trade war so just a moment we will talk to enter thomas in beijing 1st is going to sir clarke who is and hong kong so sara what is the reaction been there at hong kong. well certainly this is a big win for the pro-democracy movement and it comes not long after the pro-democracy movement had a huge victory or landslide victory in the district council elections but this particular act will be embraced or the signing of the sacked by donald trump will be embraced by the protesters and the prodemocracy lawmakers now the hong kong governor has responded it was found within hours it's told the us to stop interfering in hong kong's internal affairs by city or angrily rejects this particular bill it says it sends the wrong message to the what they describe as the violent protesters who are paralyzed parts of hong kong for around 6 months or so now so certainly an angry response from the hong kong government side pretty much telling the u.s. to but half of their internal turmoil if it is so there has been a standoff at this university give us an update on that apparently police have now entered the campus. where t
