nobody there in beijing wants that to overshadow what's going on in beijing. xi jinping and the others around him wouldn't have wanted this celebration to be taking place in that context. civil disobedience on the streets, nonetheless that has happened. it has continued up until last week. perhaps it will continue. a controversial extradition bill, to allow some suspects. many have concerns, it now gotten a lot bigger. it's got to be a protest thatis bigger. it's got to be a protest that is centred on suffrage, on democracy and much broader concerns about hong kong's future as part of china. i think the message from xi jinping, and we expect a brief speech from him in a few minutes' time, is going to be about unity, strength and unity. there may be talk as well of an ongoing struggle. that narrative remains very important for china's marxist leaders. also as well, repeated justification for chinese communist pa rty‘s justification for chinese communist party's authoritarian justification for chinese communist pa rty‘s authoritarian dominance justification for

what has beijing done? ignored us completely. stephen: the career lawmaker who not only served in the british colonial legislature but the first president of the post handover legislative council. she served for years on the standing committee of china's parliament, the national people's congress. stephen: we will not allow our opposition to take us down. stephen: the businessman, he founded the clothing chains before becoming a lawmaker and serving as a deputy to the national people's congress. >> i am in the retail business, i do not think i can hang on for the next few months. stephen: the media tycoon. after founding a clothing line, he went into publishing. he produces the apple daily newspaper. he is often a target of beijing's wrath. >> what we are fighting for is the first battle of the new cold war. stephen: how did this situation get dire, and what are the protesters' demands? can be tiedturmoil to carrie lam's refusal to officially draw the extradition bill that she tried to push through the legislature, even as an est

authority is beijing going to wait it out or could the leaders in beijing president xi risk a tiananmen style military crackdown as you can see over the past couple of months now they've been waiting for this to and they've been waiting for this to stop like a natural i'm not sure times to peter out what we haven't seen is like a clear movement there from think the line from beijing side that they could intervene whenever they wanted to with people police or with troops but it does not seem very likely because there's not much to gain also i think we have a problem if we focus on that too much because now anything below that level seems like a good outcome for us. in the west if we think about just the military intervention as being key as being like the that's the red line not to cross them that's a pretty low bar for the chinese government not to ok and they will no doubt take that into consideration as they did today what they were displaying in beijing beijing one of the things we saw there's a new generation of military technology the hypersonic nuclear capable missile out there wa

business and a former beijing correspondent and tonight from washington d.c. bradley bowman with the foundation for defense of democracies bradley is also a military analyst and a former national security advisor on capitol hill gentlemen welcome i want to ask all of you to start off with what kind of china did you see today and brought in let me start with you what picture was presented to you today it was a picture of a economically powerful militarily are all authoritarian government is clearly trying to demonstrate the capabilities that they the some old in recent years and you know which are specifically targeted at the united states and our allies it's a country that wants to push the u.s. out of the region so that it can bully its neighbors. you know what did you see today. i think it's a very powerful and very rich china that's the picture that they want to show the world i think this whole parade had 2 sides to it the one that they show the world that's the military side and internally they also want to project that they are on a successful route whic

we were talking about the strength of the military show in beijing.r the weekend that the numbers of chinese military in hong kong had been step up. 0ut chinese military in hong kong had been step up. out of the protesters expect this to end? i think that's the big question. i've been speaking to the number of protests, organisers, what their plans are. also what their endgame is because as you say, it's highly unlike the beijing giving universal suffrage. they are demanding exactly that alongside other things like the unconditional release of all the arrested protesters, as well as an independent investigation into the allegations of police brutality, the excessive use of force but so far, we've not really seen that many concessions, as the chief executive, mariko 0i, held something of a town hall dialogue. —— carrie lam. they kept repeating the same lines that she supports the hong kong police, that violence must end and it is really ha rd to that violence must end and it is really hard to imagine how violence could come down because week after week

it's good to have you with us if you're a fan of military parades beijing today was your heaven thousands of soldiers goosestepping as one all to celebrate a remarkable anniversary 70 years of the founding of the people's republic a parade months in the making and symbolism and clear in purpose to signal that china is on the rise and it's fair to say president xi jinping minced no words in his speech. sure. they are socialist china stands proudly in the east. there is no power that can shake the position of our great motherland. there is no power that can stop the chinese people and the chinese nation from moving forward. president xi they're standing at the same spot where multitool stood back in 1949 and declared the founding of the people's republic that historic announcement was just the start of one of the most important chapters of world history the rise of china. october the 1st $949.00 mousy don't proclaim the founding of the people's republic of china and gentleman square that ended decades of civil war pitting chairman mao's communists against nationalists mao transformed the fe

