[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] On the 10th at 2 PM, Ryu Ho-jeong, a member of the Justice Party, announced on the 9th that she will have a video conference with Joshua Wong, Secretary-General of the Hong Kong Demosist? Party, and Nathan Law, Chairman.

The video conference was arranged after Joshua Wong shared Ryu's speech at the party meeting on social media and proposed the video conference.

At the party meeting on the 2nd, Ryu stated, "The struggle of Hong Kong citizens is being blocked by China's National Security Law," and "I express infinite respect for the courageous actions of Hong Kong citizens against the oppression of public authority."

She also emphasized, "No oppression or discrimination can infringe upon the dignified rights of humans. I send strong solidarity and support to the citizens of Hong Kong and the United States, and once again reflect on the meaning of democracy and human rights that humanity has risked their lives to protect."

Joshua Wong is a symbolic figure of the Hong Kong democratization movement. He was a key figure in the 'Umbrella Movement,' which occupied downtown Hong Kong for 79 days in 2014, and led last year's protests against the Hong Kong extradition bill. At 23 years old, he has already been imprisoned three times.
