Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to collusion with foreign entities under Beijing's National Security Law. The charge stems from his alleged conspiracy with other campaigners to lobby foreign countries, including the US, Germany, and Italy, to impose sanctions on Beijing. Wong is already serving a sentence for a previous NSL violation and faces further sentencing for this new charge. His activities included promoting the US Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act.