controlled choreography in beijing, chaos in hong kong.ar from celebrating the 70th anniversary of the communist revolution, democracy protesters called it a day of mourning. vandalisation escalated, and two protestors were hit with live ammunition. the government then closed the rail network and banned face masks. events in hong kong simply do not fit beijing's birthday narrative of a nation united and on the march. you have been watching china and hong kong for half a century. tell us what is going on now. is carrie lam is going to sort this out? i don't think this is going to be sorted. you know, the face—mask ban which precipitated last night's riots, which were by far the most serious that we have seen, and i think, you know, they were definitely riots. there were fires set on the underground, banks were attacked, individuals were attacked with petrol bombs. this is a hong kong that is really on the edge of something very, very serious. but if you look back at how we got here, at each step there has been a reaction to severe measures

is it really kerry lamb who's calling the shots or is it beijing. my personal view at this point is that it's out of control but she can't fight what she can't go down over a nice and please there are many things you can do sher job is to negotiate with the central government on behalf of wrong on people if she agrees i don't know whether she agrees ok obviously the final say on any of these much these demands meeting them rush with a change for example the final withdrawal of the bill clearly is something that needs to be. given contract by beijing that's right took so long but isn't that the problem that many hong kong must have with this government and with the system you mean a central government no central government it's just a group of people they may have. perceptions they may have conceived positions but being the chief executive on kong it's her job to convey to the central government what hong kong people want right humans can be persuaded can be influenced so that's why the public. have a lot of expectation that carrying them can carry t

that's when beijing will intervene.think beijing will not intervene lightly but nonetheless a desperate insecure communist militant superstate they can do anything. yes, sir. >> [inaudible] >> the question is what will happen in 2047? this is the end of the 50 year time that was promised with the british declaration. i don't know the answer to that and i and that most people in beijing right now are not looking at 2047. i think they're looking at 2019 because right now they've got a situation where they can't really control things. they tried almost every tactic in hong kong and put chinese soldiers into the hong kong police were in hong kong police uniforms and they have brought out the thugs and now have gotten carry lamps and i want to talk to 150 randomly selected people, good luck with that, i don't think that they are thinking that far ahead. they've got two important anniversaries coming up. october 1 when hong kong is not going to be rejoicing in the presumption of chinese rule and by the way, carry lamp cancele

jus to the very volatile situation here we haven't seen many pro beijing supporters or any pro beijing supporters on the streets over the last few hours it is extremely violent here and that of course would be a huge restyle you this morning though we do know that a number of pro beijing activists supporters rather one at a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china here in hong kong but that ceremony really was extremely toned down and in fact the ceremonies were moved inside there was a flag raising ceremony that took place but any dignitaries and officials that were present watched from inside and indeed a fireworks display that would usually take place every year here in hong kong the harbor has also been counseled as well this is a very toned down celebration for the beijing supporters here in hong kong charlotte with this very tense day there in hong kong and the violence you know the protest going over to violence how have authorities there been reacting. but there's been a huge police presence on the streets all day today they have b

i'm sure beijing is telling her quite a lot of what to do and say. i think beijing is still very reluctant to be seen to be acting directly on our in this in this matter and prefers to leave it to the hong kong government but behind out a very strong statements that people should not expect that they can get away with . beijing's point of view that the violence and these kind of things for ever but i think for the moment beijing is not still not interested in involving itself directly refers to use carry lamb and she has. completely failed as emily said to both to engage in anything other than a formal kind of a way and and to listen and more than to listen to respond to the. reasonable requests that have been coming in the past and that this failure to listen or respond is exacerbating the violence in hong kong at the moment. but you're nodding in agreement but just one quick quote to you roderick i mean is is kerry land between a rock and a hard place because basically if she then goes into the legislature legislature on thursday as we expect she w

you had these huge parade in beijing this morning. what the international media going going to remember about today will be the violence in the home cohen and the ongoing political causes him. many of the issues which have been raised by the protests has. remained to be solved and i think today by the level of violence which has been reached on both sides of the protests aside but also on the police side we've entered a new ballgame things are getting more complicated fall i think kerry and i'm the chief executive to get out of the crisis gordon chang in so he wrote in a recent article that china's communist party has little to celebrate and chinese leader is no longer in control of their destiny the same way why well what you've seen is in hong kong we certainly don't control the streets anymore because we have what looks like open warfare including what may be a fatal shooting of an 18 year old and that will trigger a new round of violence you know we have seen in prior history going back to millennia chinese regimes have on travel

