now, over the past 2 years, bay ging has intensified the stamping out of political descent in hong kong through new laws drawn up in the name of security, the jailing of critics and the reigning in of the news media. in the 2nd half of this program, we speak to 3 hong congress whose work and lives have been severely affected by the cities, loss of autonomy. but 1st, joanna, who's on how hong kong got here from a city of liberty's to one that's under a songs the in the hong kong always enjoyed the most open, liberal press in the region. well, what we're seeing over the last year or 2 has been more like a death by a 1000 cuts on young. why you got hydro targeting all organ, why? joy target would love to? we all know even the most optimistic jo. this find it difficult to have reason for optimism about journalists may have to pay a price for the editors to seek the truth. come a place on known for its openness and civil liberties. now, a place of political persecution and a corrected free speech. a city that in the last few years alone has seen more than 10000 protesters arrested and dozens

so i'm one of the circle, hong kong activist. wanted hong kong national law. i was also one of the 10000 arrestees of the hong kong pro democracy movement. going to have you. and i welcome back to the st reminder audience you are and what you do. i'm an american national . i live in sharing an independent commentator. i'm on over 24 channels in china and international for any given month by month. 12 channels, year 24. so guess i'm going to start with how much do you think hong kong has changed in the last 12 months with the national security law being now in place? this is what we offer our online community, and here is one response. i would love to see thin and katrina and i know if you agree as take a look since the implementation of the national security law is chilling, facts obscene into people's everyday life. so for instance, many put mark would be patient to spend the common and politicians being present. i've gone into exile further in educational spaces, textbooks, and public library books of the democracy and sensor to pull off the shelf. and journ

you end up in hong kong. you just can't talk genuinely about your thoughts choice, the beijing government, what the status phone call of human rights activist. not only themselves being intimidated orchard their loved ones, including the wife to not be intimidated valence or even also child. so for me, when i realized that i would be leaving hong kong issue, a complex statement about differing my ties with my families. so i think i did a very difficult choice, but that choice was for the safety and well being of my family of all allow me to say that mr. nathan lau in front of you is most appro democracy activist is a fugitive from the law of hong kong that beijing government has always been trying to mammy troublemaker fall in fact, her or anything that they could hundreds my reputation of course talking you individually, but they are also trying to describe the whole movement, who's even in london, i still do, rather the cautious about my safety. we all understand how extensive china's reach could be thought

, hong kong or r t h k. she's become a target for her reporting. on footage last year, she was arrested for her investigation into white police didn't intervene in a violent move attack on pro democracy protest. her new 2019. she was attacked by a group of men. we reckon 6, she looked through publicly available vehicle registration databases to track down the attacker, the practice that the prosecution seized on alleging that by failing to declare that her search was returned the listing purposes. joy knowingly made a false statement. she was to find nearly 800 us dollars and co bogus l i l d e get autopay. she lives on top top. we don't get yelled in either high things about the war and i might see her hotel on the hiking and they all called a hard edge on both of them and they just started her height and gay colgate, someone's yelled, it's no longer just a shame that coming for hong kong media, the city chief executive carry land and will many of called her pro china rubber stamp. governments are cracking

since 960, the hong kong has been called ernie by the ccp. the deter, any kind of them were quite a reforms to deter any kinds of saudi termination. right. and even before 997 had over hong congress have no say in the hand over issue. so. so actually that's why in 2014 there was the loss of scale umbrella movement. we tried to fight for your new social suffrage war, which was guaranteed under basic law, which was trying to find the ccp themselves. look when you can repeat these things, but there doesn't make them true. ok, there was no guarantee you or versus suffrage. it's not independent. if you're mad at the hand over talk to the british. they were the ones who to go shaded on your behalf. so, you know, they're not a study serious suggested, i mean, if i'm not serious, wait a 2nd. i want to challenge you and that how is that? i'm going to challenge you like my religion in the show. there's not a thing. it's not a serious point to make off the british because we're past that now we're way past last katrina. let me do your pass. you're always

those 2019 protests were the biggest in hong kong history. more than 2000000 people, about a quarter of the population took to the streets risking arrest for 10 consecutive months. the police tried hard to quell the protest. at times, withdrew to force the bay. jing seized on the year long unrest to introduce legislation. a strict new national security law, designed to curb dissent in hong kong once and for implemented in june 2020 the law outlaw, succession subversion, and collusion with foreign forces. eagerly to find offences that carried maximum sentences of life imprisonment. the new law has proven effective at silence and critics. so for $54.00 people have been charged including jimmy ly, the owner of the apple daily newspaper. the paper has been repeatedly targeted by the authorities. the final stroke came on june 17th, when its officers were rated. the editor in chief was arrested, and the company's assets are frozen. within a week of that rate, apple daily published its last and final edition. all right, so i mean, i think they told

