Hong Kong pro-democracy activists and Taiwanese lawmakers have agreed to work together to promote democracy in Hong Kong. Activists from Hong Kong met with members of Taiwan's governing Democratic Progressive Party and the New Power Party in Taiwan's capital Taipei yesterday. The Hong Kong delegation included Joshua Wong, who led the 2014 Umbrella Movement protests demanding democratic elections.<br/><br/>Wong accused China of suppressing the one country, two systems policy. He said the autonomy that had been promised to Hong Kong for 50 years is now under threat. Eighteen Taiwanese lawmakers later announced the launch of a new group to support the work of pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. The move is likely to upset China, which is wary of cooperation between anti-Beijing forces in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
