on al-jazeera new yorkers are very receptive to al-jazeera because it is such an international city they are very interested in that global perspective that al jazeera provides. hello i'm i am and i was in london with a quick look at the headlines now in the past hour the democratic party's leader in the u.s. senate called for current and former white house aides to testify and president donald trump's expected impeachment trial has been r.c.t. to chuck schumer i haven't seen a single good argument about why these witnesses shouldn't testify or these documents be produced unless the president has something to hide and his supporters want that information hidden. in the trial structure i

outlined in my letter to leader mcconnell will ensure that all the relevant facts come out without dilatory action. hi joe castro is in washington and says that democrats are seeking evidence from president trumps in a circle to strengthen the impeachment case what this argument that you just heard from chuck schumer down to is that in the last 2 months we've heard hearing after hearing of these impeachment witnesses in the ongoing investigation however during all this time those investigators and the american public have not cracked through trump's innermost circle these are the individuals who in schumer's words just now they have the most direct contacts with the facts and dispute what are those facts will democrats say that trump withheld the security aid to ukraine with the motive with a corrupt intent they say to get ukrainians to launch investigations into his political rivals trump and republican defenders has said that that was not the pres the

president's motive at all that he was doing so to combat corruption in ukraine so those are the 2 disputed sets of facts and there are 4 people that chuck schumer says who are likely to be able to clarify that and all 4 of them were invited to testify before the impeachment inquiry in the house and all 4 declined or refused those invitations at the president's behest so 2 of those individuals particularly are as you mentioned trump's acting chief of staff mick mulvaney who was his right hand man who is the person that order the security aide to be withheld also trumps former national security advisor john bolton who is no longer a member of the white house but who told aides at the time that he thought the administration's dealings with ukraine during that time in withholding a white house invitation to the president of ukraine in exchange for those

investigations into joe biden bolton according to his aides said that that was like a drug deal well now in our other headlines india's prime minister. modi has called for calm after 5 days of violent protests across the country over a controversial citizenship role modi tweeted that the protests are on fortunate and deeply distressing he went on to show indian citizens at the citizenship amendment act would not affect indians of any religion and the act is only for those who have faced years of persecution outside and have no other place to go except india but he called for peace unity and brotherhood and for everyone to stay away from any sort of rumor mongering and falsehoods but the protests show no sign of dying down instead they've been spreading to university campuses nationwide with thousands of students demonstrating in new delhi southern chennai and northern veyron assy as anger at the modi government following allegations of police brutality during a campus rally in the capital that turned violent on sunday india's supremes court

china the world's largest communist state. isn't true to the free markets reaches. its paramount leader preaches the merits of globalization and reaches the limits of one man's rule in a one party state. contradiction in flux in a shifting political order. china the developing country to become a world leader. but will the faltering west simply step aside to hand china the brands of power. all tighten its grip. as the big picture previously documented in the china complex. china is paved with battle scars from internal struggles. and. a vast history of a civilization and together by

a common thread. order. in this episode we trace china's emergence as a 21st century superpower. lorded and scorn for qualities offering prosperity to many and peril to many others. how is china imagining itself reimagining itself at the center of this world order because china has the ability has the capacity to reach for the world. china need to be strong challenge need to be a big challenge maintain its hold me hold in order.

as an aggressive culture to. she jumping he's completely changed 3 he's decided that china this moment is night that china come out and we quest and we quiet the rest of the world to pay it he'll respect the chinese basically we bring to the world for the humankind stark choice you want to keep the current system or you want to pay for china order. up.

