Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong has pleaded guilty to collusion with foreign entities. Under China's national security law, the charge carries a maximum sentence of life in prison. Wong gained fame as a teenager, becoming one of the most prominent figures in Hong Kong's democracy movement. He was arrested along with many other activists, after Beijing tightened its control over the territory following mass protests in 2019. Al Jazeera’s Laura Westbrook reports from Hong Kong.
