12:45 pm

12:49 pm
they're a war, politically with your values, principles, and institutions. you either have to decide that you're going to defend them and fight back. or we are going to be a very, very grave risk soon as i sit here, russia is massing troops on the ukrainian border. as i sit here, russia is mobilizing new military power in the arctic ocean. and so on. china is mobilizing its military in the south china sea and bearing down on taiwan. i don't think we should seek a cold war, but it is a period, a new period of normative battle over democratic values in the world
12:50 pm
in . and i think democracies of the world have to recognize this and rise to the challenge with figuring out how to deal with the rise of china is the great challenge of the 21st century. dis gotten more authoritarian over the past decade, state champion and alternative to western democratic capitalism. that gives dictatorships like china's an incredible vulnerability should a day come when that regime is no longer able to provide economic growth, it will no longer have any reason to stay in power. and the only choice it will have, therefore, if it wants to stay in power,
12:51 pm

12:53 pm
they always can find ways to suppress you. they managed to kick me out of the counsel 9 months after i represented people in it's a month. i went to show court the umbrella bisman. i felt definitely bad about it, but my actually had a mental preparation for that. and i feel like he's actually one of the pest up in our system journey. i think the end of the day, the movement, the not so seat, but it was of very memorable page of can see sure. because a b flat or the very 1st massive disobedience movement over time.
12:54 pm
ah, i decided to flee out of the city in order to preserve the voice. and soon enough i left the city. i found myself on the want of based off the national security at all . if i were to be back to hong kong, i will immediately be arrested and be submitted to the national security court. the charges they put on me on the metal ban penalty of it is life imprisonment. we are literally facing the most powerful author at heritage in the world. so we are actually facing david versus goliath battle. ah, if everyone wants to change the country, thought about their personal safety and nothing and history, whatever. we thought we know the risks and we accept them because we think our country deserves so much better than being ruled in
