IT SOUNDS LIKE HONG KONG

ACTIVIST JOSHUA WONG IS WILLING

TO FOLLOW UP ON

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PROPOSAL TO

MEET WITH THE CHINESE PRESIDENT

EXCEPT JOSHUA REFERS TO HIM AS

EMPEROR AND NOT PRESIDENT XI.

THE 22-YEAR-OLD ACTIVIST JOINS

US NOW.

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US TONIGH

TONIGHT.

I WANTED TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS

IDEA THAT THERE ARE FORCES OR

MILITARY ASSETS AND EQUIPMENT

BUILDING UP NEAR THE BORDER.

"THE NEW YORK TIMES" SAYS THIS.

IT IS A CREDIBLE THREAT AND THE

CHINESE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT WANT

TO LEAVE ANY DOUBT THAT IF

NECESSARY, THEY WILL ACT.

WHAT ARE YOUR CONCERNS RIGHT NOW

ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THAT,

JOSHUA?

>> WHERE THE PAST 24 HOURS OR SO

BREATH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND

VICE PRESIDENT PENCE HAVE SPOKEN

OUT WITH GREAT CAUTION OVER THE

SITUATION IN HONG KONG AND WE

HAVE FACED EXTREME UNCERTAINTY

OVER WHERE THE BEIJING ARMY WHO

INTERFERED IN HONG KONG, WHERE

THE TROOPS WILL STAND TO BE OUR

PROTESTS.

>> WHAT ROLE DOES RELIGION PLAY

WITH THIS, THEY ARE TRYING TO

LEAD THE PRO-DEMOCRACY, OR MAY

BE CONCERNS.

THIS IS POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC

FREEDOM AND THAT IS CRYSTAL

CLEAR.

THEY TALKED TO THEM THE PAST

WEEKEND AND HAS SHOWN

PRESIDENT XI THAT OUR MOVEMENT

FIGHTS DEMOCRACY AND IS FAR FROM

OVER.

>> THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THERE

ARE 1.7 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE

STREETS.

WHERE DOES THIS END AND WHAT DO

YOU HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH THROUGH

THIS?

>> WITH OUR BECAUSE A FREE

ELECTION, WE HOPE TO ELECT OUR

OWN GOVERNMENT, AND WE HOPE TO

LET THE WORLD KNOW THAT OUR

MOVEMENT AND BATTLE WILL

CONTINUE.

>> CHINA TONIGHT IS SUNDAY

MORNING SAYING THAT THE U.S. IS

CAUSING TROUBLE.

THE PRESIDENT HAS SAID IT'S TIME

FOR PRESIDENT XI TO SIT DOWN

WITH SOME OF YOU.

WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO

PRESIDENT XI IF YOU COULD FACE

HIM?

>> PRESIDENT XI MUST RECOGNIZE

FREE ELECTION AND DEMOCRACY IS

THE PROMISE OF BEIJING TO

HONG KONG, AND WHEN 2,000 WERE

FIRED, EVEN TO PROTESTERS DURING

THE PROTEST PEACEFULLY BECAUSE

BULLETS WERE FIRED INTO THE EYE

EYES.

THAT'S NOW THE TIME FOR THE

WHITE HOUSE TO RECOGNIZE THAT

BASIC HONG KONG HUMAN RIGHTS.

>> Shannon: JOSHUA WONG,

SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN LEADING THIS

FOR A LONG TIME.

YOU ARE A YOUNG MAN BUT HAVE

PAID THE PRICE IN AND OUT OF

JAIL AND BEING PART OF THIS