it's hong kong strategy. the beginning, perhaps from 20 or 3 when there's mark change or tactic of a change was towards hong kong, more control, more innovations and more presence in the way we've gotten to media, not in meal to those strange of strategy. so beginning from that, we've seen the media and dumble direct and indirect pressure because we got that pilot. see, we have to hung on stop fun and i will enjoy all home from people in current one. sometimes i think they told topic on what you go home again, and i tell my certainly with my mike in the or the me, me being china's tougher approach to hong kong was solidified in 2012. when cj in ping was appointed general secretary of the communist party in 2014 c, radically changed the election process for the cities. my senior political representative, the chief executive jungle june, figured out what if i bought your gun term that? sure, sure. so we shut down the push to enable sure, sure, don't go and they don't change. infuriated hong kong and for $79.00

prominent hong kong journalists. this is a story that we covered last month which had a huge response from our viewers. you will remember the pictures from that coverage, these are pictures of the final night that hong kong had one last independent pro-democracy newspaper. the newspapers called apple daily. they have their offices raided by hundreds of hong kong police officers. police officers took their computers and their hard drives, and the documents they had, the newspaper had their assets frozen so they could no longer pay for operations or their employees. and after all of that, as their executives and journalists were getting arrested one by one, they shut themselves down. as the staff of apple daily prepared the last edition of that newspaper, last month, hong kong residents gathered outside in the rain, they turned on the flashlights on their cellphones, the journalists inside the offices would see that they were out there, they would know that they were there for support. the journalists turned on the lig

rights of the people of hong kong from the hong kong sar government.reedom of press. it is actually sedition. and i don't think any country will allow its newspaper to call on another foreign country to sending troops to hong kong to remove the hong kong sar government, to overthrow the hong kong sar government, and to drive the prc central government away from hong kong, which is part of hong kong, part of china. so i would say, let's call a spade a spade. there are political forces in hong kong which, for many years, denied that hong kong is part of china. they want to return hong kong back to the british, which is impossible. they want to return hong kong to the americans. they wave american flags in the streets of hong kong. they try to raise the tensions between china and the united states, and there are forces in the united states which fuel these frenzies, so... all right, victor gao. .. ..let�*s call a spade a spade. ..we're almost out of time. you've lived through many different eras in your life in china. do you really believe that the chines

you can review hong kong's status.terms of financial transactions than mainland china that was carved out. the key thing i say in my book is we have to acknowledge as americans we have not prioritized human rights in our relationship with china. we prioritized profit and open market for the last 30 years. the chinese party has taken that signal. when i say "we," i don't just mean the u.s. government. i mean u.s. companies that have swallowed some pretty difficult things in order to be in the chinese market. i mean the u.s. entertainment industry. you had john cena apologizing to the chinese government to keep himself on the movie screens there because he said something about taiwan. we have to decide as americans whether our top priority in our relationship with china across the born, informing our dip ploem assie, our economic policy, will be our values. if we are honest, we have gone to the mat with china about how many soybeans they buy from the united states more than on issues like you reported on tonight. >> ben,

it's grip on hong kong. post the pandemic economy, and it's things are starting to open up around businesses around the world, especially in hong kong. now that is something that it bothers me as an american, that the only one person that we saw really sounding the alarm about this was, was president trump course, you know, last year the chinese now keep this in mind. the chinese passed a law in hong kong, the nfl, the national security law, which basically said if you protest, if we think you're causing trouble, you can be arrested and the maximum penalty is life in prison. and i've seen a massive, massive change since that laws been in place of companies move in to, to other companies, countries around asia like singapore, singapore, as i work with a lot of people and singapore, now that i used to work with in hong kong, thailand, the philippines, vietnam and it is made a big impact. it basically took a lot of it basically basically a punch in the face of the british when they handed over hong kong. and it

it gives everyone that comes in hong kong. you don't have to have a visa to go into hong kong. it gives you the sense that you're doing business in europe or us. it's a global magnet, but the chinese it really close to, to stepping on their, their own cash cow by doing this. because if they start cracking down, enforcing american companies and other companies from other countries to abide by the chinese while the way they do in beijing or shanghai, then you're going to see you're going to see a lot of problems with companies coming there. it's going to get a reputation as basically china light, which would turn into china. and that's, that's not what you want to see. and hong kong, roger, we've always seen what's happened when they put more restrictions on business here in the u. s. imagine the same thing can happen abroad as well. thanks so much for joining us and best wishes to you and your company. returning to the news of the visit between president biden and chancellor andrew angle, mark merkel, they were joined by fair friends who is just getting back in the white house.

