7:10 am
aah! place of right at the main headquarters of should is he is biggest opposition. party, it came hours after not a party leader rashid canoe. she was arrested at his home. police say he was detained for questioning on the orders of the public prosecutor. good. her, she is a made a potent a president. kai is sired who's been accused of orchestrating a power grab after he suspended parliament in 2021. william laurence is a professor of international relations at the american university and a former u. s. diplomat to tunis here. he says that she does, he and president is expanding his cracked out on opponents. mrs. the 10th time it's been held and interrogated since the crew of the summer 2021. the question was, you know, how far would they going to go this? we're hearing, they shut down the party headquarters and evacuated it,
7:11 am
and this was all precipitated by a speech. he gave us pensively on sunday night in which he said that shutting down the political opposition was tantamount to starting a civil war. and they're making that comment that he made into an active site, and that's what they brought him in again for the 10th round of questioning, but in a much more direct union way. on the 27th night aroma done. they came to his house before they were coming in the day and arresting them respectfully. this is an affront, and this is to, to trigger and to instill fear in the political opposition, which is trying to get organized around opposing the president, the president, to that parliament. and he has more power in the constitution than this president will only had to portfolios defense and foreign affairs before he did the crew to take over. not only all of the executive portfolios but the entire lar, entire legislative function and all of the judiciary. so we grabbed it all for itself and again, taking away those powers from the parliament, which itself was
7:12 am
a product of years, a deliberate calibration between the 2 nation part parties. this new constitution was written basically by one man to make himself all powerful. china's economy grew a faster rate than expected in the 1st quarter of this year. the government data shows the gross domestic product rose 4.5 percent between january to march compared to last year. that's half percent more, but analysts full cost. china's economic recovery has been on the scrutiny now to the government abruptly lifted it strict 0 cove it pandemic restrictions. andrew kahlea is the managing director of orient capital research, which conducts independent research on china. he joins us now live from hong kong, andrew, for the half percent. that's not bad and puts china on target for its modest 5 percent growth target for the year. but to what extent is it down to a post pandemic bones?
7:13 am
well, it's very much part of a post pandemic balance. us what the part that worries me, i mean retail sales were up 10.6 percent in march, which is quite healthy. but most of that increase was due to people leaving their homes post coded and going out dining in various places, their actual sales of hard goods, like autos and things like washing machines has been pretty weak. the other part of the story that is worrisome is that a lot of this is being driven by a debt raised by local governments. their expenditure was up 6.8 percent. but their actual revenue was up only owe point 5 percent. so they're borrowing money from the banks. the property market has been ok. that's been the one slightly bright markets . it's now in positive territory after being in negative territory for a long time. but i'm still worried under the cover, there's a lot of structural problems in china. so after missing its growth target for last year, we'll china be able to sustain this level of growth throughout the rest of the year . what are, what are the, the potential port holes along the way?
7:14 am
well, i don't, i don't trust their g d p number anyway, because most of that is pretty heavily manipulated in beijing. so i look at what's going on at the one good figure was a parent oil demand was up 9.5 percent, which does suggest that there's some economic activity out there. but i'm beginning to think that a lot of that i could to activity was driven by additional debt fuel by local government investment in infrastructure and other areas. because i'm not seeing a lot of private activity that's growing. unemployment among youth is up to $99.00 over 19 percent. it's actually rising. so underlying economy is still fairly weak. exports has been decent that that could help them, but the global economy is looking weeks. i'm not sure that's as good as sustained for the rest of the year. you say you don't trust the official g d p figures are the days of double digit growth for china now. well and truly over that's, that's it. never to return. oh very much. so the question is,
7:15 am
what will they have negative growth? will they go into negative charge or it will they have a financial crisis like they did in japan? are we going to have a period of a decade of no growth at all? i mean that's what worries a lot of people because you got this huge debt bubble that's collapsing and that's driven 30 to 40 percent of growth. so once you get rid of the property market, then what do you have that's going to sustain that. and you know, 10 semiconductors and artificial intelligence is not going to take you that far, andrew, or was good to talk to many thanks to you for being with sandra calia that in hong kong. foreign ministers from the g 7 group of nations are expected to reaffirm their support for peace and stability across the taiwan strait as they hold a 3rd and final day of talks in japan. the meeting coincides with heightened tension with china following its military drills around the island last week. beijing seize the self governing island as a breakaway province. sounds as soon as rob mcbride is following the talks in the resort town of caraway's, our the intention that they en this on hand shakes and smiles they are
