one of those is joshua wong. just 22 years old, has already served time behind bars for his role in the occupy movement. he was arrested early yesterday. we spoke to him briefly. and he was asked how long this would go on. this gives you the sense of the commitment being shown by him, this is what he had to say. >> we have never expected hong kong government to listen to our voice because hong kong government is just a proxy government. the leader of hong kong is just a puppet of communist regime. but we still keep on our fight because we all know that president xi and beijing are facing certain international pressure and discontents of hong kong people. and we are just the one demanding our fundamental right to elect our own government, the right enjoyed by the free world since last century. >> reporter: so this is joshua wong who just a few hours ago was arrested and released on bail, one of seven pro democracy people who have been -- high profile people who have been arrested. but as you can see, it has had no

that's a reference to the cancellation of the demonstration, the arrest of joshua wong and what looksappens, of course, it greatly complicates the trade talks the president has already said so these two situations are linked, hong kong and whether or not the chinese delegation comes here in a couple of weeks to have the 13th, what i call the 13th round of the trade talks. >> shannon: joshua wong, we had on a few days ago, a couple of weeks ago here. shortly before he was arrested. then we got word he's been arrested. out again. some of the protestors say, the reporting is that activists say this is all an attempt to intimidate protestors ahead of another week of demonstrations. they also say it won't work. so we're hearing from a lot of these folks. tomorrow's protests have been declared illegal and the police are saying we'll arrest you if you show up but there have been massive numbers that have been willing to take to the streets every weekend. what's your prediction for how this ends? >> i don't know. i think the president is right. we're going to learn a lot in the next two to th