i think hong kong authorities will be careful, not to disrupt hong kong's role as a financial center.n area that is i think fairly new for firms. and given the sweeping nature of some of these chinese laws, you know, it is certainly a possibility. nick: we talked to a hong kong resident recently, and activist, who moved to europe. after the national security law was imposed, she did not feel safe in hong kong. let's listen to what she said. [clip] >> one of the most visible changes i see is self-centering themselves. people afraid to talk about things. under the law the freedom of the press is no longer existing. the freedom of speech, peaceful assemblies, these are gone. nick: do businesses share those concerns? >> they do. the canary in the coal mine are sectors most sensitive to the information environment. that is chnology companies and media companies. several of those firms have already announced they are leaving hong kong. something like financial services, is a more nuanced area. they are less directly exposed. so they are worried about it, but it is not yet the kind of factor

hong kong.t is the purpose. it is this purely messaging to the chinese government that if they start cracking down on data and u.s. ipos of chinese companies that the u.s. will retaliate with these types of measures? annmarie: part of it is messaging, after we saw what happened with bb which many u.s. investors were a part of given that ipo in new york. part of it is that they want to map out the framework that there has been a change in hong kong and we have seen that since last year with the national security threat law, what is happening in terms of press freedoms in hong kong with the apple daily edition. there are a number of things that have been stacking up. as you say, it really is just another layer of the tit-for-tat between beijing and washington and while many were expecting a softer tone from this administration on beijing, it is not happening. they have kept those guardrails in place from the trump administration and they are going harder. lisa: the biden administration has the bac

laws in hong kong. i think the reality is likely to be a built nuanced here because i think hong kong authorities are going to be careful not to disrupt hong kong's role as a financial center. but it is an area that is i think fairly new for firms, and just given the sweeping nature of some of these chinese laws, you know, it's certainly a possibility. >> reporter: we recently talked to a hong kong resident and activist glacier kong who moved to europe because after the imposed she didn't feel safe in hong kong. let's take a listen to what she said. >> i think one of the most visible changes i see, people self-censoring themselves. like, people are afraid to talk about things, like, because under the law, a lot of things are not allowed. in hong kong, the freedom of the press is no longer existing. the freedom of speech, the freedom of expression, the freedom of peaceful assembly. these are all gone. >> do businesses their those concns? >> they do so the quan airy in the coal mine here are the sectors t

adrian brown joins me now live from hong kong. adrian, tell us a little bit more about this alleged plot. well the police address the media several hours ago saying they had floated, what they believe was a campaign to carry out a series of bombings in hong kong. the targets including the cross hob, a tunnel as well as course. what makes it so shocking though kim is that some of those arrested are just 15 years old. 6 teenagers, 15 years old, as well as a secondary school teacher. now the police say that during that raid, they seized a number of bum making chemicals. they've also frozen the assets of the group that amounts to about $70000.00 us dollars. now they didn't go into a great deal of information in detail about how they found out about this group. but it's quite clear they be monitoring this group for a number of weeks, if not months. they say that the school children were recruited because it's believed they and their families, what you to leave hong kong in the next few months. now why this is important is that just a f

so they're now threatening to quit hong kong, the hong kong government, which part is saying it will meet the tech companies to hear out their concerns. but of course, it will be very hard to hong kong to remain a global financial center. if google, facebook and twitter, we're not operating here. and we also have to remember that twitter, facebook and google are not available on the mainland. this is the only place where they can operate. so they perhaps go want to risk shutting the door on china entirely. so this could possibly be just a bit of bravado. ok, thank you for that update the adrian brown live for us in hong kong. still come here and there are the long legs covered. 19 vaccines in venezuela where us back scheme is accused of failing to get the job. the job vaccine refused or could be costly for some returning to offices in the us. ah hello. we got plenty of hot sunshine, it's a ne, in part sophia, please guys hear the big area of high pressure that he extending right up into the arctic circle courtesy of this area of high pressure. so little wet further south. so some nas
