to escape the chinese communist party. we afraid of civil war again. i'm from taiwan, and i'm afraid of civil war again. and the chinese people, afraid of another tienanmen square. you know, those revolutions killed a lot of chinese people. and that's why the chinese community really don't like the communist party. after we come here, we started learning the culture, learning the language, and you know, here is our home. we are part of society right now. and the main reason here we come to pursue our dreams, but after -- and also to get out of the c.c.p. but now, you are naming the chinese spy after chinatown stations. and we feel it's hard to tell how our feeling is. we come here for our dreams, and we cannot pursue our dream here. so i just want to ask all of the supervisors, when you support the resolution, before you vote for yes, do you think about, like, why so many people here to object this resolution. and have you seen the statue of a democracy in a chinatown? you know what that means? that means that 10,000 people, family, killed by the chines

she didn't do that, and that's why she's called an unregistered chinese communist party agent. she was registered with the communist party in china. naming a subway station after rose pak is like honoring a secret agent from the chinese communist party. san franciscans do not approve that. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi. my name is chippy yen, and i would like to reference a hoover institution report that came out in 2018, and it spoke about the systematic infiltration of the chinese communist party in the united states, even down to the local government level. and rose pak represents that. i would -- she -- as many sources already indicate, she is a foreign agent of the chinese communist party, and i would like to play a little recording of a phone interview with supervisor peskin from a couple of years ago. >> her name is rose pak, but it's not just about what rose pak represents. rose pak has been able to work with people to get undue influence in gaining city contracts, in gaining land use approvals to build new buildings in san francisco. it is

keep in mind what the communist party has stated, that the role of the chinese citizen is to serve the communist here party. it is the ultimate power in the universe. if we look at tibet, tibet has been a sovereign nation over the millenials and where the daly llama has come from. in 1959 there was an armed conflict between the people and the p.l.a. it involved the killing of 87 ,000 people. during occupation of tibet, there were tortures, killings, ottom barredments of monasteries. what they have done, they have erased them, erasing as much of the people and moved in the population to the point that population. the nd in tibetan are culture, the he is not chosen by the people. and chosen by the child. daly llama in their ulture. when the next one was born, they kidnapped him. they said, we have the real child and they brought it forth. i found this hob hideous and just offensive, bhg a christian would be e are that like king herod going to the manger, taking jesus christ, and saying that's not the lord and savior, you got it wrong. and they kidnap him and put him -- put somebody they

based on all evidence, she just is a chinese communist party spy. and what she did was just persecuted a lot of kind americans and a lot of kind chinese in america. they all include many in san francisco. so she totally did things if go against americans' freedoms. but i wanted to ask mr. peskin, i wanted to ask you why your support -- >> clerk: please direct your comments to the board as a whole. don't single anyone out. >> okay. why just support a person who goes against american spirit? so i think you all are making history. so i don't want you to become a history -- [inaudible] >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisor. my name is andrea. i want to say something. on may 14, during the board of supervisors meeting, supervisor peskin admitted that rose pak was a complex person, but then, he stated that rose pak contributed to the chinese subway station and should be commemorated. i think that's overstated. hitler built railroads and fridays in germany, including the world's first highway system, the autobahn. if you wan

communist party agent. that was the highest political body within the chinese communist party. the issues -- the director mentioned that rose pak was trying to start -- stir up the issue using that. she was taking that issue, and using that most convenient excuse. >> she was always for gay rights >> she was trying to stir up issues. >> if there is another sentence that you would like to say to finish your time, please speak. >> do not pass this, please do not let her name be attached to the studio. >> thank you for the respect that you and director torres showed each other. >> i am a refugee from the soviet union. in 1990, i came to america because of anti-semitism. twenty years, i am practising, i am a very good person. i am 82 years old, but i am full of energy. if rose pak is a good person how you explain, why she never let us attend parade for chinese new year? why she hate -- why she hate our principles, why if she is such a good person? thank you very much. >> thank you very much for being here today. we appreciate it. next speaker, please. >> sir, if you need to help her