when the students got that in camis way beijing and the mom did more resolute steps taken by the government against corruption and some of the justices eventually not only emotions run high and run the extreme but also became better come from taishan. what happened in beijing. in the early days of june 1989 it was a tragedy that level of brutal violence. i don't think people were prepared for it but after it it's like being the real face. of

a party state regime that's a tolls of an authoritarian. and long number of people killed in town long i think. united states and the west imposed sanctions on china that limited sanctions. don't want to visit china anymore this was a period where chinese society and chinese government has never come to terms with regard to the nightmare it wasn't just the cover up by the feet of the government to allow discussion of it it was that china just moved in a very decisive way. the chinese communist party would move on from the chin in the square night man. married the mask and the ceremonies

and monuments marking the 40th anniversary of the people's republic of china. the protests were recent out of history as history was being made. 5 months after the time when they changed the berlin wall was torn down. the 1st folding the bricks of a crumbling soviet empire. leaving china as communism stand out stand at their. often any night he realized

a kind of last amended the whole world is not going to like us especially the west is not going like us so he decided in much to survive you better be hiding yourself be careful be humble to wait for your right time i to grow up to just make money quietly. this new approach was taken from classic confucian vote and cold one young quite high brightness nourished obscurity for the chinese leader dunks helping the man who spearheaded china's reform era economic progress had to continue but away from the limelight dunwood himself withdrew from the political limelight quietly guiding his successor jones and to take china to even greater heights. and then this is when the chinese growth exploded and there was a perception on the part of foreign companies that this really was

a huge opportunity there wasn't just a 1000000000 people over as a 1000000000 people were purchasing power. all the business people went back and so if you look at the numbers that the investments. the f.b.i. like find about the foreign direct investment all the flows all the indicators all get back to normal. western business at 1st recorded from china in the wake of the tenement square massacre but quickly dumped back on the chinese bandwagon. the dung era mantra to be rich is glorious it was paying off in china and the gentlemen would reap the rewards. after 92. really read and come as they are as long as you don't change my political authority you can do whatever so the chinese ingenuity very hard working chinese people the release of the make money. thanks to a new small part to have

a free access remark of technology and so on so the chinese for the hiding their world order ambition their china order ambitions of. ordinary country if i'm in charge make you rich. living standards improved and poverty reduced at unprecedented levels john symond was fulfilling the mandate from heaven. that validated a leader's authority he was providing for his people. made in china became a global calling card for electronic machinery textiles for household goods were exported around the world times brand and its notion of. all and to have been way beyond its 19th century peak. china's expanded free to oversee it was also drawing in marginal territories at home. by the early 1990 s.

minority groups once considered peripheral were now strategically closer to the han chinese government's central control. china is a nation of 56 major ethnic groups not among the elite seek highly. as a nation the fundamental challenge is how to. maintain stability and older in such a small that as environment. china's diverse population has long been held together by a central authority. but the many belong to ethnic groups such as the tibetan buddhists in china south west and the some weakness in the western region of junk. that lands have been forcibly annexed by communist rule the routing the religious and political freedom to missing only a shallow conditional autonomy. during the reform era. as industries spread further

west. a directed migration of china's majority how people are transformed the demography particularly in change out. as beijing laid claim to the riches of the land the chinese move minister hum people. to migrate or to tibet try to you know a change of demography there and also natural resource i problem the a division for gains from exploration not resources like oil and gas engine job for example is an economic reason for the resentment the water from the plant to better by toll feeds all the major rivers and tributaries in asia china's development needs those resources they need to extract those natural resources to fuel economic development. the that's the scene right in the late 1000

instance. tibetans food for independence but their claims were denied. their protests recent down by the chinese state the the was the the for the readers stay for question added fuel to a separatist movement that's a decades sore to reclaim as a muslim majority state so-called east turkistan. after the reform started in the eighty's and ninety's the chinese government and also forced culture assimilation in the ninety's the weaker side to take things in.

they're all hands is special to ridicule elements of it and they hoped i was an old notion of east took a man is that the separatist movements were running amok and they decided to maximize their impact by bombing public facilities transportation for example in discriminately killing people of different nationalities you would actually expect to see deterioration and escalation if such events are not controlled the problem with. beijing took an uncompromising line on those i just wanted to split from china. the chinese communist party strike hard campaign in 1906 stamped down in calls for independence violence peaceful.

