Criticism of the BBC

This article is about criticism of the BBC. For controversies in general, see BBC controversies. For (infringement of) its independence specifically, see BBC independence.

In 2012, Wong organised large-scale demonstrations: a handful of students went on hunger strike and tens of thousands of people flooded the plazas outside Hong Kong's government headquarters. By 2014 – the year of his first arrest – Wong was a leading figure in the so-called U
