We don’t just follow stories, we follow up. Chaewon Chung has been reporting about how online activists are aiding the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.

Tensions between Beijing and Hong Kong have mounted since China recently approved a controversial new security law. Though details are still emerging, activists in Hong Kong have expressed concerns that the new legislation could effectively stamp out protests that have dominated the city for the past year.

While demonstrators took to the streets in response, pro-democracy activists like Jeffrey Ngo warn that pro-Beijing internet users have launched new disinformation campaigns about the latest round of protests.

Ngo says that some pro-Beijing internet trolls have deliberately mischaracterized the Hong Kong protesters as supporters of President Donald Trump.