riga as well as tibet and separatists were shown little mercy the leaderless doctrine throughout china's history to keep a strict order was again the 1st resort of authoritarian rule. we see in the 1900 the strike hard campaigns what what what were the strike hard campaigns about what were the goal of this trying to compare as she is kind of rooting apply of extra legal punishment of a people who allegedly committed a crime that is a mess or that was employed. by modern don't you tiffany and things are playing sort of a reinstituted that early is 983 to deal with the holograms destabilizing

society in a harsh way. could then be argued that this is dr height campaign this effort whether brute force or not to maintain stability is what allowed china to prosper economically i mean at the same time and to live there we saw this huge economic growth victor what do you remember from that period i would say the chinese government ever since 978 is very much driven by mentone instability political stability at all cost i personally don't think strike harsh is one of the most impressive things in our memory i think it was rapid economic reform and much more opening to the outside world in the 1990 s. they're really good out we're dealing with a fallacy here the fallacy is that if the parties they had not the voters so much resources to maintain stability china's economic growth would not have happened or

would not have happened quite so fast quite spectacularly because the issue and that is to maintain stability or or cost what to me about or cost and who has the ability you don't have to kill people all the way to get there is easy then the reality the chinese economic transformation is a miracle in itself there must be internal reasons which can explain the profound the transformation no single other country can do it's not true for. grew faster in 1000 turns 20 twentieth's and tonight in thirty's faster than p.r.c. ever achieve. numbers 1st of all i don't think professors or many other people in the world know all the real secret behind the chinese. development what is therefore therefore fair for. probably if we do not know what exactly is driving china's profile the transformation now whether people in other countries like it or

not we don't care when timmy stability at all cost and keeping peace we all remaining the pillars of power which. is that china are working to maintain world peace what has china done. response from france is. destroying peace that china had kept could person for a century and a half was about to see the timing up of in historic lose and 5 hours from now the union flag will be lowered and the flag of china will fly over hong kong. in the villages closest to the chinese border is a hong kong a world away from the bunny baking frenzy of the city. here the flags of the mainland fly in celebration of the imminent return to china. hong kong which has always been part of china so it's always nice to go back to the motherland but it

different views being expressed in the very heart of hong kong's tourist and business center. where basically very skeptical and now we have the wiring was any. radio. on that 1st day in charge this is the 1st test of the new regimes promises of tolerance. the preacher did not give us one calm people a right to them for themselves we're limited in the wars. only participate in the governance of the economy in a limited fashion right so it's not democracy but. let's be absolutely clear about the bush legacy it was the rule of law which was very important but there was no democracy there were no to elections to let's go any calling until about 10 years before the handover to china.

and $997.00 persons 99 year lease on hong kong expired. the colony it secured as one of the schools and the opium wars was reluctantly returned to china . beijing would implement a policy. of one country 2 systems in hong kong leaving its model of making money untouched and for a period of 50 years granting its people a degree of self governance and civic rights denied to those on the mainland at least for the next half century. there would be a guarantee. for 50 years of hong kong people's way of life our core values so these were supposed to be protected and hong kong would move towards something called genuine like autonomy democracy it was implied by really promised.

in 2001 china joined the world trade organization the body responsible for regulating global free trade. if you set a new leader who would take charge of the chinese communist party. taking office with echoes of dung shopping's appeal to high brightness and nourish obscurity to keep china's quick rise from being seen as a gathering threat. there were rising. china growing power.

