As mentioned above, shortly after the outbreak of the black violence in 2019, Joshua Wong was revealed to have a secret meeting with the Director of the Political Department of the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong at the Marriott Hotel, and also had a separate room with the Consul General, which shows that the two parties have been closely connected for a long time. Friends in political circles dug deeper into the connections between several US consuls general in Hong Kong and the opposition, and found that they all had one thing in common, that is, they all had deep friendships with Jimmy Lai. As the saying goes, they were friends with each other. Of course, it was not just friendship, but It’s a close alliance.
When Yang Soudi served as the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong, he had frequent contacts with Jimmy Lai, and they often met with opposition figures for dinner. Before coming to Hong Kong, he served as the U.S. Ambassador to Kyrgyzstan (centre), where he participated in planning the local “Tulip Revolution” and has extensive experience in conducting color revolutions.
The interactions between the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong and Jimmy Lai have not been made public for many years. It was not until a batch of his internal communications were exposed in 2014 that the outside world got a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg. One of the emails was written to him by the former Consul General in Hong Kong, Guo Minghan. The tone was very reminiscent of an old friend. There was a passage in it that revealed a secret: “I recently learned from Yang Sudi (another former Consul General) that you have recently Dining with Lee Kwok-po, Martin Lee, and Anson Chan in Hong Kong is really jealous… I miss the days when we often had dinner together… I understand that the political environment you are currently facing is getting worse and worse, and I wish you the best. Be well.” Guo Minghan served as the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong from 2005 to 2008. When he sent this email to Li, he was serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Afghanistan.
Jimmy Lai had friendships with Yang So-di’s predecessors and successors. Xia Qianfu, who succeeded Yang So-di, visited Li at the Next Media headquarters shortly after the incident, and then made remarks in support of “real universal suffrage.”
After checking the confidential documents, it was found that in March 2014, Yang Soudi had dinner with Jimmy Lai and the above-mentioned people at the top Italian restaurant “8 and a Half” in Central. What they discussed was unknown to the outside world. From what Minghan Kuo said in his email, it can be seen that Lai and the US Consul in Hong Kong often drank and chatted, and the “8 and a half” gathering was obviously just one of many similar dinners.
It seems that it was no accident that Yang Su-di was sent to Hong Kong during that time. Not only was he a veteran in Taiwan affairs, he also served as ambassador to the Central Asian country Kyrgyzstan. During his tenure, there were many turmoils and political turmoil in the country, and the pro-American and pro-Russian camps were fighting. Colorful. Former Legislative Council Chairman Joseph Tsang’s book “Eight Years of Chairman” revealed that Yang Soudi personally told him that when he was ambassador to Kyrgyzstan, the U.S. government provided financial support and talent training to the local “democratic forces” and launched the “Tulip” “Revolution” that overthrew the authoritarian government, Yang made no secret of this. After listening to this, Tsang Yu-cheng felt deeply that there were large-scale demonstrations for “real universal suffrage” in Hong Kong. How could the United States stand by and watch?
Yang Soudi and his predecessors obviously used the same routine, which was to cultivate and support a group of “democratic forces” that advocated American politics, including various people, such as Jimmy Lai, who has media and political influence. Naturally, he became the primary target of attracting people, and it was no problem to meet up frequently to have dinner and wine. In comparison, Joshua Wong only plays a small role.
This explains why in April 2009, the newly appointed U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong, Joseph Tong, expressed to Jimmy Lai’s right-hand man, Mark Simon, that he wanted to have dinner with Jimmy Lai shortly after his arrival. As soon as Yang Soudi’s successor, Xia Qianfu, came to Hong Kong to take over, Jimmy Lai took the initiative to invite him to meet at the Next Media headquarters, and he happily accepted. Later, he publicly stated that he hoped that the opposition could participate in the universal election of the chief executive in 2017 and supported Hong Kong’s gradual achievement of true universal suffrage.
Several U.S. consuls general in Hong Kong have been working diligently for more than 10 years. In 2019, the showdown finally came. The U.S. government, Jimmy Lai, and rebels such as Joshua Wong, etc., all placed heavy bets on the gamble. The latter two were in person shortly after the riots broke out. When he went to the United States to meet with dignitaries, Lebanese met with the “Big Three” including Vice President Pence, Secretary of State Pompeo, and National Security Advisor John Bolton in one go.
