no official reasons. and given let's make that new clink, who's joining us, lie from honolulu, hawaii. he's a former u. s embassy official in beijing. so also the former deputy assistant secretary of defense for a stager. thanks for your time with us on al jazeera. what's your reaction? a lot of this. can you hear me? i knew clinic, are you with us? or my apologies. we seem to be having audio and video issues. mr. haney clinic, are you with us? yes, i am. can you? we can hear you now. yes, thank you so much for speaking to us on al jazeera, i was just asking you what your reaction is to what's going on in china. seemingly, as many people are describing me, get as a correct down on the entertainment industry. yes, absolutely,

and thank you very much for having me today. i just think that this is just the latest example in a series of measures designed to extend the control the chinese communist party as well as underscore shooting things paramount leadership over every aspect frankly, of china's civil society calling to be government and just life in general. unfortunately, it's frighteningly reminiscent of the barry, chaotic period, chinese history known as the revolution where the arts and entertainment were subordinated. the chinese communist propaganda as well as men, do honors for and encourage the cult of personality focused on the mouths done at the time. and now she didn't pick my opinion. why do you think this is happening now though? so i think a couple things. first of all again, if you just take the last week as an example,

the ccp has an active new measures to crack down on online gaming. for instance, for minors has continued to crack down on, on the tech companies like ali baba dd, intense. and i think it's all meant to be part of a key campaign leading up to the 20th chinese congress party national party congress. the next year in 2022. that will probably result in she g paying being given an unprecedented 3rd term as the leader of the chinese communist party at the general secretary as well as the president of the people's republic and the chairman of the central military session. here the thing though, i mean you mentioned specifically the online gaming the, the chinese authorities will say, well, these records regulations are really meant to protect children and adolescents. so could this just be seen as the beijing reaction to what it describes as social or cultural issues that are being caused by certain industries?

it's so yes, i agree, that's what the chinese congress party will say and has that. and frankly, there is probably some truth to that, but if you take it as one part of an overarching campaign again, you know, in light of the crack down now on the entertainment industry as well. the, the, the crack down on tech companies, the cracked down on crypto currency. there's, there been many measures just within the last several months, domestically all designed to enhance the control the ccp. and then if you take that, also in conjunction with what the chinese communist party has done internationally with respect to maritime traffic safety law, that was just an acted yesterday that requires foreign vessels to have chinese

pilots on board when traversing chinese waters, waters that they play with it or not, they're nationally recognized and you take that also in light of the national security law passed in hong kong. i believe that these are all pieces of a larger campaign meant to underscore the consolidation of power. if she'd been leading up to a party congress next year. okay, so you think this is basically part of a broader pattern of cracking down if i understand you correctly. i mean, you've mentioned the entertainment sector, you've mentioned gaming companies as well as crypto currencies. what sector is might be targeted next, in your opinion? why think that there's going to be a continuation of enhanced control over a tech industries. so again i mentioned ali baba dd and then all under the auspices of anti trust laws, i think we're going to see more of that and extend it to other technology companies of chinese technology companies. and frankly,

for companies that want to operate in the chinese market space, so i think we'll see an expansion of that and doubling down on that by the chinese government. right. okay. thank you so much for speaking to us, honey. oh clink. we appreciate your time. thank you. and now a paramilitary soldiers, an indian administered kashmir, a fire tier guy that protests ers, who defied security restrictions following the death of a senior separate this leader. him so yet on the shaw galani was 91 years old and had been sick for months. and you know, the story is have shut down most communication networks to prevent mass protest happening. the child reports say that he shall galani spent most of his life resisting new daily's authority in indian administered kashmir, the face of the separatist movement in the region. he had been under house arrest for 12 years. after leaving several anti protests. he supported the arm struggle