so i think we didn't house advisers policy advisors the studied the rise and fall of great powers didn't learn some lessons so they realize the rise of new great powers my generated instability in the international system maybe even conflicts so they try to figure out how to avoid is that kind of confrontation with the established power. china begins to usurp the place of the united states and japan as a trade nation and becomes the major trading partner of all of the countries in this region is that it was the context how would you know how and his out of vi there is proposed the idea of peaceful rise but later on they realized he would be used for rise was a little be threatening because if you rise others must be crying right so they live further change the slogan from peaceful rise to abuse would be relevant

because development more beyond. china was rising under which in top china consolidated links with africa latin america and across asia hosting world leaders as well as visiting strategic partners of rowlett . past disputes with the likes of russia japan and india were smooth darva not quite resolved but no longer allowed to get in the way of money as trade relations . who also called for a how money a society at home pushing a confucian ideal of social harmony to tackle inequality that was hard to tell apart from increased censorship and surveillance as dissent was harmonized the o.r. in the summer of 2008 china showcased the veneer of a hummer nice nation developing peacefully at the olympic games in beijing.

western powers death to protests by rights activists gorge themselves on the splendor and spectacle of china's a limp they can extract again. just as western business was profiting from china's boom. but by the end of 2008 a financial crisis that began in the united states of the west. financial markets to the brink of collapse. one country would step forward as the economic savior. the chinese for buying large larger quantities of u.s. treasury bonds. and say write off a trillion dollars worth of bonds trying to prevent the bank falling out of global markets and turning a deep recession and so-called depression the global financial crisis destroyed the . prestige of the united states and the western european countries

in terms of their mastery of modern capitalist economics and created a universe or impression that the united states and europe were both declining. china realize it might be more important than a vast majority of chinese people realize there were rapidly rising expectations china should play a leadership role china's should be play a much more important role in global affairs the americans instead of just looking at china as a rising major country began to see it as a rising strategic threat with their rise comes increased responsibilities that come with being a world power. the.

a city defined by military occupation there's never been an arab state here at the capitol of jerusalem everyone is welcome but this depôt structure that meant is because only project does what we refuse it was one of the founders of the settlement with this and the story of jerusalem through the eyes of its own people segregation occupation discrimination injustice this is apartheid in the 21st century jerusalem a rock and a hard place on al-jazeera i really felt liberated as a journalist was. going to the truth was that i would love for this job. in 2008 al-jazeera documented a groundbreaking skee. preparing some of india's poorest children for entry into its toughest universities 'd. we returned to see how

the students and the scheme helping change the face of india. super 30 ananda 0. hello i'm marianne was in on them with a quick look at the headlines now the top democrat in the us senate has accused the president of the united states of orchestrating a cover up as call for current and former white house aides to testify and president donald trump's expected impeachment trial a vote is currently planned for wednesday in the democrat controlled house which will likely approve those articles of impeachment against from the process and then moves to the senate where a trial will take place but chuck schumer insisted today that a trial without witness says would not be a fair and honest trial. i haven't seen a single good argument about why these witnesses shouldn't testify would these

documents be produced unless the president has something to hide and his supporters want that information hidden. the trial structure i outlined in my letter to leader mcconnell will ensure that all the relevant facts come out with dilatory action india's prime minister narendra modi has called for calm after 5 days of violent protests across the country modi tweeted that the protest over a controversial citizenship will was unfortunate deeply distressing he wrote that the citizenship amendment act would affect indians of any religion but the act is only for those who have faced years of persecution outside and have no other place to go except india modi called for peace unity and brotherhood he also urged everyone to stay away from rumor mongering and falsehoods but the protests show no sign of abating instead they are spreading to university campuses nationwide as

anger modi's government following allegations of police brutality during a rally on sunday that turned violent india's supremum court is expected to have petitions challenging the citizenship law on wednesday. and at least 12 people have been killed in a rebel attack in the eastern democratic republic of congo the rape happened in the village of command go on sunday night just a day earlier at least 32 people died in another attack in beni which was blamed on the rebel group to the allied democratic forces. do stay with us because part 2 of the big picture focusing on china comes up next and then the news hour with myself at 2100 g.m.t. i'll see you then by phone. the week.

