Wong’s tweet was a response to U.S. President Donald Trump’s comment on the unrest in Hong Kong, which read, “If President Xi would meet directly and personally with the protesters, there would be a happy and enlightened ending to the Hong Kong problem. I have no doubt!”
The young activist has previously called on U.S. politicians to become more involved in showing support for the protesters in Hong Kong, explaining that these citizens were simply fighting for basic human rights.
In an interview with CNN, Wong stated, “From what I experienced yesterday I can now say that Hong Kong has already transformed to be a police state and Hong Kong police attempt to murder ordinary citizens.”
