Self-determination means the political and economic status of Hong Kong should be freely determined by the Hong Kong people.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I'm optimistic Hong Kong will achieve universal suffrage - no matter the attitude of Beijing.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Hong Kong is the city with the highest degree of freedom of all the Chinese territories.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
The Umbrella Movement was a legacy, not a victory, because there weren't any concrete policies or systematic reforms after it.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
The Umbrella Movement can be described as an encyclopedia. Politicians and student leaders wrote it, and let the masses read it and react passively.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I am one of the facilitators, helping to make the voice of Hongkongers heard in the international community. I also organize student class boycotts and provide assistance for high school students.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Hong Kong's government needs to bear most of the responsibility for the Fishball Revolution.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Hong Kong people stand in the front line to confront authoritarian suppression.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
What I hope is that politics shouldn't be dominated by the pro-Chinese elite; it should be related to everyone's daily life.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Teachers have always said my only strength is talking and that I talk very fast.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
As I reflect on the successes and failures of our push for democracy, reading widely in search for a path out of authoritarian rule, I'll keep writing to encourage myself and those on my side.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I'm truly convinced that by living up to the values we stand for, we can serve as a moral inspiration for others, just as we've been morally inspired by those who came before us.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Countries often prioritise economic interests over human rights - hence all the kowtowing to China.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Adversity will only sharpen our wits and make us more strong-willed, resulting in the political awakening of more Hong Kongers, not to mention the international community's support.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I have never criticised the Thai government. I was only invited there to share my experiences of being a young man who took part in the umbrella movement. And this led to me being detained as soon as I stepped off the plane and being treated in a way that goes completely against human rights and the law.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I am absolutely certain that my unlawful detention by the Thai authorities was motivated by their fear of youth movements around the world.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
My phone and email have been hacked, I've been arrested by the police and followed by the pro-China people or the photographers from the pro-China newspapers.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I have the responsibility to tell everybody that I am not the only political prisoner in Hong Kong and that there will be more coming.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I think Hong Kong people's struggle for democracy is similar to David versus Goliath. But this struggle is not just about me.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I believe elitism in politics is over, and a new path to achieving democracy should be charted by young people who have the most at stake in the future of our city.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Having grown up under Chinese rule, I don't have any memory of colonial Hong Kong or feel any attachment to it.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I do not lead the Hong Kong protests, because no one person leads the protests.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
The police force has repeatedly demonstrated an inability and unwillingness to carry out its fundamental mandate: to serve and protect the people of Hong Kong. It has been reduced to a mere instrument of repression subservient to the political agenda of Beijing's regime in Hong Kong.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Even if the CCP is willing to stick with 'one country, two systems' in principle, no one can say for certain whether Hong Kong's freedoms of speech and the press would survive in reality.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
We should, through civic referendums, determine our own pathways and political status after 2047, because in this lies the future of our democratic movement. If Hong Kong could exercise democratic self-governance under the sovereignty of China, it would not be necessary for us to take this step on the path toward independence.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Beijing's imperial reach extends far and wide, from Taiwan and Xinjiang to the South China Sea and beyond.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
In December 2014, during the final days of the Umbrella Movement, prominent signs proclaiming We'll Be Back sprang up along Harcourt Road, one of the three major thruways occupied by peaceful pro-democracy protesters for nearly three months.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
We long to have a home where civil freedoms are respected, where our children will not be subject to mass surveillance, abuse of human rights, political censorship and mass incarceration. We stand with all the free peoples of the world and hope you stand with us in our quest for justice and freedom.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
I love the sense of belonging in Hong Kong. I love that it is such an international city. I love our food and our language. The people are energetic and passionate. I just really love this city.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Will Beijing really send out the army to suppress our protests? Never say never.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
If Hong Kong could exercise democratic self-governance under the sovereignty of China, it would not be necessary for us to take this step on the path toward independence.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Some people say that given the government's firm stance against genuine universal suffrage, our demands are impossible to achieve. But I believe activism is about making the impossible possible.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
We do not want to see a Hong Kong that enjoys freedoms on paper but whose autonomous status conceals the workings of a totalitarian state.
Quote by -Joshua Wong
Beyond the barricades we long to see a Hong Kong free from tyranny and a puppet government.