their progress element the last. u.s. president barack obama would enter the white house and refocus american foreign policy away from the middle east and toward asia. thank you. the obama administration woodcourt leaders from across the region however the u.s. pivot to asia was seen by many as a reaction to china's growing influence challenging its claims of peaceful development. just as america grasped the idea of china as a rival power a new figure would emerge who take on the mandate of heaven and take up the mantle of power mounts leader.

you get the election of xi jinping as the new general secretary for the chinese for his party and this is the most important shift since the show good night she said. curiously he was seen by the west a more liberal figure whose counterparts come in with a new slogan the try and dream dream however it's not the same dream of trying to people it was meant to be many things explicit implicit that the chinese people you know are taking the level of prosperity they could ever dream. that china could be explained. once more being named for ensure political cultural ideological military power in the world in other words china arrived.

in 2013 and president xi jinping arrived with a vision for china far from the city to modesty of his police essence. stake his claim on power and on the support of the people by taking on a scourge that had long corroded china's political system. so see if you bring introducing. this anti corruption drug tigers and flies in other words the big. and small the 1st and most important part is in fact a party with occasions campaign to get rid of the corrupt and ineffective and disloyal so to the party will be loyal to him secondly. we can change when the popular leader in china because he was seen as

a leader seriously for the 1st time in the polls done period taking on corruption and putting this corrupt officials in jail has sometimes he sounds like a model. because these kind of discipline issue was really came from that period. comparisons with the founder of the people's republic of china nancy don't plunge into shooting planes projected authority as he looked to project china's authority far beyond its own borders going to. be. all. the belgium and rolled initiatives started up as your asian infrastructure and connectivity project and eventually it spilled

over into northern africa or eventually spilled over into the totality of the african continent what do you do with all that know how all that capacity work you offer it or you find the rest of the world that needs it and make the contribution that way and in return they buy chinese goods or however they decide to pay for it it's intimidation it's intimate political intimidation economic intimidation i think people are saying that's not really a win win deal after all the only one that. when winning is is china because now we're just debtors now they own everything now they own the port now they own the airport now they own the harbor port one of the purpose was to and able china to stream from. relationship with a whole bunch of countries i was signed off the immediate 4 bits of the united

states and this is the 1st time we have a non western power that's economic and politically in a position to matter. for decades america has lost her jobs or our factories to unfair foreign trade but with the arrival of a new president in the white house other countries have made a living taking advantage of the united states and some of us communist china's climb to the top of the free trade treaty would be challenged by a man who saw free trade as that game. do 1018 u.s. president donald trump impose trade tariffs in an attempt to reduce america's trade deficit with china as well as to punish the chinese for alleged theft of u.s. intellectual property. beijing retaliated with tariffs of its own in a standoff with the world's most powerful nation the president of china standing

his ground. china need to have a strong leader and we need stability at all costs we cannot afford a situation where the party the government the region the country the culture the civilization will be dissing integrated i totally disagree with the message you're sending because today china is not in any dire crisis as of a nation the region however is still is internal paranoia for security that's where the problem is because the region in the losses legitimacy after all the decades and now is basically by. buying favors from people a little make money and by pretending i'm not doing any trouble site but i'm computer muscles because only muscles only power gives this kind of government the confidence and what has happened. is that he's decided it tongue shopping principle of hiding and biting is all for the china

moment is now. china will now come out. and we question and we choir's the rest of the world to paid do you respect it is that very assertive approach does she chimping has taken which is causing all kinds of changes in to in china's relationship with the rest of the world we have a certain leader in the us right now we have president donald trump and he is certainly perceiving it as a threat to the u.s. to the extent that he is that it actually is president can't he started this trade war issue with a trade war is the transformation that happened in the last 40 years previously the united states was very comfortable giving must've amount of investment and help for china's to develop not entirely altruistic really they were hoping that china would be more like the u.s.

