10:34 am
an unprecedented move? the communist party is set to extend his tenure as later. but what does it mean for china's future, both at home and abroad? this is inside story. ah hello and welcome to the program. i'm emily angland. he is the most powerful communist leader in china since mows the dong now the communist party congress, which is held every 5 years, is set to extend a president sheet in pings leadership for historic 3rd term. this will of course, have significant impact on the world's 2nd largest economy and the region at lunch . she used his opening speech to declare beijing's of global power had increased while warning of dangerous storms ahead. he called for faster military growth than
10:35 am
defended his government 0 close that approach. he also raised the issue of hong kong, saying it must be ruled by what he calls patriots. the new leadership lineup is expected to be revealed in about a week from now. we'll get to our guests in just a moment, but 1st this report from adrian brown and president. ching ping's grip on power would now appear absolute. if he has enemies good, the hidden or a mode or both. but some of those who chronicled, she's curious, say you don't get to the top of chinese politics without eliminating rivals and making enemies. he does, but it needs to be said that the congress has an active state pageantry. the fact that this congress is happening means that these rivals have already been largely pushed to the sidelines. after becoming communist party chief a decade ago, she vowed to root out dishonest officials,
10:36 am
both high ranking tigers and low level flies. the campaign went down well with the public, especially when it in snared powerful and wealthy figures. bocce eli was the rising star of chinese politics, even tip as a future president. but within months of she becoming leader bo was serving a life sentence for corruption and abuse of power. no one was untouchable, including joe young kang, the man who'd be in charge of state security. he said he's also serving a life term for corruption and disclosure of state secrets, and the purge is not over and more than 4000000 people have been caught up in it. so it's been a very effective tool, procedure paying to both instill discipline within the communist party, but also clamped down on his rivals. other analysts say the continuing campaign against corruption ahead of this congress would ensure that she strengthens his
10:37 am
hand over appointments to key decision making bodies. she has led china per decade. now he's expected to end precedent by being appointed to a 3rd term as party chief. so having seized control of the chinese communist party cg, playing then seize control of china, and china has become a lot less free, a lot more oppressive, far less open than it was 10 years ago. it's an accumulation of power. i've seen since chairman now and nobody to since him has built a personality cold as strong adrian brown al jazeera. ah, i was bringing, i guess, seen by jing. victor gow is vice president of the center for china and globalization in hong kong. andrew lee, young and international,
10:38 am
an independent china strategist and in, in albany in u. k. a. stephen vines, the author of the book, defying the dragon, hong kong and the world's largest dictatorship. a very warm welcome to each of you, andrew. i'd like to start with you. she's power remain strong inside the c. c. pay that certainly not in doubt. but what about outside it? are the tides turning against she domestically and internationally? well, this is a natural, almost development and even you. ready a panda would become a 1000000 pounds and then your presence felt and your influence will. ready raise concerns of and then psyche and your labor or your challenger overseas rival. but i did that the c s
10:39 am
is taking it seem to be taking china. ready to a higher plane, a lot of the, the western media is concentrating on certain specific aspects like the cold with the. ready alex 0 policy and complete control with mark. so i want, but actually in speech is much more than that. it is no less than a decoration or a strategic stage in child development. because if you look at how china for all over the past decades, you know, trying to sort of. ready a pool country and then i was actually have to hi is like under the show and of course have to keep the local bar because starter simply does not have the comprehensive part of the defense of interest. now john is
10:40 am
under the tutelage all the time is under spotty and regain china's national so called to project a. ready play and that's what this conference is all about. it's not about a presidency is holding on to power because he highlighted the problems and challenges. china was based in this chance that actually. ready an international, a domestic because of the demographics and i need to grow self reliance in that knowledge is subject to us sanctions and so, so and, and, and it's sort of a star like so the consensus about the parties that see is the band, the job speaking of shaping the man to do the job, steve, and i wanted to ask you,
10:41 am
just how popular is she among people in china? are they happy to see him stay on for a 3rd time? well the, the simple answer to that question is, we don't know. because there is no freedom of expression in china. the impression is that people do supportive. but the reality is because you live in a society where nobody can be say what they really feel unless like, you know, mr. long, who just because the party lot. and this, they're doing that, it's very difficult to know what we do know, and it's very interesting is that in the wider world, you have the surveys or the peer institute, which measures popularity of various world leaders and countries. i mean, the outside world, the popularity and appreciation of the people's republic of china has declined very
10:42 am
rapidly in practically all countries of the world. since the accession of general secretary, she the to go, i want to pick up on what stephen just said in terms of the censorship. we bombarded with images of strength and the power of the si, se pain and essential shape of china is, is no secret. but doesn't that also highlight the insecurity of the party and she given they're afraid of even the slightest criticism. those are so please allow me to remind our audience that china has the most dynamic and very sophisticated internet system. everyone is wary. a speaker in front of him, arrow, and talks about things at his will on the mobile phone in the internet for example . and i think this is the reality in china. now, china does have says issue. there is a short list of things that people are not around to talk about. for example,
