a top. let's go now to the sea reporter laura westbrook from hong kong newspaper the south china morning post she has more on the story for us good morning to you we've seen a quick and heavy crackdown in hong kong is this a sign of a new and tougher approach by beijing. yes i think it is the protests which had been going on since last year have become increasingly more violent as we saw yesterday and the slogans like revolution of our times and calls for hong kong independence by some of the more radical protesters i think beijing ish is saying that this is something that it no longer is willing to tolerate and it sees the hong kong protests as a direct threat to national security over the past few months beijing is also made accusations of foreign interference in the protests now the princess just deny this and beijing is not preachy used any evidence of outside forces directing the
11:03 am
protests on the ground but i think it's also important to look at these protests and beijing's approach in the context of its relationship with the u.s. which is soured in because of the trade war and the coded 19 pandemic last year the u.s. congress passed the hong kong human rights and democracy act which mandates an annual review on hong kong so tonally that gives it its special trading status with the u.s. and that review is coming up and home and the u.s. national security advisor has said this little could warrant sanctions in hong kong and china so i think china is looking at hong kong as increasingly a weak link in its national security that could potentially be exploited by the u.s. ok still the protesters are talking about local issues how are they likely to respond and could we see a return to the huge demonstrations of last year. yes i think it's important to
11:04 am
remember what sparked those protests last year it was and now withdraw an extradition bill that would have seen crazy fugitives in hong kong sent to mainland trying to face trial there now people saw that as a challenge to hong kong's reasons that it enjoys under one country 2 systems and this national security legislation is also seen as a challenge to hong kong as one country 2 systems principle that gives it freedom of speech and the right to assembly and this freedoms that you don't see in mainland china and i think a lot of people here are really worried that those freedoms we will be a rated by this new national security legislation and so yes we're probably going to see more protests as we saw yesterday and briefly if you could though laura the law that we're talking about would give china the power to deploy security forces in hong kong what is beijing have mind yeah a lot of things still need to be ironed out but one of the proposals that has been
11:05 am
announced is that the main lines kids have agencies in hong kong and potentially mainland agents operates in hong kong enforcing this new national security legislation now the hong kong government says that they would still be subject to local law but many people have questions how that would work and obviously it's got some people in hong kong quite worried because mainly the mainland china does use national security legislation to go off to journalists activists and even lawyers so that's an announcement has got some people worried about how exactly that will what given hong kong's law structure in hong kong system laura westbrook for us from the south china morning post thanks so much for coming in to us. it's true the u.s. now in the white house is imposing travel restrictions on brazil starting may the 28 foreign nationals will be banned from entering the u.s.