that didn't happened and china at the early stage of development was so much behind the americans that they were completely we lexapro yes the chinese are stealing our intellectual property rights and all that but we're so much ahead of them they are now no longer comfortable because they see china now as a strategic competitor pushing for under president xi jinping a world that is save for or retiring this and i would modify that armando that is is not even the problem between us and china is a problem between us and the p.r.c. government unfortunately the government in china through various ways are doing things that seem to be threatening to the united states believe me and and that's where the bipartisan side doing things that are starting to be in that china seems to be poised or positioning itself i think somewhat as a as a superpower as an alternative to american leadership to an american or to the current world order. few points 1st of all the united states seems to

be increasingly losing its sanity about the specter of china again. size scale weight in the more impact it cetera i think the professor talked about the logical differences all human rights of democracy knoll leaves are not the most important thing between china and the united states the most to important driving force for increasing u s insanity is because china is gaining weight and becoming larger and larger as a force in the world. and emboldened xi jinping abolished presidential term limits freeing him to roofie years to come but while china's president has decreed freedom for himself he was cutting back the freedoms of the chinese people. turn arrests rights activists online bloggers were all subjected to increased state censorship and control familiar tools of repression

for times minority groups. were happening is now becoming a c.c.p. is a war not just against terrorism or can separate is the local autonomy people but against religion so well. so for the people outside of china we're looking we think looks like this is anti islam which may or may not be the case. sporadic outbreaks of violence between ethnic and readers and shin john as well as attacks on civilian targets by a small minority of weaker separatists had led to an unprecedented crackdown by the chinese state against the majority muslim people of the region years of brutally increased order in the week is now took the form of course assimilation to what beijing called free vocational training camps. china was seemingly putting down the

ambition of a separate nation by beating out the markers of a separate identity. it is absolutely true that there are violent terribly violent incidents of attacking her and chinese that is not a legitimate rationale for the authorities to then now pass legislation and strenuous saying you are in extremis why are you an extremist you have a beard. you're fasting you're praying you're speaking the language those have now become signs of extremism one of the things the chinese government hoping doing in change is reeducation camp this is very much play into the philosophy of we women tennis ability in a sense they want to have a preemptive effort right to stop the trouble of people trying to start. the demands of some weekends for an independent state along with the wider

clearance to islam and the target culture whose roots were seen as quite distinct from those of china's hand majority were troubled with aging. leaked documents in 2019 showed a state sanctioned program of mass incarceration of ethnic religious minorities mostly readers adding to the claims of brainwashing torture and sexual abuse. firsthand accounts spoke of brutal sun as i say sion. there is still true difference being branded with the hunt chinese standard. the chinese communist party denied all accusations. if you are talking about 2000000 people jailed or concentrated as some western reports even call them cousin tree she comes on a par with the nazi germany is concentration camps i feel this is really multi of

a did to with other altruria multi-verse i think the chinese government is doing the right thing. to make sure that stability is on the control. debility called for a crackdown on the symbols and the thick nia of islamic tradition. from public displays of arabic text to the banning of be it's and even muslim names. reports of physical and sexual violence as well as or summated police surveillance and facial recognition technology to monitor weaker activity had brought a harsh new reality for the people of shinji. jan watched and gradually being transformed into a kind of a police state. and she chippings approach to it is to well make them good papa chinese is actually all right for them to be if they simply

eat and drink alcohol and preferably even smoke cigarettes like chinese citizens always don't. but not all han chinese have been prepared to be good citizens to cream by beijing. what is happening in hong kong ever since i'm bradley campaign is that the hong kong people believe especially young people students believe their freedoms are undermined eroded. the one country 2 systems policy how to maintain an easy compromise since hong kong's return to china in 1907 in 2014 lasted in part us against the lack of democratic process caused widespread destruction before phone police action and legal intervention brought the so-called umbrella of revolution to an unproductive and. but the discontent remained. in the summer of

