Wong and fellow Hong Kong activists Eddie Chu (朱凱迪) and Lester Shum (岑敖暉) met with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislative caucus for more than an hour.
“Hong Kong is being oppressed by Beijing, but Taiwan has free democratic elections and has successfully passed power between political parties,” Wong said, adding that he wishes for Hong Kong to have such a democracy while reiterating the slogan “Today’s Taiwan, Tomorrow’s Hong Kong.”
Chu agreed with President Tsai Ing-wen’s (蔡英文) denial that the government has intervened in Hong Kong’s affairs, as Beijing has claimed. [FULL STORY]