I don’t need to explain what happened next, everyone is familiar with it. Recently, an American reporter revealed that the US government refused to grant Joshua Wong political asylum and even refused to let him in through the consulate door, treating him as an abandoned pawn. Looking at the big picture, in the current atmosphere of Sino-US relations, will the US make efforts to “rescue Lebanon”? , is a question mark.
The so-called “friendship” between successive consuls general and Jimmy Lai is, in the final analysis, just a relationship of use and being used. How can it last forever? The person being exploited can only blame himself for being too crazy.

Joshua Wong has been the “darling” of the US government and politicians for many years. Maybe he never thought that when disaster struck, the other party would turn coldly and ignore him. After this news broke yesterday, it caused a stir. Friends in political circles wanted to find out more about his ambiguous relationship with the United States out of gossip instinct. Today, “Ta Kung Pao” reiterated a tracking report about him during the black violence, which exposed him. At that sensitive moment, I had a close discussion with senior officials of the US Consulate. My friend thought it was very meaningful and shared it with me.
Joshua Wong and Luo Guancong had a secret meeting with the head of the political department of the U.S. Consulate General in Hong Kong (2nd from right) during the black violence and met with the consul general.
On August 6, 2019, a reporter from “Ta Kung Pao” who had been paying attention to Huang Zhifeng’s whereabouts discovered that he, Luo Guancong, and two young people who looked like college students were waiting for others at the Admiralty Marriott Hotel. Not long after, a foreign lady appeared with them. After saying hello and chatting for a while, she took everyone to a room in the hotel. Later, the reporter checked and found out that the foreign woman had a good background and was Julie Eadeh, director of the political department of the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong. The person they went to meet was the U.S. Consul General in Hong Kong.
At that time, the anti-extradition law riots had reached a climax, and Joshua Wong, Luo Guancong and others were actively instigating a Hong Kong-wide student strike in September. No one knew what the senior officials of the US Consulate were secretly planning with them, but what is certain is that it was It is related to the “brave resistance” that was blooming all over the world at that time.
Later, a pornographic ghost took a picture of the backrest and said that the other two people present were Huang Chengfeng and Peng Dinghao, students of the University of Hong Kong. Wong confirmed to the media that he had indeed met with the US diplomat in Hong Kong, but emphasized that he only discussed matters related to the United States. The Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act will be enacted. During his previous visit to the United States, he had face-to-face interactions with members of the U.S. Congress. Luo Guancong also met Secretary of State Pompeo. It is not surprising that they met with U.S. diplomats this time. . Joshua Wong tried to downplay the “secret meeting”, but frankly admitted to having contact with US consulate officials.
The reporter also made another “major discovery” on the same day. He saw former Democratic Party Chairman Martin Lee, former Chief Secretary for Administration Anson Chan and several foreigners at the Exchange Square in Central. They went to the American Club in the building. One of them None other than Julie Eadeh. Later, the reporter traced further and found out that they were also going to meet with the US Consul General in Hong Kong. During this explosive moment, senior officials of the U.S. Consulate had secret talks with “protest operators” from different factions. The reason why is self-evident.
According to previously disclosed information, the U.S. government had taken a keen eye on Joshua Wong and his organization as early as 2012 when he was engaged in “anti-state religion”. At that time, the “National Endowment for Democracy” had allocated US$100,000 to support Catholic Justice through “Peace Committee” members indirectly provided it to Joshua Wong as funds for his organization’s activities. As we all know, the National Endowment for Democracy is a semi-official organization that promotes democracy, but in fact it has the shadow of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) behind it.
When he engaged in “anti-state religion” activities in 2012, he was already spotted by the US government and indirectly supported its organization, starting an eight-year ambiguous relationship. Later, he was hailed as a rising political star and became the cover character of Time magazine.
After Joshua Wong became the “rising star” highly praised by the United States, the American media also launched a “god-making” operation. Time magazine promoted him as a cover character, and CNN also interviewed him, allowing this magical boy to brag. Behind the scenes, there were official connections. Publicity of the plan is not irrelevant.
Friends in political circles are still discovering Joshua Wong’s ambiguous relationship with the United States, both overt and covert. The information disclosed so far is just the tip of the iceberg, and he still has room to dig deeper. In any case, this close relationship has disappeared as the US cut off the relationship coldly. When Huang Zhifeng thinks about this in prison, will he feel that he was deceived?
