Joshua Wong is urging US President Donald Trump to add a human rights clause in any trade agreement set out with China. FMTNews

Democracy activist Joshua Wong , with graduate student Kai Ping Leung, attend a panel on ‘Anti-Extradition Law Movement’ in New York.

“It’s significant to add a human rights clause in the trade negotiations and put Hong Kong protests under the agenda of the trade negotiations,” Wong told AFP afterwards. Wong arrived in the US after visiting Germany as he seeks global support for Hong Kong’s widening pro-democracy protests that have crippled parts of the Asian financial hub in recent months.

Wong is due to attend a congressional hearing in Washington of the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act of 2019 on Tuesday.
