Hong Kong activist Joshua Wong sentenced to 10 years in prison
Wong was sentenced for his second conviction under a Beijing-imposed national security law, in a case that critics say reflects the crackdown on the city's once-thriving pro-democracy movement.

What the coverage shows
All three outlets focus on Joshua Wong’s 10-year sentence and tie it to foreign collusion or attempts to seek sanctions against Hong Kong and China. France 24 and the South China Morning Post foreground the sanctions angle, while The Guardian US emphasizes the national security case and says Wong is the only activist in Hong Kong prosecuted twice under that law. The Guardian US also uniquely notes that Wong had been imprisoned since 2020 and pleaded guilty in September.
