because the communist party supports the bill.kong bell china sees it as a chinese bell. hong kong is an area that belongs to china so it says basically you can't have any acts of protest in government rule. all right. thank you very much. we can talk now to cloudier who is a journalist and hong kong legislative council member, who has been very close to what is happening today. we will continue to look at the live pictures from inside the legislative council building. thank you for joining us. give your us view of what has been happening today, some extraordinary events. those live pictures you are seeing are very shocking and unexpected. but then i also wish the world would understand the hong kong young people's bottled up the hong kong young people's bottled up anger the hong kong young people's bottled up angerand the hong kong young people's bottled up anger and resentment and the hostility in particular at the legislature, because it is a rather stamping body all these years. and the democrats are always outnumbered because

today being a big deal, the handover of the anniversary, it's also the 90th anniversary of the communist partyin china on the strength of the communist government. and basically, the idea that hong kong isa basically, the idea that hong kong is a part of china, and that won't change, and chinese strength is shown in that way. before we start playing some of the material we have from earlier and what happened with these protests, in terms of what happens next, our protesters planning to turn up with the sun up in an hourortwo, planning to turn up with the sun up in an hour or two, are there plans for more protests? hold on, we think she's talking in english. let's listen. let me just repeat very briefly what i have said in cantonese. on one july, the 22nd anniversary of the establishment of the hong kong administration, we have seen two entirely different public scenes. one isa entirely different public scenes. one is a regular march on one july. regardless of the number of participants in a march, it was peaceful and generally orderly. and this fully reflects the inclusiveness of hong kong's s

protests in both hong kong and macau the portuguese authorities effectively caved and gave the communist party a powerful role in control of macau many decades before formal before formally handing it back over so the communist party has been ensconced in macau for much longer its control is much deeper the threats and the coercion it can. apply to people in macau is much greater so like the mainland you know why do people not protest in the mainland because their turf i'd not quite the same in macau but there's no tradition of resistance there's no independent press there's no or there's a long kind of established history of control and what about the economic factors how important are economic factors in the unrest that we're seeing because hong kong is is rather in the jury is for extraordinary high rents for low whole no home ownership ever just this play any facts are told would you say james palmer. i think it plays some factor but not as much as some apologists for the mainland would you we've seen them saying all this all really about housing prices are really about this it's not peopl

in power so 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 o

states one person that i got to meet over time most recently she actually is the daughter of communist party leaders officials she went to the united states for an m.b.a. hoping to see a much more democratic place when president trump came into office 5 months later she became increasingly disillusioned actually went back to china do you think the relationship between the u.s. and china is going to improve. not anytime soon i think you have 2 very assertive nationalistic leaders even if president trump leads in 2020 used to have a lot of democrats who are have a very dim view of china and of course in the case of president xi he may be able to stay on for many many years further and we know his his policies are not likely to change anytime soon. and then one thing i'm also wondering then is if the policies aren't going to change what is the impact going to be on asia i think in asia difficult a lot of countries in a very difficult position china wants them to choose between the united states and china and so you see them call the middle i think roderigo to territory in the philippines is a g

the new vanguard of the chinese communist party brigade is a party official in a suit carrying a duffel bag of cash. what they are using is corruption and working with corrupt governments in particular to co-op those governments and ultimately once they are they are they create conditions of pendency, often under the rubric of one bill one road to change that to a corrosive relationship in which the country is used, as you alluded to, may be is a place from which to extract what china needs, but also to get this country to align with china's foreign policy as well. there is pushback against the significantly across the world now. the curtain has been pulled back. you have small countries like sri lanka and maldives who have changed governments because of the exposure of the corruption of their own government officials. it is happening in our hemisphere, and ecuador as well. alicia is an important case with one mbd but also related to chinese influence. there is a problem here but also opportunity in the context of competing effectively. the first step of which i think is to pull the cur

conelly thanks so much for coming on the show before we get to any pessimism as regards the communist party's view of 2 wars elections why do you think on like you countries voters a may reject the fascism some may call it of golden dawn to more i think the i think that we've been fighting with the whole of the people but specially the communist party to get these nazis out of our parliament and i think that the diminishing of the power a is something exclusively big greek now because throughout europe they neo nazis are climbing up only in greece they are going down and that's a very very happy event and i hope we are going to to see again in this national elections as you obviously know have been slapped in public. throughout the world everybody everyone has seen what nazis are especially against women certainly everyone around the world seems to be expecting a fight between a avowedly near liberal pro austerity party like new democracy or series which is implemented all separately policies and that's when your country has youth unemployment still of around 40 percent why is greece in this

