we put pressure on china to join us in holding the dprk accountable for the recent -- the test of icbms they have done over the course of the past few months. we have put pressure on china to work with us in areas where we do have commonality. to work with us on delivering humanitarian assistance. to work with us on climate change. that said, we continue to hold them accountable for their own human rights violations. we don't shy away from raising those concerns. we have made clear what we see happening is a crime against humanity. it is genocide. we have called it out for what it is and we are committed to -- the administration is committed to can consistent -- to consistently calling the chinese out on this issue. they clearly don't like that. they have made the unfortunate decision of aligning themselves with the russians on ukraine. i don't think it is a comfortable place for them, because they have indicated they do believe in the charter. they do believe in the sovereignty of nations. they do believe in the integrity of borders. if they believe in those three things, the charter,

i guess i don't think hong kong is going the way of the dprk, but you know, i suppose it's possible. i mean you don't have western media, really and xinjiang and and tibet. so i guess that could be a precedent but i think hong kong is gonna remain as a major city and as long as they keep giving visas, there's at least gonna be some limited presence. i have to say, i mean bill it's you know, when you know, if you don't build a long time and we first knew each other it was you know in and i lifting korea i went there in the 80s when it was still, you know, under military under military rule the idea that the new york times would have editorial people in seoul because they couldn't be in hong kong for one reason or another initially for visa reasons. it's just mind boggling to me that in the space of 30 years a place like south korea that's under military control becomes, you know a very open society and a place like hong kong that seems so open is a place where they throw children's storybook illustrators into jail without bail. that's pretty pretty mind-boggling. um patty princess the