10:43 am
hawaii independence, hong kong, independent to better the, the banners we go independent. for example. these are couple issues and china and the challenged people. so all the government inc stamping out these very controversial issues for example, and we all united together to fight against the separatist double bonds in taiwan. or originally, a couple of years ago you, hong, hong, this is not to dissent. this is really people getting together for, for the same direction of maintaining sovereignty and territorial integrity. if anyone believes that china does not have freedom of expression on the internet or your mobile phone, then come to china and see what exactly is happening on the ground. now i would say the chinese consumers spend more time on internet and on their mobile phone, probably them people in many other countries. part of the reason is because the broadband system is very good. 5, g is very popular,
10:44 am
and affordability of the smartphones in china is very popular. so she, you should remind everyone that china is one of the best connected countries in the world. a raw talks about every being on the internet except that short list of couple issues. i want to get to that list in just a minute. then stephen, i noticed you are shaking your head there in disagreement while la andry you were nodding. well, i mean, the facts of the matter, and this is well known to both the guess is that there is not a limited number of subjects which are to there's a very vast number of subjects who and just let's take one example. during the cove, it crosses, which is still raging. access to the internet was shut down to people who criticize the authorities for the way they were handling the pandemic. it's also fact the chinese citizens cannot legally access the world wide where, i mean,
10:45 am
astonishing that this has just been mentioned. all of the internet is very tightly controlled. china does not have access, for example, to apps such as google, such as walks. all of these search engines, and all of these communication apps are developed independently in china and of very severely controlled. and if you're a person who's known to have said anything loosely on one of these devices, you can shut down. it's as simple as that. let's bring the conversation, i guess back to the congress and to shoot him. ping's ladyship and andrew, what impact has the draconian 0 coded policy had on? she's a leadership and also he's popularity. well 1st of all, i like to address the perception that somehow the chinese communist party is unstable, or the society seems a bit of
10:46 am
a backlash against the party. well, this is a complete travesty of the truth. and i'm referring to the harvard kennedy school study, which came out 6 or 9 months ago. and it's a long to, to, to know that it's not just the one all is based on a track record of similar studies in the past using the kennedy schools. but prior to the search tools which compiled the company's party government is the most of. busy the bodies people compare with other countries. ready many other countries including western democracies and. ready the united states, in fact, multiple ranks about the united states as much as 80 or 90 percent of the people support the companies party because the lives have changed the recklessly and those 2 h over so many years regardless of the regime regardless of what type of government, you have, i think the test of the putting it,
10:47 am
whether people have experience, you know, better lives, you know, better likelihood and the expiration. so all these metrics, the child is going to start this, but highly supportive bodies, people. so this kind of rhetoric about differences in freedoms, because each countries have different political, historical, and, and various other differences. i mean, it just like the family know, the way i read my family is very different. go your ways, your family and to expect that there is a one dimensional thing. i think that this is a travesty show. but coming back. yeah. question about the 0 kind of policy. what impact is that had on his leadership and going forward on his popularity because we have seen protest, i mean, even a few days before the congress party, they weigh images. and banners being put up on a bridge in the,
10:48 am
in the north west of bank, jean. well, that was a long kind of thing. and as i said, a lot change the reality of every joint of the, of the times people support the part about coming back to the fact that it's, i think the best of the see also explain that of course, the light all the time is people who are on much higher plane compare with. if you look at the rate of the pandemic you get out of state. 1000000 people die in the united states because of the pandemic as population is 4 times the speakers united states. so if you adopt the similar kind of measures in the united states and then those, the risk that china would place for that. and these cars in that scenario impact most on the most vulnerable groups of the elderly. ready or the, the less privilege. so this is completely
10:49 am
a comment on impact that we can all agree on is the impact on the economy. and if i can address the question to you, victor gal, what's been the impact on china's economy as a result of the 0 current policy? and will she soften his approach going forward? do you think? well, 1st of all, talk you about the call. the 19th pandemic, china has the highest success rating fighting of this pandemic. and i agree with mr . lee on in terms of the death raise my infection rates. china has the lowest rates, that means china save them all people from infections, home, from deaths, from the chinese perspective. heard immunity is really an indication of the completely competence of the governments involved. because they cannot save their old people. they cannot prevent the wide spread of the pandemic. as a result, the people become victims, they lose their lives, they get infectious. they go to ice, yours in china. we want to do the other way and allow me to emphasize was again,
10:50 am