wasn't the folks some phone dish and because this was a highly organized campaign well before the communist party had been alleged could see it was communist led many of the people running it or what was called the clade workers committee they were british socialist party some of whom went into the labor party but moved actually ended up in the in the in the communist party of great britain to be formed several years later willie gallacher becoming the m.p. mcmanus the only thing britain in scott to be entailed in the walls of the kremlin they were there they were industrial militants and had been deported from glasgow and some had been jailed judy in the war for industrial militancy so there was a clear threat it was perceived as bolshevik because there was great support for it and indeed i think we shouldn't underestimate the could send the authorities had because after all glasgow troops were confined to barracks locked in a media hell that would be the highlight and it was in july that was the glasgow regiment wasn't it and indeed was they weren't really one to be on the streets with the guns

encroaches and we will i think are waiting to see what the communist party response will really be indeed. in a as you as you explain are given details of china's tightening control of any kind of open discourse or dissent in mainland china and you know it under being it is getting tighter and even more oppressed oppressive so how long do you think china will tolerate this kind of dissent in hong kong. it's a tough question i think right now it remains in the hands of the authorities in hong kong and we have yet to see any overt moves by beijing of course kerry lammas is backed by by the party i mean the administrators are chosen by by those who are you know supported by beijing but thus far it appears to be primarily in the hands of the you know city itself and its authorities so i don't think we've seen this movie yet part of that i believe is because of the g. 20 in a much larger sort of global stage in which she jinping sits and there are many issues that he's trying to deal with but and now that that's past them and with the trade truce happening with with china the united

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 into attack mode which is what we're seeing some signs of in terms of very heavy policing very

isn't as to winning but if a player does want to win they need to strategize something china's communist party has done very well to survive and succeed in the late 1970 s. the party changed its strategy of isolation to modernization by opening up to the outside world. by embracing capitalist ideals of business and trade china became the factory of the world with the 2nd largest economy behind its current trade war enemy the united states but economically china is slowing down recording its lowest quarterly growth in 27 years and the world is watching what happens next the great wall of china was built primarily to keep invaders out the greatest fear of today's rule is the communist party is of domestic political instability which could lead to their overthrow that's why they know they need to continue to reform and develop the economy to ensure most people have jobs and an opportunity to improve their lives the theory being that as long as it's delivering those things it can run the country largely the way it wants continuing to restrict free speech and stamp out dissent a long the way. if th

slowdown in economic growth in nearly 3 decades when he has more on how this will affect the communist party's future policies. for thousands of years people in china have been gathering around tables trying to outsmart each other in the game of mahjong it's increasingly caught on around other parts of the world to a source of pride for experts in the game teach foreigners visiting the chinese capital beijing this game bring people together you know during this game it's not about a winning but if a player does want to win they need to strategize something china's communist party has done very well to survive and succeed in the late 1970 s. the party changed its strategy of isolation to modernization by opening up to the outside world. by embracing capitalist ideals of business and trade china became the factory of the world with the 2nd largest economy behind its current trade war enemy the united states but economically china is slowing down recording its lowest quarterly growth in 27 years and the world is watching what happens next the great wall of china was built primarily to keep invade

there's lot of the communist party.rength of the communist party. now protesters have entered the local parliament, footage like this would not be shown in beijing, that would be horrifying, the idea you could get into a parliament building. i noticed he would hong kong has been censored on social media platforms they are tightening people showing images like this. —— i noticed that the word hong kong has been restricted on a social media platforms. the last thing they would want is anything that makes president xi xinping look week. the raising of the british imperial flag, those are not images you would necessarily want to see if you are the chinese leader. absolutely. the idea anybody could get into parliament. this is unheard of. let alone vandalism, acts of graffiti. beijing would not show this. on a day it's stressing the importance of the communist party and hong kong being handed back over from the uk to china really ties into that dialogue. the emphasis hong kong is a part of china and there is a real strength,

how can you name san francisco's chinatown central subway station after a communist party's agent whose actions are harmful to american interests and values. at the federal level, more and more concern has been raised about the communist party using agents like her to inference -- influence our politics, and we are here today to help you so that you will not regret, in the future, and history will see that you did not turn a blind eye and look the other side when we tell you the true facts. thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors. my name is darren child and i would also like to express my concern in opposition regarding the resolution to name the chinatown subway station after rose pack. growing up in san francisco, for as long as i can remember, i always looked up to our great city and everything it represents. social freedom and cultural diversity. as a result, we are able to express ourselves regardless of race, gender, and/or beliefs. i bring this up because i believe that rose pack is not inaccurate or ethical representation of san francisco 's core val

