pandemic. and mission and not possible the weather holds the 1st launch of u.s. astronauts by private company. back into the program hong kong's long standing special status with the united states is set to come to an end u.s. secretary of state mike pompei has told congress the territory no longer has a high degree of autonomy from china and shouldn't get special treatment has accused china of trying to model hong kong after itself as it prepares to impose a new security law or hong kong has long been viewed as asia's financial hub with its own laws and relaxed business regulations making it an attractive gateway to business with mainland china more than 1300 u.s. companies have business operations in hong kong including nearly every major financial firm in 28000 u.s.

foreign investment in hong kong was worth $82500000000.00 and that number was rising. with business activity heavily regulated in china chinese companies also set up in hong kong to attract foreign investment but china is less reliant on whole coal for trade exports through hole coal have dropped from 45 percent in 1902 to just 12 percent last year well robert scott is a senior international economist at the economic policy institute in washington d.c. joins me now via skype from north potomac in maryland good to have you with us on the program sir i mean what is the special treatment that the u.s. gives hong kong. u.s. and sort of gestures are able to access shiners financial markets those are conscious delusional markets they apparently the past a dependable rule of law are the foreigners are able to come in and out without

visas but 80 $5000.00 americans that work in hong kong and the u.s. from true about $85000000000.00 in that come in that country so it's pretty key nexus for as you said earlier in the financial industry investing in china is that why the alarm bells would ring that if you change sort of security status quo and you change the status of the relationship between hong kong and china that really is why it worries the u.s. . i think it's why it worries us investors you know the banks they may have to move their operations elsewhere in the region they may have less easy access to china for example they have to work from singapore and stole from hong kong i think this is part of china's larger plan and it's 2025 programs. indigenization are taking over chinese are operational many of the foreign

operations that they've relied on in the past to build up their economy is now a very large and very wealthy country and they're using that wealth and they feel they no longer need to rely on one foreign investors as much it's interesting method methodology perhaps counterproductive because counterproductive perhaps because you think the chinese would want foreign currency coming into the province a part of sort of being the sort of asia's financial hub sort of taking it away all restricting that will surely could be adverse to china's long term plans they never have these plans or do these plans a sort of knee jerk reaction do they. no but i think if you step back to look at the role of capital flows and in china's development it's actually works in its interest to reduce foreign demand for chinese asset just because the value of the chinese currency is back which china has been doing over the last year and

a half as it has gauged in trade wars that the united states is at the bottom fall out of the chinese r. and b. the dollar has risen in the past 5 years by almost 22 percent especially against the chinese currency especially in the last 18 months and all that it has done is make. chinese imports more competitive in the united states and u.s. exports more expensive in china and everywhere we compete with china that is the core economic issue between who's going to reason it has gotten worse and this move simply exacerbates that problem by reducing foreign demand for chinese assets they're all several hyper hypotheticals perhaps and fairies for example at the back end of 29000 we saw the likes of singapore waiting in the wings to welcome finance to financial institutions if dealing financially china becomes too difficult to deal with surely beijing will be aware of other hubs within asia who are all very

keen to attract financial institutions to that scholz. that's correct and i would not even be surprised to see china using it as well sue worse acquire assets in singapore as well as perfectly happy to learn more and count on migrating around the region as long as it remains the controlling hand. the puppet master of moving the strings in the background is its tremendous wealth is it the resources to this china sitting on or on a pool of foreign currency reserves that is worth in excess of 4 trillion dollars that money around the world to acquire technology is a national. positions in a wide range of firms. who charlie mcglone will economy robert scott it's very good to get your insight and thanks so much for joining us from maryland in the u.s.

a lot about what we need to improve for the future this is really a wait and a time to be even to realize how important public health by comparison code in 1000 has proven to be worse than other recent virus outbreaks the 2003 sars epidemic did not claim a single life in the u.s. in 2009 the age one n one pandemic claimed the lives of 12469 americans with cove of 19 no one can say for certain what the final u.s. death toll will be. since march citizens have had to endure weeks of restrictions and lots of distress trying to stay safe from the virus but a new columbia university study found that imposing the lockdown even a week earlier could have saved tens of thousands more lives based on the overall premise that lives could have been saved had social distancing been in place

earlier yes in theory we waited too long to implement those social distancing measures hindsight is always 2020 so of course we know that now i think at the time there was it wasn't clear how widespread the virus was with the vaccine still a long way from being available it's clear the threat from covert 19 would linger over a summer shaping up to be unlike any other in living memory christian salumi al-jazeera the european commission is calling for a recovery fund of some 825000000000 dollars to help you nations tackle the pandemic present on delay and that while mr transformed the rock central finances to allow it to raise money from capital markets it would then hand out grants and loans from member states but some countries including austria the netherlands denmark and sweden are opposed to taking on debt for other countries well as coronavirus restrictions begin to ease some refugees and migrants have resumed their journeys towards e.u.