what is the mood like in beijing today?ing has been on high-security for weeks and weeks leading up to this parade, with more than 100,000 people involved. it is really about celebrating china's 70 years of communist party rule. that is one more year than how long the soviet union lasted. it highlights china's enormous transformation from an impoverished, war-ravaged state to the world's second-largest economy that is now at the cutting edge of technology. one way to display this a economic and political clout is through a massive military parade, where we saw china show off some of its most advanced military hardware. we got our first public in of one of the worlds longest range -- world's longest range missiles. it is a display of just far -- just how far china has come since 1949. francine: protests in hong kong in the meantime have intensified. >> absolutely. i mean, we are here in the middle of central hong kong, where just a few minutes ago, tens of thousands of people are estimated to already be out on the streets in

here's the bbc‘s robin brant in beijing on what we can expect today. we can get to the route of the parade at the moment. chang'an avenue is where the tanks will roll, where the troops will march. it is going to be quite a spectacle heading down that road in an hour's time. they will be 50,000 members of the military, there's going to be 600 pieces of equipment on show, about 160 aircraft going over. the military, leading into this, have said they don't want it to be seen by the world as a show of force. but this is a chance for china to show, and there will be eagle eyes particularly, i think, looking at some of that new equipment that china's leadership has chosen to display. now, there are some challenges going forward, though, as xijinping, the president, leads these celebrations. and it is a celebration — 70 years since the communists came to power, 70 years of huge progress, as well, in this country. it is still a bit smoggy here. china is still dealing with the consequences of decades of industrial progress. the economy here is also slowing in t

states that would come out of a cost to beijing in turn we expect that the u.s. would perspire in a tariffs increase that's due to take place next tuesday $250000000000.00 of chinese imports and you'd have that tiresome trieste from 25 percent to 30 percent so expect that they'll be a sort of tit for tat on that and that we may well see an agreement along those lines with currency pact. oh we going to see progress on the big issues well we've had the vice at the deputies meeting ahead of this meeting to sort of lay the groundwork there doesn't seem to have been a great deal of progress on those big issues so expect we'll have a sort of smaller deal maybe agrees with an agreement to look at the bigger picture later on of europe briefly is there any way of estimating how much this trade war that has been going on for over a year is costing the world you know the impact is so broad ranging that it would be some incredible math required but it seems like the i.m.f. have done that incredible mass for as they've estimated that it's going to cost the world economy $7000

look at the huge national parade in beijing. there's more than 100,000 participants with 2,019 of them carrying a giant flag. china's military might on full display here. while hong kong remains engulfed in protesters, demonstrators were out early this morning, shutting down the city subway system. will ripley live on the ground in hong kong, with the latest. this started with the controversial extradition bill. what are they protesting now? >> first, they wanted the withdrawal of the extradition bill. that's happened. they have four other demands that remain unmet. the biggest of which, is the right to choose their leaders. something that many of the young people out here say they will continue to be out, continue to protest, continue to fight until they get something that beijing has said will not happen. i want to show you what is unfolding. we're outside the hong kong government complex. this has been a flash point. you see, all of the bricks that have been pulled up from sidewalks, are being stacked here by the protesters.

there was a suicide car bombing in tiananmen in beijing. there was this attack on a train station and that left you know over 20 innocent train travellers massacres quite brutally. that's really when the rhetoric of terrorism really took off as something you could use a label we girls as a group that there are potentially terrorists and so you know using any means necessary is justified. in 26 to saddam. went back to singe and to marry his girlfriend not deal.

provocative message to beijing. while some 2000 kilometers away the chinese president xi jinping watched national day parades. protesters in the territory spent the day on the street calling for more democratic rights for the 17th week in a row for the 1st time the police fired live bullets at demonstrators one student is in hospital in critical condition. but the authorities used tear gas and water cannons to push back the anti-government protesters the police chief called it the most violent and chaotic day for hong kong. want to go you see how why we strongly condemn these actions. we have learned that 25 police officers were injured. and we have arrested more than 180 people who were suspected of being involved in rioting illegal gatherings persisting weapons and attacking police nearly 2000 people have been arrested since june. that's when the pro-democracy activists demanded the government withdraw a controversial extradition bell eventually the hong kong authorities did cancel the bill but the protests contin
