are we going to have enough humanity to make it possible for everyone or some people are going to say i want everything. to be poor and die it allows individuals to discover their humanity they have to learn a new meaning for life and new things to do that's a social revolution and hopefully we can move too slowly. this is. china interfering in foreign universities campuses that's the question as to clash with those see it as being and trying to get this new from australia. who. the real life drama. rescue hits the big screens we get a sneak peek of the about the mission of boys for. i'm

british friend welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us from democracy protests in hong kong up getting university students against each other 7000 kilometers away in australia over the last few months some university campuses have become battleground between pro beijing students and those supporting the pro-democracy protests in hong kong the old occasions of raised fears of chinese government interference in foreign universities i'll be talking to a student and an analyst later in the program but 1st this report. i. still feel as of australia's university of queensland in july when probation.

demonstrators disrupted a rally in support of the hong kong protests. video posted on social media showed the 2 sides hurling abuse at each other while the chinese national anthem blasted from a speaker. this was not an isolated incident on a campus where about 17 percent of students come from china protesters critical of beijing's policies are frequently come fronted by chinese communist party loyalists . it's a situation echoed in other international universities with large chinese student bodies at the university of all clinton new zealand a video posted on you tube showed the he said exchange between pro hong kong demonstrators and supporters of china. is different from china was part of china

every day like china was ok i got a lot of time i was telling you that it was. a lenin will at the college and others around the world have been vandalized multiple times the walls made up of messages of support have been a key feature of the hong kong protests at simon fraser university in canada a man was filmed ripping down the notes. it's tactics like these that have raised concerns because they could threaten freedom of speech on campus. protesters also say they have been intimidated and threatened after taking part in student rallies against china with much of the abuse happening on chinese social media platforms like we chat or weibo. your mamma does a student of the university of adelaide in australia has been at the number of

these demonstrations where pro and anti china students have faced off against each other i began by asking how these interactions have generally been. some of the protests it does it is quite simple as the others they do get a bit heated so on one side you have the prayer of hong kong as chanting or having a couple of speeches and on the other side you have the perpetrator needs practiced . singing chinese national and the also chanting slogans that a lot of these princes. open mike and we allow the chinese students to come and speak if they want to when those who do speak quite civilized they do try to put civilized in the traits of. our experiences but they're also quite closed minded and they don't want to answer although they are asked to understand

it also don't want to so they do get a bit confusing seeing them in the perspective of the pray pray chinese students that are going out of their friends are and there have been reports in the media of a perhaps there is some state backing for a lot of the pro china students do you agree with that do you find that do you think do you see on campus that potentially there could be some backing from certain quarters for these proton a student. i do believe that there may be some sort of financial backing also pull from the chinese government was these changes as i haven't seen it firsthand in regards to the students here in adelaide i do believe we have the student politics elections a couple weeks ago we had a critical international voice which is majority chinese students international international chinese students there were reports afterwards that these students were telling the chinese students that if they didn't support them if they didn't

vote for them that they would eventually they would be deported back to china so there were these kind of threats that may be linked to woods that government system but they're not quite proven to have in other instances with all the presence in the last company is where chinese communities trannies families and chinese international students have come out. supporting the haps chinese official member coming to australia with protesting against his arrival. i have been supported by the chinese consulate. student adil our daughter mohamad there let's bring in alex yassky from the capital now alex is and i mr be australian strategic policy institute and he has done a lot of research on and that chinese interference in australia and it's good to have you on the program can i just ask you of the outset does it look like the

chinese state is on this treaty or supporting students who are protesting on australian university campuses. thank you the very least we know that the chinese government is encouraging these kinds of activities the consulate has really statements encouraging students to show their patriotism and protect china's sovereignty and there's a lot of evidence that groups linked to the chinese government are involved in orchestrating some of these protests the australian government has set up a task force to look up chinese interference in australian university campuses how is the task force going to proceed what are the things they're going to be looking at will be looking at a whole range of areas including research collaboration freedom of speech and some of these issues around what the chinese communist party is trying to do to influence students and discussions on university campuses to be

a form that brings together the israeli government with university officials closely to deal with these issues but and it's why is it so easy for the chinese embassy or for the chinese government to be able to encourage and support these protests on australian university campuses surely there must be some of the australian government can do for a long time the history in government and universities have really turned a blind eye. to a lot of the work that the chinese government does on our university campuses to do influence networks and to be able to mobilize chinese students and in fact there are very few she levers that the government currently has to deal with this issue there is simply this initially such a large number of organizations and into the chinese government operating on campuses to influence politics into its discussions and protect the interests of the chinese communist party so how effective this task force really be that the

government has a point of. i think it will be effective in getting the universities and selves to do more because ultimately the real challenge should be on how universities do more to integrate chinese students to protect him from surveillance and intimidation by the chinese communist party and it's only by getting your losses on more that i think the government can deal with these issues the alternate argument of course here would be that chinese students or if you call them probe ageing students they have an equal right to protest and to voice their opinions on australian universities and that should not be seen as interference would that be fair to say i think i think there is. in history as a free and democratic society we do tolerate voices from all kinds of perspectives of a difference and part of the concern here is that the chinese government does seem to be having a role in some of these activities so rather than being genuine expressions of

political picture like sentiments these activities this irritated by the chinese government and also also facilitated by the topic and all that it is garner the sees through platforms like the certainly at we chat alex from the australian strategic policy institute thank you very much for that they did their photograph the one of the german drivers are racing against time and water to rescue 12 boys and their soccer courts from a flooded cave in thailand they've been trapped for more than 2 weeks inside a deep mountain the ordeal in 2018 had barely ended when film maker started their own race to get the main biting drama into cinemas the 1st of those films it's the screen this weekend with director tom well as their cave premiering in south korea . i already know they read right words wrong and you're not in the attic you have