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.s.s. officers and entire team of hackersor involved in a five-ye campaign of repeated intrusions. we had a chinese state-owned enterprise which p along with a couple ofcr individuals was tryg to steal trade secrets from a company in idaho. we had a guy in chicago, senator durbin, who was working with the mss to recruit employees of clear defense contractors. we had a guy in oklahoma who was stealing over $1.0 billion of confidentia

i think larry's comment is that our sidee the truth on is borne out by the chinese communist party's failure in any way to deal with not only the tiananmen square massacre, but any kind of movement toward democratic governance and rule of law within china. our colleague has a great essay in "foreign policy today" about that. we have to mobilize for history. what i would characterize as bigotry masquerading as cultural sensitivity among those who say, "the chinese are really deferential to that kind of hierarchical order, desert of a confucian thing that they can be preyed upon by their own government." of course, taiwan is an example to counter that as well. we have to compete in different ways from an ideological and economic. we do see opportunities. i think what you are going to see following what has been a concerted effort to call china out on unfair trade and economic practices, as well as a sustained campaign of espionage, in the form of december 20 of , the conventional wisdom is the united states is on its own now -- december 20 of last year, 16 nations have called out the c

. >> the chairman of huawei, the founder of the company, he is a member of the communist party. >> i think that is correct, yes. >> is correct. that means you have him as a chairman of the board and other communist party memos on the board.in other words if they say we want to have the military secrets of the us, you have to send them to them. >> again, the fact is, as principal deputy to the director of national intelligence said, we can test for that and had to test everybody because -- maria: the government tells me what this info you are sending it, there is no testing. let's face it, there's something called civil military fusion in china. in other words if you have any innovation much of it has to be tested by the military first. all efforts are going to the military because china was to overtake the u.s. as the superpower militarily. >> here's the key point for sophisticate nationstates can hack into anybody's equipment. that's all we had to have the highest standards to evaluate evans equipment to make sure the bad guys have not hacked in.that's how we make america safe. mari

yes indeed the sudanese communist party one of the largest opposition parties an ounce just under 2 hours ago that it is not going to be participating in the need was the nations that's something that the sudanese professionals association which has largely been leading the calls for the protests since december say that they completely understand and they're ok with it and they say it is not a fracture but at the moments of pain the protesters on the streets who say they're the ones who give the opposition legitimacy that there is a fracture and they demanding that they take the specifics and i that they're all want and need to stations together or they're all them to put it together and they have been calling for the opposition coalition to halt negotiations with the transitional military council and to an independent investigation committee set up not just for the food for the killings of. of protesters in a little bit on monday but also into the killings of protesters on june 3rd when it's just as were attacked in front of the army headquarters when the sit in was dispersed they're say

the chinese communist party appears to be interested. i have questions about why the chinese communist party is interested in a project that non-chinese commercial companies view as potentially not feasible. >> but one thing i've read or i've been told is that the chinese would be interested in building a terminal off the panama canal that they would ship gas to south america through that terminal. they would be cannibalsizing a market that presumably u.s. companies already have access to. knowing there is gas within south america, but that could be a purchase that would offset the negative balance of trade with them. but on the other hand it would still again not be to our ability. do you know of such a project or is that just urban myth that i was told? >> it doesn't sound like something that the chinese companies would do. >> i was told that by a government agency, but that is not to say it's not necessarily true, no offense to you. i'm also struck that one of the problems of selling more of our gas overseas with all the economic bene