to escape the chinese communist party. we afraid of civil war again. i'm from taiwan, and i'm afraid of civil war again. and the chinese people, afraid of another tienanmen square. you know, those revolutions killed a lot of chinese people. and that's why the chinese community really don't like the communist party. after we come here, we started learning the culture, learning the language, and you know, here is our home. we are part of society right now. and the main reason here we come to pursue our dreams, but after -- and also to get out of the c.c.p. but now, you are naming the chinese spy after chinatown stations. and we feel it's har

this is the way the chinese communist party operates, of course. if you're a friend of china you get all kinds of benefits. he has gotten a lot. where does he stand on this? is he going to be weak on china? >> laura: well, steve, here is what was amazing. the 30th anniversary of tiananmen square and cbs reporter goes there to tiananmen square and shows tanks putting down the student-led protests and it has been erased from the popular memory just like the soviets did with erasing their own history. totally erased. that is how they operate. and they are enemies of history, enemies of truth, enemies of free expression yet we have had all these wall street types, all these venture capitalists who have made a boat load of money and they want to keep it business as usual. do you think that china would be far happier if biden was able to win the election in 2020? last answer. >> obviously. they think he is their guy. we're talking about the biggest killing machine in history. the chinese communist party has killed tens of millions of people in political

to the chinese communist party.nder of the company told journalists in january that no law in china requires any company to that no law in china requires any com pa ny to install that no law in china requires any company to install mandatory backdoors. it requires them to participate. a bit of tit—for—tat. in the end, the arbiter of that will be xijinping in the in the end, the arbiter of that will be xi jinping in the chinese communist party so it is not the ability of mr ren to stop the mandate. you have these concerns and you have been on various missions trying to —— dissuade europeans from allowing huawei another chinese telecommunications to be involved in the auction of 56. what are they saying? a number of governments are understanding we are on this path of education together that comes from the supply chain. everyone knows we should increase our cyber security capabilities across telecommunications infrastructure and but they know with 56 because of what it resents, the need to be more careful about the su

as you know, she represented the interests of the chinese communist party, not the chinese americans living in the chinatown area. the c.c.p. lied to the world and used their lies as justification to suppress information around the world, and especially the brutal persecution of practitioners in china. rose pak was deceived by the lies from the c.c.p. if you support rose pak and the naming of the subway station after here, you are indirectly supporting the lies of the c.c.p. as you know, 30 years ago, the chinese government opened fire on tienanmen square, and they killed thousands of people. and even after 30 years ago today, they are still denying their behavior. so we have to keep in mind, they lie to the world all the time. lying is their strategy. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> i can easily imagine that many among the tens of millions of tourists visiting san francisco's historic chinatown over the coming years from nations all over the world could easily find themselves confused over rose pak station, particularly given that the name is stric

and other things they've learned, they must prevent the rise of liberals within t chinese communist partyat's really the lasting tragedy of tiannmen because in the last three decades, we've seen moderate technocratic reformists, but we've not seen anybody within the chinese communist party championing political reform the way the leaders in 1980 did. >> orville schell, we just heard pei mention chinese nionalism. we have seen chinese attacks on muslims in weste b chinang thrown into what the chiese call reeducation camp. is that part of aegacy of what we saw in tiananmen? >> in a certain way, i think it there's kind of a deep suspiciousness of any ethnic group or organization or ligion that owes fealty to something other than the party. and in the case of the tibetans, in tibt they have a very clear sense of ethnic identity, and a clear sense, also, that they deserve greater autonomy, if not dependence. and so this is very saditious to the chinese communist party which has one claim still to fame. it's not marxism. it's notl revoution or class struggle. ep's the unity of china, to ke chin

our concern should focus on the chinese government and chinese communist party, not the chinese peopleor chinese civilization. that is why we condemn the cruel actions june 41989 and urge the communist party to make a full and public counting of those killed or missing and urge the government to respect human rights and freedoms to at least offer to overturn the counterproductive policies on terrorism prosecution cyberpolicy's. we are also reminded today there are chinese women and men to continue to speak out against the chinese government's oppressive policies and urge for reform that the human rights. these men and women know full well they are putting their lives on the line by speaking out this way, but they do so anyway because they refuse to give up on the addition of a greater future for themselves and for their country. in conclusion, we celebrate them and share a common cause with those who advocated for and continue to advocate for freedom and more just society. we hope the courage and persistence is not in pain. thank you and i yield back. stanek undulated to yield overtire

and so this is very saditious to the chinese communist party which has one claim still tofa .t marxism. it's not revolution or class struggle. it's the unity of china, to ke china unified. so this puts tremendous premium on keeping the centrifical forces, who do have tendencies who want to be omre autonomous, in line. >> minxin pei, orville scell, thank you very much to you both. >> thank you. is >> woodruff: i strike that made seal team six-- a covert special operations unit-- a household name. they stormed a compound in pakistan, killing osama bin laden in 2011. admiral william mcraven oversaw the mission. he now details his 37 years in the navy in a new book, "sea stories: my life in special operations." admiral, thank you very much for joining us. this book is about much more than the raid to kill bin laden it's about your growing up as a son of a career armyir corps officer, choosing to go into the seals, the training you went through, getting into all kinds of scrapes as a boy guarding saddam hussein. but i guess my first question is where did this physical courage come

to this day, the chinese communist party denies the tee and amend square massacre, and they were not there to speak up. let's commemorate the life lost in the tee and amend square massacre. freedom is not free. >> thank you very much. >> people are brave enough and individuals -- >> i am here to play a recording the recording is supervisor peskin's interview in regards to rose pak. >> the names are somebody who has been a gatekeeper in the chinese-american community for many years. she is well known in the press, and her name is rose pak, but it is not just about her, it is about the interests that she represents because rose pak has been able to work with people to get undue influence in gaining city contracts, in gaming -- gaining land use approvals to build new buildings in san francisco. it is really about political influence, and how political influence works. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. all right. supervisor peskin's aid, welcome >> hello, everyone. hello, commissioners. thank you for having me. i'm so glad that we -- that you al

that day, the party lost its legitimacy and it fundamentally changed the way the chinese people view the party. the reason it is doing that is because it is very afraid. the chinese communist party is doing everything they can to protect the security of the party, the security and ability of the party to govern. this is why they are persecuting and oppressing entire ethnic and religious populations like the uyghurs, tibetans, christians, and although there are some narratives that the chinese people have been successfully appeased by the party, we are seeing hundreds of incidents every day in china of resistance to what the party is doing. my question for you is, what resistance are we seeing from east turkestan, and what is the significance? that would be my question for nury. adrian, my question for you would be, can you talk about the significance of the change in narrative that you talked about, of the ccp in lying blatantly, about what is happening there and why they have done this, and how it is related to the ideology of the party. thanks. >> did you want to start? >> if you prefer that, i can start.

in china but in other places yes i think i think the the biggest lesson for both the cut chinese communist party and the chinese people is that. economic liberalization. it can take place to a certain extent without political liberalization but at some point the people want more and it will be if you are an autocrat you have to prepare for that moment because it could come very quickly and you could be in deep trouble very. within a moment's notice and you have to know how to react. i personally believe that. if the government had not been factionalized kind of experiencing a power struggle internally they might have cleared the square when there were still very relatively few protesters in there with tear gas and. less violent means perhaps not totally nonviolent and they might have gotten away with that but they missed that window and it was out of control indeed the rest is history for the moment bill unduly thanks so much for joining us from beijing good to have you with us. now the president of mexico has chosen a controversial strategy for tackling illegal drug use decriminalize them all i

tiananmen square massacre and the current repressive regime being led by president xi and the chinese communist party. in china today, there is official government repression of the freedom of speech, religion, movement, association, and assembly. we know at least one million and some estimate up to three million chinese muslims are forcibly inturned into detention camps, designed to erase their religious and ethic identity. this is something out of the 130's and 1940's -- 1930's and 1940's that the world said would never happen again. they have deployed high tech surveillance cameras throughout the country to monitor the general camp. the cameras and other forms of urveillance are intimidating many groups. in the tibet area, they have installed surveillance cameras in monasteries. tibetans face the monitoring and disruption of telephone and internet communications. this is absolutely just the beginning. with establishment of the system of social credits. the state department's 2018 report on human rights practices on china has a long, long list of human rights abuses by the chinese communist governm
