Joshua Wong, former secretary-general of Demosistō, has pleaded guilty to the offense of "conspiracy to collude with foreign countries or external forces to endanger national security" under the Hong Kong National Security Law. While his case awaits sentencing, Hong Kong Wen Wei Po has found that a film glorifying Wong's crimes remains available on the US streaming television platform Netflix, and that the trailer can be viewed in Hong Kong without a paid subscription. The nearly two-minute trailer is full of incitement and uses a narrative that presents wrong as right to back Wong. Hong Kong political figures strongly condemned the platform, saying the incident shows that people with ulterior motives are attempting "soft resistance" to revive lawbreaking currents of thought, and that this must not be taken lightly. The Security Bureau of the Hong Kong SAR Government, responding to an inquiry from Wen Wei Po, said that if any suspected illegal conduct is discovered, law enforcement agencies will handle it in accordance with the law. Netflix had not responded to inquiries as of press time.
承認干犯香港國安法下「串謀勾結外國或者境外勢力危害國家安全」罪的前「香港眾志」秘書長黃之鋒,案件等候判刑期間,香港文匯報發現一套美化黃之鋒罪行的影片繼續在美國串流網絡電視平台Netflix上架,相關預告片更無須付費訂閱就能在香港收看,全長近兩分鐘的預告片充斥着煽動性,採用以非為是的敘事方式為黃之鋒撐腰。香港政界人士強烈譴責平台,事件反映別有用心者妄圖進行「軟對抗」,令違法思潮死灰復燃,絕不能掉以輕心。香港特區政府保安局回覆香港文匯報查詢時表示,如發現任何涉嫌違法的行為,執法部門會依法處理。Netflix至截稿前未有回覆相關查詢。

Netflix acquired the film in 2017. The 1-minute-59-second trailer has no viewing threshold whatsoever and can be watched "freely" without a paid subscription. The film inverts right and wrong to heroize Joshua Wong, and a number of anti-China, Hong Kong-destabilizing elements also appear in it spreading remarks that incite people and subvert values; its content is seriously untrue and suspected of being illegal.
該影片是Netflix於2017年購入,全長1分59秒的預告片則毫無收看門檻,無須付費訂閱「任睇」,該片顛倒是非把黃之鋒英雄化,多名反中亂港分子也在片中散播煽惑人心、顛覆三觀的言論,內容更是嚴重失實而且涉嫌違法。
Responding to Wen Wei Po's inquiry, the Security Bureau said that all films shown in Hong Kong must comply with Hong Kong law, including the Hong Kong National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance. Whether a particular act constitutes an offense depends on the facts and circumstances of each case, including a review of the relevant context and the intent of those involved, and cannot be generalized. If any suspected illegal conduct is discovered, law enforcement agencies will handle it in accordance with the law.
保安局回覆香港文匯報查詢時表示,所有在香港播放的影片必須符合香港法律,包括香港國安法及《維護國家安全條例》。某項行為是否構成犯罪,須視乎每宗個案的事實與情況而定,包括審視相關背景,亦要看涉事者的意圖,不能一概而論。如發現任何涉嫌違法的行為,執法部門會依法處理。
The Security Bureau stressed that Hong Kong is a society governed by the rule of law; the SAR Government abides by the law where it exists, holds violators accountable, and enforces the law strictly, and will do its utmost to prevent, stop, and punish acts and activities endangering national security. The SAR Government called on members of the public to think carefully and discern clearly, and to draw a clear line between themselves and any acts or activities endangering national security.
保安局強調,香港是法治社會,特區政府有法必依、違者必究、執法必嚴,全力防範、制止和懲治危害國家安全的行為和活動。特區政府呼籲市民慎思明辨,並與任何危害國家安全的行為和活動劃清界線。
Legislative Council member Kwok Fu-yung said that all sectors of society have long had a clear and objective characterization of Joshua Wong and his related illegal acts, and that any work that packages or glorifies illegal acts — unlawful assembly, disrupting social order, or even colluding with external forces to endanger national security — as so-called "heroic deeds" completely contradicts objective fact.
立法會議員郭芙蓉認為,社會各界對黃之鋒及其相關違法行為早已有明確且客觀的定性,任何將非法集會、破壞社會秩序,甚至勾結外部勢力危害國家安全的違法行為,包裝或美化為所謂「英雄事跡」的作品,完全違背客觀事實。