multinationals are after some sort of security and stability and that imported taters or the communist party can give you can give you that. with its promise of workers' rights and a minimum wage the guatemalan revolution no longer made the country viable for united fringe. in 1951 democratic elections brought ha kobo out of bands to part. out of ben set about putting into practice the 1st promise of the revolution on land reform program which would redistribute the lands of the large scale owners to small farms. but at the top of the list of large earners with more than 2 thirds of the country's agricultural land was the united fruit company. president of pens issued a decree to confiscate hundreds of thousands of hectares of land kept in reserve by the company. the indemnities were based on the company's low tax declarations which never revealed its real profits. never before had united fruit been challenged in this way. as a young man samuels a murray had overturned a troublesome government this time with no mercenaries at hand he once again turned to his p.r. genius edward bernays and to

i think there is a significant probability that the chinese political system and the communist party will implode in about 15 years. china faces a fundamental problem. the resolve in a fundamentally bad way. the problem they face is that in order for the party to survive in the mid to late 70s, they need a new economic model. this is creating an interesting tension. you have a lot of wealthy people. is actually in the northwest of the country. they are not demonstrating. they want to participate. how did they get to participate in the reform? the chinese government if they want them to be part of the economic miracle, they need to shift money to them. by taxing more heavily. to become wealthier. the government is in the world. the solution is political survival. that will put themselves ahead of the economy. 15 or so years. the longer-term effects. with regards to people who believe that the chinese have a better economic model. i like to make a very simple observation. it is the second largest economy in the world today. what is the second largest economy since 1819. it was china. wh

andrius ross depreciates this former east german communist party members informers were not treated with leniency after the fall of the wall. but he thinks other big mistakes were made to this day many east germans feel they are not treated equally and he says it was recognized too late that eastern germany has a problem with right wing extremism and xenophobia. else he is the use of this for at 1st we chanted we are the people and. we are one people ok which is still acceptable but when this change into the belief that foreigners should leave germany something definitely went wrong. ok. liberal in wall came down 30 years ago but to this day the country still isn't truly united that will take more than one generation. and we go to croatia now well 4 of these are being accused of turning a blind eye to so-called push backs of migrants and asylum seekers trying to get into the country from neighboring bosnia and there's growing evidence that people who do manage to cross the border at places like velika credit a simply being dumped back in bosnia often violently all of which is illegal for

the communist party is. iran is not our enemy. the ayatollahs are. russia and north korea are not our enemies. the putin and kim jong un regimes are. to better understand these threats in a strategic and, as i have said many times, non-violent manner, domestically what we need to do is look in the mirror. what we need to do is deal with the abuse of anonymous shell company formation in the united states, number one. second, i would say give the financial crimes enforcement network a clearer mission. what are they doing in the world? who are the enemies? what are they trying to do? third, we need to deal with money laundering in a better more systematic way in real estate. that's outlined in the report. fourth, clearly evaluate how the global network of foreign trade sfwloens around the world work. there are some 3,500, 4,000 zones around the world that we don't know much about how they work. they don't have a singular devin f kevin anything for them in ounds understanding how that works with trade fraud and issues related to this. fifth, i would say

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

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

but if a player does want to win they need to strategize something china's communist party has done very well to survive and succeed in the late 1970 s. the party changed its strategy of isolation to modernization by opening up to the outside world by embracing capitalist ideals of business and trade china became the factory of the world with the 2nd largest economy behind its current trade war enemy the united states but economically china is slowing down recording its lowest quarterly growth in 27 years and the world is watching what happens next the great wall of china was built primarily to keep invaders out the greatest fear of today's rulers the communist party is of domestic political instability which could lead to their overthrow that's why they know they need to continue to reform and develop the economy to ensure most people have jobs and an opportunity to improve their lives the theory being that as long as it's delivering those things it can run the country largely the way it wants continuing to restrict free speech and stamp out disinter long the way. if the economy becomes

think the i think that we've been fighting with the whole of greek people but especially the communist party to get these nazis out of our parliament and i think that the diminishing of the power is something exclusively big greek now because throughout europe the neo nazis are climbing up only in greece they are going down and that's a very very happy event and they hope we are going to to see again in this national elections as you obviously know have been slapped in public throughout the world everybody everyone has seen what nazis are especially against women certainly everyone around the world seems to be expecting a fight between a avowedly new liberal pro austerity party like new democracy or series which is implemented or spirity policies and that's when your country has youth unemployment still of around 40 percent why is greece in this situation i think that the choices that to a so-called governing parties and there were so again new democracy now it's new democracy and cities are they are the part is the. choose to be with the european union inside the eurozone and that inside th
