thinking there's a blend thanks for watching. china has warned it will take countermeasures to a new u.s. law backing anti-government protesters in hong kong president donald trump signed a bipartisan bill which threatened sanctions as well as the lifting of favorable trade terms for any human rights violations in the territory thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators took to the streets of hong kong to celebrate the new law many waved u.s. flags and pro-u.s. banners but the bill could weigh on the current trade talks between washington and beijing. and joining me now to talk about this relationship and this bill and how it affects those trade talks. clifford couldn't spend a lot of time of most of his journalistic career so far in china. could we look at this you know talk about this earlier there's really an economic side the political side here. we know that china takes any threats to its sovereignty very seriously and probably would look at what's going on in hong kong as that at the same time so

much economic turmoil going on there a real slowdown is there anything from what you've seen in this response what are its priorities i think in china the political will always trump the economic and if you'll excuse the pun and i think in this case they're kind of also in mashed because to ensure political stability she jinping and his leadership need strong growth so they needed they do need a trade deal at the same time the issue of sovereignty is so important to them and they have put so much store by it over the years that it's hard to see how they can sort of back down almost so i think this will be big discussions in high in the in the government compound in beijing going on tonight but this is really the crux of the issue right can she have both can he have the order that he wants in hong kong as well as the economic growth without a trade deal it would seem that this law seems to tie those 2 together in a way. really intervening in case there is anything in hong kong. would china

threaten the trade deal is it in a position to threaten a trade deal because of hong kong i think it could and i think even though the economy is slowing as you mentioned we know it they need 6 percent growth to ensure that. they creation of jobs and that the economy is growing steadily but i think that it's possible that they could they could take that chance because i think china has quite a lot of reserves and it's got quite a lot of things there that it can kind of ways out a trade deal maybe you know let it go on a bit longer so even though to take the pain i think they need to keep face and to keep sovereignty and i think we can i think we saw in trump's comments as well you know that he also he's aware of this you know because he was quite conciliatory so i think i think it could be the sort of factor and just add some context that we saw 6 percent g.d.p. growth in the 3rd quarter that's considered the lowest since $1009.00 to either leave for china that should be concerning right there i would imagine but let's

look at the other side as you said trump is there does it seem like there's a tendency or willingness to use this bill as a card in the straight talks i think so i mean he's he was talking about how she is an incredible person and he's talking about trump has definitely been trying to show he didn't want to sign the bill i think it was basically he had to because it was bipartisan ceremony for example exactly right he kept a very he was making all kinds of comments about how you know it was against almost against his will while we want to support the hong kong protests so he's trying to juggle the 2 sides a little bit and i think that that's you know i think i think it could become a kind of it could be coming elements of the trade talks but whether whether trump would use it as such or whether to be more the chinese do it and that's where we have to sort of wait and see how that all unfolds now going back to the straight dope we just saw there is of course these elections that turned out very strongly for the demonstrators there seems to be a low right now in the protest could that give china the space it now. aides to

work on this trade deal it could i think i think they've been i think possibly they underestimated the effect of this democracy bill it was just as they underestimated the effect of the elections at the weekend so i imagine that they're taking stock at the moment in trying to come up with a policy of some kind and at the moment there just seems to be quite a roll anger there as you saw in the various statements today but as you say the lol could could be give people a chance to catch their breath maybe think about how how the trade talks to go from here whether or not sovereignty will indeed outweigh the economic is is going to be the big factor all right beijing in a very difficult situation there clifford conant thank you very much and now let's look at some of the other global business stories making news. e.u. lawmakers have approved an increase in u.s. beef exports a conciliatory gesture as both sides square off on trade issues and the move grants american beef producers a greater share of

technology companies that are largely seen as directed at china. and saying in germany the country faces an alarming shortage of qualified nurses the government has now introduced a plan to attract more caretakers from abroad and vietnam is one of their key recruitment areas we visited 2 vietnamese apprentices at their training hospital in rostock. it's monday morning in the neurological ward of the rostock university hospital. and the 2 apprentices to do on t. quinn who are helping a patient. both have already completed training as nurses in their home country of vietnam. nevertheless much is new to them. as i had during my training in vietnam i gave injections are put in drips but washing patients or giving them food was done by other workers. in germany the nurses to perform these

tasks therefore trainees from vietnam have to complete the full 3 year training program once again. like what i see coming. the student nurses are prepared for the german system as part of the training program in their home country still it's not easy for the 2 women. was that it got us i guess it's a very different dialect to the one that i've learned. there are many words i don't know and i'm just learning how to find out how it should be i had a lot of duck accomplished at the beginning you missed 3 interests guide to. $300.00 vietnamese trainees have come to germany under the economics ministry scheme to be at me as apprentices are welcome after all they bring a lot of experience with them. but it challenges the

mentality words like yes or no don't have the same meaning in vietnam as they do in germany. so it's not really this is to some extent problematic in terms of the manuals the because when there are workers lineman's and the question is asked do you understand the vietnamese trainees are likely to say yes because they understood the meaning but perhaps not the content of the question don't home. and this goes to no. co-workers have adjusted to this after all they are workers from over 40 nations and the clinic. you have went to and the one here in the nurses station we have hungary ems we have people from bosnia we have macedonians we have one person from syria so it's very varied and colorful here at the nurses' station this is here. to integrate. currently the last batch of the program is finishing up the 1st year of training in future clinics we'll have to arrange the employment of vietnamese workers themselves. non-alcoholic beer is growing in popularity but