2019 as the hong kong secretive council try to introduce a controversial new extradition all. that discontent once again took to the streets . on last. week's additional was abandoned but the protests continue and. they send in police and escalate the violence. and that transformed the whole dynamics in hong kong from a very specific protests and specific demands to become something much much bigger then it becomes a matter of to put the. political to government it becomes a matter of the mocker see in hong kong.

violence in the purchases. purchases and police as perpetrators and victims by supporters and critics. beijing. main violence and criminals and lawless weiss's as well as foreign powers keen to put china in his long gone but not one forgotten place. what's behind the whole history let's say of china from 49 is that legacy of. real humiliation military economic political where they lost land and ceded land that's why hong kong so important it comes from the sense that never again we will never be humiliated again. november 2000. the center of hong kong into a battlefield.

students barricaded inside a party technique building. riot police with live ammunition moving to clear them out. and tear gas for. the spectacle of a war zone with the specter of tanks looming in the minds of those old enough to remember the massacre that's in the school. shooting pain in the chinese communist party remember. ringback if they allow this to continue in their view. they're going to look like they lost. to 2000000 people that we went out in the street and they had to back down. in the minds of an author it terry and dictator last thing you do is back down and let the

people when they care a lot about face because of our message we have a mixed messages why is the keep one cause one country system system work the other things that i don't understand run listen to my own people because my control cannot be challenged is certain people want to launch a revolution in hong kong. it will not be accepted and it will not be tolerated and it will be dealt with as rebellious beijing is stuck if they let it happen they have lost if they bring out the troops they have lost what they're facing is a lose lose scenario. later in november district council election so the people of hong kong turn out in unprecedented numbers and vote overwhelmingly against probating candidates. 17 of the eating local councils would now be controlled by council is calling for greater

democratic reform. at the ballot box but protesters had sometimes peacefully sometimes violently called for on the streets. but this government there has been a big push tonight china is under one identity at least this push through to remind people that you are chinese i think that's happening both engine john and it's happening in hong kong as well what is what is behind that push through 2 things emerge one is the very strong in logic deeply rooted in the change from polity that mendi is the top leader to control everything as much as possible as broadly as a possible engine joe or in hong kong the 2nd point is arguably is a total failure of the c.c.p. government to manage minority regions or manage or in hong kong that is after all

those years since do not improve because a worse and worse right where i think there's something much more contemporary in explaining it is in the very nature of the political system and the communist party has a mission which is used which is to unite all chinese bits back into mother china and therefore it is essential. for the communist party to get people in hong kong to fall in line and behave like people on the mainland of china that's what they're doing in they are chinese to synthesise their weaker people to make them into han chinese citizens or i would say it is an insult to the way you go people and that we go contrary to believe that you can synthesize the we girls know that the e.u. is the wiggles are very proud muslim people the brothers and sisters of ours you

can never change their culture or heritage you can never change their spiritual faith and china will be richer and better if we continue to have such diversity therefore i think mislabeling the situation in china in general mislabeling the situation is not only wrong but also very dangerous now we know about the american dream we've known about this for a while but she didn't paying has introduced this chinese dream which he wants all that means including those to come under in your opinion what is that about if that there that's not about sign a sign as a nation i would say the chinese dream things about each and every chinese citizen for example having a better living standards having a better car having a better house and about ideas like universalism about human. society professor. professor would that not be part of their better life professor

not allowed to learn those who are still alive to say those who are if anyone believes that the chinese to doc care about human rights that's not only deadly wrong that's very misleading where is the irony is he rather to pick or talk about half i mean look at the chinese official definition of what is charming stream the strong country strong. literary society and the rights for people that's the kind of rank order of course i have to of course we need to have a strong china in order to have a strong china we need to have a strong military like you put in the areas before the. china now with a strong military each of the chinese can be a better person this is the logic for china and i don't think it has never been proven when you have a doctrine of stability at all costs what are those costs human rights a climate models costs. and compare china today with china 10 years ago
