Australia Grants Asylum to Pro-Democracy Hong Kong Activist

Australia has granted asylum to Ted Hui, a pro-democracy activist from Hong Kong who was targeted with a million-dollar bounty for his role in the 2019 protests. Hui, who has been advocating for the release of other detained activists, is now seeking refuge in Australia. The decision comes amid ongoing tensions between Hong Kong and Beijing, with the Chinese government accusing Australia of interfering in its internal affairs.
