3:06 am
what's happening in some of those protests terrorism and saying that they will crack down with an iron fist but when you talk to people here in mainland china about what's going on in hong kong they have a much different view than those in hong kong they say they're frustrated they're angry and they're also scared we actually talked to some people who are going on their way into hong kong from mainland china here one family was going to hong kong disneyland and they said they're frustrated because they're worried about the safety of their children so obviously a much different view of what's happening in hong kong here in mainland china. double trouble delayed new tires on chinese made products the u.s. president says he doesn't want americans to have to pay more for things like laptops small video game consoles join the shopping season before christmas a white house correspondent health could explain its. financial markets are reacting positively to that news coming out of the u.s. trade representative's office that there would be a delay in some of the tariffs put on chinese goods into the united states
