I feel sorry for you. You don't know what CCP have done to China, HK and the world. How many people they have killed and arrested. Chinese commnuist party, CCP has sent so many plain cloth spys to HK causing trouble. Sending police from mainland to HK, causing violence. You only watched videos that put on by the CCP.
Wow. First sentence 'CCP' mentioned twice. I know where you're coming from. Some things in life you just gotta brush it, bag it n bin it. Oh well, after a funny story, reaction is LOL.. P.S I watch live stream too, can't trust media anymore.
Lynda Chan. If I lived in Hong Kong, and wanted Hong Kong to be an Independent country, which party could I vote for? How many registered political parties are there?
@@LC-xg8uu you most certainly have not watched the livestreams. If you truly did, you could never come to the conclusions you did with your first comment. The vast majority of the livestreams and feeds had peaceful protesting or just plain unpolitical HKers going about their day. Then the HKPF showing up, being ultra aggressive, and in far too many cases just beating people because they didn't like what they said. Very few had no incidents because the people either managed to flee before the police and they didn't chase or a rare case where the officer was only aggressive initially. It's disheartening to see HKPF so willing to brandish guns often immediately, a few incidents where the officer has actually been disarmed. If you were actually watching the livestreams you would've seen protesters even if they engage violently refuse to use this gun every time. That's inspite of the power a gun wielding person has. If they were what you claim them to be, then a few would have guns and suddenly the police lost a significant power and can't act all powerful. Sadly the police are so bad that most residents rather not see the police at all because they're always the source of trouble for all involved. Worst of all is some people who didn't do anything also get beaten including those initially supportive of police. When you see children being terrorized on the MTR, and the parents protecting them from police beatings, how can anyone defend such disgusting actions by a force that's supposed to protect them? Trust in HKPF plummeted from most trusted government entity to least trusted with significant disapproval. Carrie Lam's last polling number last year was 8 percent approval. HK is unpolitical for the most part and pro democracy wasn't on the top of most people's angenda. However when a government becomes totalitarian, uses it's brute force to oppress, it's now a part of your life and the government totally refuses to listen to basic problems, democracy becomes the top choice. The district elections were the true show of the actual silent majority. Sadly China now knows it's lost and has clamped down in HK. Now it and Carrie Lam are using this BS national security law to meddle in the Legco elections that they're destined to lose under legitimate means.
All talking points.....what are you going to do for Hong Kong people? What are you gonna do to deal with the housing crisis in Hong Kong? How about inequality? You have never mentioned even one word of it. Is this about the people of Hong Kong or it is just about you ? You own ego?
I believe the housing crisis is the job of the government, not the people. what he believes and fights is the freedom that Hong Kong people had, but have been taken away. Freedom to criticize and petition its own government is something China doesn't have under the CCP's ruling.
Arron Chu nobody denies that freedom of speech is important, but he’s all bark no real bite, it just doesn’t sound genuine to me. By the way he is in a political party maybe one-day could get into the government! Nobody wants to hear him shouting freedom!!!......into the air everyday, but do nothing, people don’t live on empty talking points
Katie Zheng: How can he bite when they have taken out his teeth? JW is still an icon and he is standing up for democracy and freedom of speech and that is why people are supporting him. I agree that he may not be a good politician but that is not what people need now. 60 -70 percent of the population does not feel they are represented and that will not change with the present SAR-setup.
It's called activism. The housing problem is for the sitting government to solve, not for activists. He has his own agenda, one that he shares with many Hongkongers and people around the world. Democratic values like freedom and safety are worth fighting for. The ones standing by without doing anything, silently, listening to the poisenous words of the oppressor should be ashamed of themselves. Instead they criticize some one who actually does fight. Incredible 🙄
in other countries destroy people’s property, terror other people, will land in jail. But not Him. We fight for democracy. So you can do all things you want.
I've been to Hongkong and I talked to a lot of young people. I know this fight is not a joke and you saying so only means you're either payed to troll or a victim of CCP propaganda.
Finished，well i think we shouldn't trust CCP or Protests in HongKong that directly.For sure Beijing do did something to put pressure on freedom speech,as a 'Mainlander' i cannot receive this kind of information,all i can see from the Mainland internet is Joshua Wong is an asshole,but i don't really believe one side's says,otherwise i wouldn't come here.But some 'HongKongers' also did something that ain't goodto the society,like smashed the Legislative Council Building,turned that place into a mess,and bully those people don't agree with them.That old man was set on fire by bunch of 'protests',it was really unbelivable and horrible.Actually we both sides are receiving negative information about each other,maybe we should find a way to talk,not keeping intriguing against each other ,but turning protest into riot,and hooking up with foreign powers[don't forget Ukraine] won't help at all. That's my point,yall can agree or disagree,or just delete it,as a 15,i don't wanna get too involved in politics
Peacefully expressed our views for more than 20 years and see what have we got? A more authoritarian government and heightened threat to the world's freedom. Foreign power is the only way out.
@@ivanlee5977 yeah,i know the democracy in HongKong is getting worse and worse these years,so i don't agree with CCP all the time either.I know the government is ignoring your voice,so i kinda support your movement at first,but situation is getting uncontrolable now as you can see,Rioting is not welcome in any countries in the world.Maybe yall shouldn't smash the Legislative Council Building as a start,you know CCP is that kind of party that you have to listen to it,then you can give advice. Well,i just think that CCP and the protests in HongKong all need to change
@@ivanlee5977CCP only cares about materialistic satisfaction,and don't really care about our generation's mental needs.That's the whole problem,I know they need to change.I'm standing with you at that point!But i don't hate this praty,because they do satisfy most of my needs,Change is they need to do
DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM TO HELL OR HEAVEN. FREEDOM IS HEAVEN TO A CRIMINAL WHEN RELEASE. YOU ARE BRINGING A LOT OF MISERY TO THE YOUNG AND THEIR FAMILY. FREE YOURSELF AND SAVE THOSE MISERABLE SOUL WITH YOUR WAYWARD WAY OF VIOLENCE TO ACHIEVE YOUR PERSONAL GOAL.
