Profoundly troubled by the recent sham trial of 45 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. Beijing’s ruthless tactics can’t stop the spread of democratic ideals and activism in Hong Kong.

Dozens of Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Leaders Are Jailed Up to 10 Years

The 45 defendants, including Joshua Wong, were at the forefront of the opposition movement crushed by Beijing. Many had already been in jail for years.

For most of recorded history, people have lived under despots and tyrants. But Americans maintain the belief that we can govern ourselves in freedom. No matter the twists and turns of politics, we won't let fear defeat solidarity. My interview with @slate.bsky.social:
