what we have is chinese state communist party propaganda and chinese direct intimidation within our country alternative voices to the point where i was just informed yesterday of the city councilmember, i won't name the city, but let's say it is in california, who was told, by an official of the chinese consulate, the if he met with a representative of the taiwan representative office, the chinese overseas community would mobilize their power to defeat this person in the next election. this is happening in the united states of america. not in some asian semi democracy or latin america or something like that. so we have a very serious problem. and, when you-and of course look at what they are doing to penetrate the universities of the united states, not just the confucius institutes, more than 150 of them in the united states, where the chinese communist party ministry of education is write in the curriculum and appointing the instructors to teach chinese language in the united states. something that i find inexplicable that we are letting happen in the united states of america. and that i t

if it comes to taiwan or the collapse of the communist party then i think they will go to war but in being in other scenarios you can imagine where the chinese communist parties legitimacy is threatened and it's been putting to a really tough spot where if it was that military action is its only way out so i think that's the kind of scenario that would potentially have escalation in book ations and very tragic consequences lawrence korb a similar question to you how far is the us prepared to go when it comes to support for taiwan given these red lines and markets have really been drawn in the sand with this white paper. oh well there's no doubt about the fact that the u.s. would call him to taiwan say if the chinese should be foolish enough to try and integrate it using military military force off the a sleigh nobody wants that because nobody's going to win if that if that happens similarly the united states and china have to be careful they don't have an accidental escalation when we're conducting patrols in the area they're trying to you know bill run why runways on these islands that they're that they're that they're claiming and i think

the chinese communist party appears to be interested. i have questions about why ch a china -- the chinese communist party is interested in a project that nonchinese commercial companies view as potentially not feasible. >> well, one thing i've read is that -- or been told. i know what i'm told, not what i know. is the chinese would be interested in building a terminal off the panama canal that they would ship gas to south america through that terminal. so, indeed, they would be purchasing it but they would be cannib cannibalizing a market that presumably u.s. companies already have access to. knowing that there is gas within south america, i don't know what they're doing in argentina, if that's only oil or if that's also gas, that could be a purchase that would offset the negative balance of trade we have with them or the -- but on the other hand, it would still, again, not be to our net ability. do any of you know of such a project or is that just urban myth that i was told? >> haven't heard of it. >> mr. tsafos? >> doesn't sound like s

unfortunately what i call the super hawks, who want to bring down the chinese communist party or confronthina every possible way, the super hawks are attacking the president for concessions an reversing himself. this is fake news. charles: michael, do you find it interesting a marco rubio and chuck schumer leveling the same sort of criticism? >> i read marco rubio's tweet. i have great respect for him. he said if such and such, then it would be a catastrophic mistake. so he is obviously open to clarification what actually has been done on huawei. obviously a total endorsement of huawei would be a catastrophic mistake. that isn't what the president has done at all. chuck schumer set himself up very cleverly i think, that he is tougher than trump rhetorically in words. keeps jabbing president trump, don't go soft in osaka. on march 2nd, he said you're betraying the working man. when chuck schumer was involved in this for the senate 20 years, never did anything, never passed legislation, never got talks going with the chinese. charles: media and trump, we know their relationships suggesting

essentially an arm of the state for that reason por legally or practically behold be to the chinese communist party. different aspects of the chinese law require those companies to provide whatever information the chinese government or the chinese communist party wants. essentially upon demand. and i think a lot of people the don't understand that fact virtually any company from china of of any size is required to have inside a chinese communist party cell or committee to ensure that the company dmeers to the chinese communist party policies.gi so when those folks are out trying to through legitimate means or illegitimate means steal intellectual property, that's what we are talking about is a counterintelligence threat. and we haveav in the last sever months had a whole variety of cases, hackers associated with the chinese m.s.s. who were engaged in an extensive campaign of intrusions against something like 45 different companies, 12 different states, lots of countries. we had an m.s.s. officer who has been charged in ohio trying to steal aviation secrets from companies there. different chinese m.

here really don't have a free hand i mean they're there essentially under the command of the chinese communist party in beijing and so the question is what will the chinese communist party can see there are ways of diffusing the tension i mean that could be which people have called for an independent inquiry into these events that lead up to the traditional there could be a simple promise that the extradition law will disappear at the moment the government just says it's been suspended and the protesters are talking about an amnesty for those who've been arrested during the protests that made to use the situation it would certainly go quite a long way to doing it your thoughts is a said quite clearly that none of those 3 demands are going to be met well there's a mixture of fear and anticipation the syria is there is after all a big garrison of the people's liberation army stationed there and they recently say an exercise just remind people in case for some reason they've forgotten that. secondly there is the possibility that you know those forces will be used to talk but the ozarks is will go. back

just the confucius institutes, where the chinese communist party ministry of writing the curriculum and appointing the instructors to teach chinese language in the united states, something that i find inexplicable we are letting happen in the united states of america and that i think we could end very simply by simply adding a new national defense foration act that provides federal government funding of chinese language instruction in the united states, which is an important national security objectives. , which was our instrument for fighting communists and terrorists in liberal and authority and propaganda around the world. that got merged into the state ofartment, into a new bureau public diplomacy, that has had on average about one undersecretary every 18 months, and it has never been effective. recently, fortunately, a bipartisan initiative, we have seen the creation -- and undersecretary pompeo -- a serious effort to stand up to wage this battle of ideas. it must have a digital counter narrative and counter messaging component. that is not enough. a lot of the ways people get news

not just the confucius institutes where the chinese communist party ministry of education is writing the curriculum and appointing the instructors to teach chinese language in the united states, something i find it inexplicable to let happen. simplye could and very by adding a new national defense education act that provides for federal government funding of chinese language instruction, which is an important national security objective. engaged, wehat we engaged in late 1990's in a bipartisan act of unilateral disarmament. jesse helms wanted to shrink the international affairs budget. the clinton administration was not ready to fight it and had a number of other priorities. it was basically give me your .eft arm or your right arm so the clinton administration surrendered and close down the agency which was our instrument forfighting congress -- fighting terrorist propaganda. that got merged into the state to a new bureau of public diplomacy that is had, on average, about one undersecretary every 18 months. and it has never been effective. recently, a bipartisan initiative, we have se

the chinese communist party purposely infiltrates america's universities and research laboratories withagents to try to steal national security secrets. not to say every chinese student who comes to america is an agent of the chinese communist party or liberation party but we should always error on the side of national security as opposed to benefices on behalf of foreign students. one way to handle that is to do thorough background checks for students who come here. another is to focus on the programs they want to study, chinese students at national laboratory or affiliated institutes, chinese students at major research universities studying advanced scientific and engineering programs at the department of defense. if chinese students want to come here and still you a great books of the western tradition so they can learn more about constitutional democracy and individual liberty i could support that. >> is there a broader issue, iranian students, not just chinese but the narrow security is there a broader issue that we are atrophying our own ability to grow our own expertise because t

we saw the foreign minister, joseph wu, tweet a message saying that it's clear that the chinese communist party's the government to sincerely address the concerns of the protesters and to positively respond to their demands. so this is where we are at in taiwan, and it is nota so this is where we are at in taiwan, and it is not a coincidence that taiwanese would care so much about the hong kong protest, because they feel that they are in a similar situation as hong kong people. china after a ll situation as hong kong people. china after all claims taiwan as a province to be reunified one day, and it has not given up use of force, of taking it back. so taiwan sees itself in a similar situation as hong kong and sees the benefits of the two sides supporting each other and working together to unite against ageing's pressures. now, taiwan next year will have elections. do you think the president, by continuing to resist baiting's pressure for political unification, will that help in the elections next year? well, definitely. we have already seen that her approval ratings have gone from very low to inc

yesterday we saw the foreign minister, joseph wu, tweet a message saying that it's clear the chinese communist party'svernment has repeatedly urged the hong kong government to sincerely address the concerns of the protesters and to positively respond to their demands. so this is where we're at in taiwan. and it's not a coincidence that the taiwanese people care so much about the hong kong protests, because they feel that they're in a similar situation as hong kong people. china, after all, claims taiwan as a province to be reunified one day, and it has not given up the use of force, of taking it back. so taiwan sees itself in a similar situation as hong kong, and sees the benefits of the two sides supporting each other and working together to unite against beijing's pressures. football, and the usa have booked their place in the final of the women's world cup. they beat england 2—1 in their semi—final in lyon. the americans side will now face either sweden or the netherlands, who play each other in the second semi—final on wednesday. the bbc‘s tim allman has more. it seemed strangely appropriate that

city government headquarters creating greatest challenge to rule of president xi and the chinese communist party ever. the tens of thousands of protesters, the half million demonstrators, taking on the communist regime on the very anniversary of the former british colony' colony's returno chinese rule. worsening demonstrations like you saw in hong continental, edward lawrence, live at the white house with a the very latest. reporter: this is president donald trump making history, unplanned. he walked into north korea after greeting the leader kim jong-un, white house sources say it stems from the tweet, it truly was unplanned, offering on meet north korean leader at the dmz . >> this is tremendous, they can say whatever they want about the president, the guy is trying to forge peace with north korea, if you don't like the fact he stepped over the border too bad. he is the president of the united states, he is a rules breaker, he trying to create peace, i don't understand what the issue could be with that. reporter: president making it clear he would like denuclearization of north korea, this is

the best way to describe what it is is it is the official office of the chinese communist party herehong kong. embassy thatike an is located in another city. that embassy becomes sovereign ground. located in the western part of hong kong. it is kind of a working-class, youdential district where don't see a lot of international businessman. you don't see those big financiers walking around in this area. over here, closely you can see where the office itself has been attacked by graffiti artists. that graffiti has been covered over in thick black plastic. on the other side of the office, there is an emblem of the chinese communist party that has been defaced. i am telling you all of this to give you a idea of why the government decided it needed to do spurs these protesters. the government said was these protesters were infringing on the sovereign rights of china. that was the key thing. if you can imagine an american inassy located somewhere asia which had been attacked by protesters, you would expect the government to come in and disperse these protesters and stop them from making an

the communist party, these kind of internal security controls i think are profoundly disturbing. >> as a former white house adviser, evan maduro spent years studying the communist party. >> the chinese using artificial intelligence, and in particular the rapid and substantial and impressive advances they've made in facial recognition, as a way to monitor people throughout china. >> the largest-scale case is what china is doing with its ethnic muslim population known as uighurs. chinese authorities have used facial recognition to more efficiently pick them out and have sent hundreds of thousands of them to re-education camps, calling it a war on terror. >> they've used a.i. to create more of a police state in china. and it's deeply disturbing from the perspective of human rights and universal rights. >> there's a reason the communist government in china is going to such lengths to watch and control its people. it doesn't want a repeat of history. 30 years ago, pro-democracy protesters took to tiananmen square in beijing to demand change. the army rolled in the tanks. killing an estimated 10,000 people. but ask many young chinese about it, and they've never heard of it. it's been scru

the chinese communist party with the help of the hong kong essay our government and successive chief executives they have really undermined this one country 2 systems formula and work towards a one system 11 country one system formula and as you can expect that you know people who've grown accustomed to the rule of law who cherish the civil liberties will not just simply roll over and accept this new reality and so this is why people are taking this and as this what we've seen today done irreparable damage now to the whole relationship between hong kong and mainland china and this one country 2 systems principle that you mention now i mean are we are we in uncharted territory. i think it's very difficult to judge the overall impact of today's events we have to bear in mind that as the report previously suggested that this popular uprising is fueled by 2 streams so to speak and more activist youth based wing who are engaging in civil disobedience and direct actions such as storming the parliamentary building today but of course there's also a shoot majority of mainstream society who h

it is unwilling to admit it still has links with the pla, the army of the chinese communist party.se of where trade tensions are and because of the opacity and the worrying nature of the pla, this is a bigger deal than say b.t. or verizon or other companies that have links to the military. we are in a time where the norms are shifting and it is difficult to know where things are going to land. taylor: sarah, you hear isaac say huawei is dishonest. that is what the trump administration has been pounding their head against the table for for the past year. the problem is the business community, the chipmakers, lobbyists do not necessarily agree with that. what is their reaction to comments from the trump administration and those we keep hearing that huawei is really tied to the government? sarah: we start even with this ban that the trump administration put on huawei that essentially cut off american suppliers to that company. first thing they were doing were hiring their lawyers, trying to find ways around this ban so they can still sell their products to huawei. it is a huge company

