is produced. fight to save. the battle against. i'm british welcome to. it's good to have you with us the fight for democracy in hong kong is going regional less than a 2 off light away in taiwan it is being viewed as a test of the one country 2 systems principle it's the arrangement china has in hong kong and believes it could be applied to taiwan which it views as a break every province i know this week in taiwan hong kong pro-democracy activist joshua warren said this principle had collapsed a significant comment ahead of the 1st which will be the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china. what we hope urged.

people to an october where one country. we. call. in hong kong to fight. well aware of. hong kong. and that's all he has already been on display on this island in june mostly young people rallied in support of the pro-democracy protests in hong kong to shore support isn't hard to understand if you look at where taiwan is the chinese mainland and taiwan are separated by the taiwan straits i just only 131 kilometers wide at its narrowest point and china has never let go of its claim over taiwan so what's the connection between these claims and support

in taiwan for hong kong for test movement did have a correspondent william yang joins us from hong kong with a possible explanation william good to see you is there a link is there a connection between china's claims over taiwan and support on the island protest movement. perish china's claim over taiwan especially since the president's office in $26.00 thing has really intensified and that really drive a lot of the younger generation in taiwan to really become more aware about their need to defend taiwan's democracy and tolerance e and in 2014 when the umbrella movement broke out there's the old so a similar awareness in taiwan that's brewing and so this time around when the whole anti extradition bill movement broke out in taiwan hong kong there is the sentiment

in taiwan is definitely also a pain a very close eye over to what's happening and developing in hong kong especially when the protesters are repeatedly reminding their peers and taiwan that don't believe one country 2 systems a claim that china and also some pro china politician our nation and offering to taiwan these people as the way to maintain filippi in the cross trade relations so we're more too soon as boost to become congress becoming the test bed for the one country 2 systems principle and this is being watched in taiwan. yes exactly the one country 2 systems plane was a very strong point for a lot of the proton up politicians in taiwan but however ever since the whole anti expedition movement escalate and really develop into a very widespread 3 month long. protest in hong kong people in taiwan

the pressure on these approaches to politicians have also rising in taiwan and this has forced them back down and backtrack their original position and then you know kind of like corner more and to align their. position with the 5 mainstream opinion which is to reject and turned. the offer of accepting one country exists and an offer to reunite which i wonder what is where where that puts taiwan because china does don't recognise taiwan's what are the voices exist in taiwan for independence and now do supports the hong kong focused movement has done taiwan on the collision course with china. yeah definitely as we know ever since her independence a democratic progressive party took our in 2016 the relationship between taiwan and china has really frozen and this time around the awareness and be.

eagerness to really defend and highlight taiwan thorens he has really rise and this really has not helped improve relations but rather china has repeatedly come out and condemned the taiwanese administration for openly supporting the supply of demonstrators hong kong on the street. speaking to us from hong kong thank you very much for that thank you. and taiwan support for the hong kong protesters again up to compared to earlier this week in an essay from taiwanese. choose an influential voice in the chinese speaking world she compared the protest movement in hong kong to a small and fragile egg facing a wall of steel she ended with this how do we treat an egg we bend down gently pick it up and hold it in the palm of our hand we take care that we don't break it

that essay was widely slammed in china our critics are saying ignores the violence triggered by protesters trying to state run media accuse us of turning a blind eye to 3 months of chaos in hong kong writing blocking the airport writing in the subway and setting fires on the streets how is that an egg. and this year kept it a lot more succinct writing simply freedom democracy rotten egg. it's been one month since india's hindu nationalist government stripped its part of course me off its special status that move accompanied by a security and communications clampdown that's to continue it's a clampdown that's left me residents desperate to get in touch with the outside world. srinagar in indian kashmir a father and son walk to the post office clutching a letter to