every contrast there, i did come up with his old way to deal with the pandemic. and channels way is to prevent as many people as possible from getting fictions of dying from rack the cove. it meant a panoramic. now, you talked about economic costs, allow me to man emphasize that china has made its choice completely and fully aware of economic costs. that means after weighing all the costs, economically the channel is god was still decided to save as many people as possible because we do believe saving people's lives, including elderly people, is very much part of the human rights for the chance people we want to prevent as many people from dying or infections from the academy, and this will be the continued focus. now, the dynamic 0 call the policy does not mean it will not be changed or modified
10:51 am
originally. it was 2 weeks plus one week, $21.00 days in total. now it's 7 days plus 3 days. and i truly believe that after that had their party congress, it probably will be reduced down to 5 days or 2 days or another one they example. so it is being modified and eventually we all want to have life going back to normal, but much on the pre condition, the more people get infectious and more people in china died. brian infectious victor guy, you mentioned human rights, which brings me to my next issue that i want to address stephen, i'll address this to you. a human rights report from the un said china was responsible for serious human rights violations in the shin. young province is she's continued tenure as later a disaster for human rights. as amnesty international has described it. i don't think there's any serious question the human rights in china,
10:52 am
which were already the very low level her to, to rated and of the period of teaching things rule in, in john, in the regions of china. of course that has become a very dramatic situation with the ledge genocide, with literally hundreds of thousands of people being in turned with mass sterilizations or weaker females, et cetera, et cetera. and of course, i mean it's, it's not just in engine jag, i mean, in, in hong kong, a free society, which was guaranteed on the international treaties to be able to maintain its way of life, has now found most forms of freedom, most forms of liberty extinguished and the jails are full of political prisoners. so if the question is, has there been anything other than a deterioration of human rights in china? the answer is very emphatic. it has got worse. and i think the longer you have
10:53 am
not only one party rule, because obviously that's what you have in china. but one man rule the toleration for any form of descent within the borders of the p r c is going to actually continue to move downwards. and why didn't she mention since young, specifically in his speech to congress today? well, i think that this is highlighted, of course, by the west all the time. i've been doing the, the past couple of months or more. yeah. which is course, as i said, a complete travesty because you know that the acquisition, of course labor you would look at the, the way that for example, court is collected, is completely mechanized. so was the post labor. and of course though, there's no doubt that a lot of the m,
10:54 am
as in jan activities or separate them have been arrested. or this is a factor like any other country nationalist, it would be simple. but the say, the say this general side, i think over the pulse, but i think that this is a very important part of china's problems and those of a strategic position. so this on the west stations are completely bonded as part of his immunization of china. that's why i need the un human rights report, the united nations human rights report is inaccurate. well, it is a, at least, you know, sort of partially, it's not completely inaccurate because they stop a. the accusations are based on evidence of even always, single certain cases. i mean, you can look at the prisoners and what color will bay for example and say,
10:55 am
the whole united states is i think, the polio a country like was, i'm not saying that as part of a suspect, as in jack. but it was not a personal of extent, so every country has. ready has its own national security and is the most important imperative, right. but i think a lot of accusations that completely over the false. speaking of the u. s. l. direct this question to victor, victor. she is called the military growth. that's obviously coming in mid tensions with washington. how the relationship with the u. s. play out during she's 3rd 10. and you very much before i al 0 question, mileage on the us relations allow me to very quickly talk about john. you may know the united nations human rights commission defeated a draft resolution proposed by the united states and many western countries accusing channels, human rights violations. the change are and if you read the numbers,
10:56 am
most of those countries which defeat the u. s. sponsor, the resolutions are actually are countries. i wasn't conscious that beings, they support channels position. and they believe that the false accusations wrought by the united states and western countries about human rights situation in change are completely fabricated. and i think i agree with mr. leon, in his assessment the situation and king john will remain part of the chinese territory. and the way go, people will always remember our brothers and sisters. and the false accusations will really not be generated or turned into any concrete actions. because china sovereignty overseeing joe will be i in class, mr. gal, where are your solar time? so if you wanted to respond to my question about what she is in, that would be right exactly. trying. the u. s. relations are really deteriorating and united states has not come to terms with the fact that china will soon surpass
10:57 am
bag of the united states as far as the size of the carbon is concerned. and the also worried that was travis of houses, that all the united states, china will replace the united states as the top dog in the world. childless view is just the opposite channels. economic development will continue adding less than 10 years time. probably much less than that. china size will be calling me will be that bigger than that i'll need out of state. however, china seas no foreign of becoming the next top dog. although why? because china wants to cheat every country because boy, in the world as a me call and child there will never impose its ways. it's views and it's way of doing things on to any other country in the world. well, it's certainly a conversation which has ignited a lot of passion and i appreciate all of you for taking the time to speak with us. unfortunately, we have run short of time so we have to leave it there. but thank you to all of our guests, victor gao, angela young and steven vines,