the chinese communist party was evidently which she criticized the 1989 massacre. the atrocities committed and her greatest agenda. this would remind the many people of chinatown who came here for better reassurance of rights. the pain and problems. it would be unpleasant. please hold your ground and the purpose of the board is to serve the public, not political power. thank you. >> next speaker please. >> . >> good afternoon, board of directors. i am professional teacher. as you have notified very vocal against the naming of the subway station after rose back. many of you do not know her that well. last week they told us she was surprised to tell us it as well supported at the federal level. it surprised me, too. in 1999 after the chinese party the u.s. congress condemned the persecution. in 20 2002 it was urging china o stop the persecution. in 2004 it was resolution 304 to condemn the extended persecution to the united states. in 2016, house again unanimously passed resolution 343 to express concern regarding the systematic state sanctioned organ harvesting in c

as early as 1999, immediately after the chinese communist party started persecuting hong kong, they passed a resolution. in 2004, congress passed resolution 304 to condemn china's treatment of hong kong to protest what people exactly like rose pak did. all congressional offices in pay area voted for these resolutions and they were even cosponsors. congressman nanny pelosi voiced her support. it is strange that san francisco treats hong kong has a group that needs to be avoided. i urge you to have an open mind and meet with them yourself to find out the truth about them. thank you. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. >> i would like to have that -- >> clerk: we'll come and pick that up from you. thank you. >> good evening, press and supervisors. my name is allen zheng, and i live in bernal heights. i'm here to answer an important question about naming the subway station after rose pak. after a meeting on june 4, was there a similar outcountry when the hospital was named after rose pak. supervisor peskin's assistant answered no three times without explanation. that alley was proposed

foreign language] >> voice of translator: when rose pack was alive, she served as an agent of chinese communist party, and extent of the persecution policy against them to san francisco. her reputation was very bad. how can you name the chinatown station the name of this person? i would like to ask all of you to rescind to your decision of the naming. thank you. [speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: good afternoon, board of supervisors. my name is carmen and i live in san francisco, district four. on behalf of the coalition against naming after rose pack, i'm here to straighten out a rumour that has been circulating in the city hall. [speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: some people have been spreading rumours to the board of supervisors and m.t.a. board that the people who are against naming chinatown subway station after rose pack do not live in san francisco. [speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: this is simply not true. many of us have lived in san francisco for many years. if you didn't initiate the resolution to name the subway station after rose pack,

seen 2 million people a few weeks ago in hong kong go to the streets rather than have the chinese communist party system and that kind of orwellian network take over hong kong, as well, so i do think there is some explaining that google needs to make. i have met with the google ceo, he said they are backing out of some of those partnerships, and they are willing to continue to work with the u.s. government, so i think mr. thiel's and mr. trump's statements are a little over-the-top, but i think it is incumbent on these companies to frankly go the extra mile to earn people's trust. the truth is these companies got so large, so quickly, i am not sure they fully understood the full ramifications of what they were dealing with, and, quite honestly, the regulators and us -- those of us in government have been slow to catch up, and instead, we have seen a foreign nation like russia come in and willy-nilly use youtube, facebook, twitter to massively intervene in our elections, and they continue to massively intervene in trying to pit one american against another, and generally, these companies have been

student that comes to america is an agent of the chinese communist party or the people's liberation army. we should not be naive about that threat. we should always err on the side of national security as opposed to in essence on behalf of foreign students. one way to handle that is to do more thorough background checks on the students that come here, another way is to focus on the kind of programs they want to study. chinese students at national laboratory or affiliated institutes, no. chinese students at major research universities putting in -- studying in advanced scientific and engineering programs that do major contract work for the department of defense or the intelligence community, no. if chinese students want to come here and study in the western tradition so they can learn more about constitutional democracy and individual liberty, i can support that. mark: but is there a broader issue? just chinese not students, but iranian students, but is there a broader issue that we are atrophying our own ability to grow our own expertise because there's on

their noses at helping the pentagon defend us, but at the same time they are helping the chinese communist partyeloped 24/7 high-tech surveillance technology, which basically puts every chinese citizen in a virtual prison. then they want to extend that prison overseas. lenin said the capitalists will sell us the rope that we used to hang them. these american high-tech companies are selling china the rope they are using to hang the chinese. make no mistake, after the chinese are hung, they will come for the rest of us. >> laura: i will just say this, the hollywood, the left and all their caterwauling about trump's doing this, this and that, everiism and if you can imagine, yet they have no compunction about working with a country that subjugates its people, puts them in prison camps, no religious liberty, no free speech, no political rights. and they don't bat an eye. i got to play this, this general making these comments about assisting chinese military, the u.s. companies. let's watch. >> we watch with great concern when industry partners work in china knowing there is that indirect benefit. th
