hong kong. as a threat to challenge china's sovereignty over hong kong and to china challenge the one country 2 system principal in hong kong let's bring adam me here in adam you've heard the justification for the law that for the security office what do you think . it was certainly i think. i think i think certainly there's an argument that every country has such a law however i think in this case it's slightly different you know. the professor refers to. how u.k. was not different but we have to remember that u.k. was a clone your power and the p.r.c. does not claim to be a clone your power instead claims to claims to be the right for sovereign of of home cause it's a very different position that the p.r.c. now occupies and what we think about one country 2 systems i think of the laws to take it also. i think over the last decade or so we have seeing it encroach from our beijing on that system and the changing definition i think it was always 'd in big us what one country 2 systems meant and increasingly beijing is pushing the goalposts and the latest national security law is an example of tha

is doing in hong kong is unacceptable they are taking away the rights of the people in hong kong china is not veering from its path as the highest organ of state power in china the national people's congress has to constitutional and the duty to enact national security legislation for the hong kong as they are. asked year protests have played hong kong to demonstrations initially started after hong kong's government introduced a bill that would have allowed the extradition of criminal suspects in fugitives to be low in china. within a week the government gave in to the protesters appeals and the bill was cost but the demonstrations continued with new demands put on the table after a year of unruliness massive protests and episodes of violence china has had enough during disparate groups advocating hong kong independence and self-determination incite a protest it's very often radicalized young people to desecrate and burn the national flag vandalized electional emblem and storm the central government's office in hong kong no central government could turn a blind eye to such straits to s

away hong kong from china overall i do believe they are belief is that cool since so much civil war unless so much violence in hong kong. eventually have a very very critical impact on the chinese economy and crew so encourage our legions of hong kong which are somewhat restless a bit less so what i am arguing a case is an absence and a london and a half who can cause it so much social disorder in hong kong this could instigate a domino effect in china and i believe that. the islamists secessionists comprise a place isis and our kind of inching sac are you know it's all in their hands with glee at what is happening the mother is in hong kong and liz also not forget isis all in exodus cos so not only of that the americans and turkey and saudi arabia has already sauces priscilla's face in your life all isis classes engine giant and i can say that ice on chinese diplomats who have told me that and it is quite well known in china. you know george the interesting thing is that all of this attention on hong kong at the end of the day if it gets negative returns because how can it actually its im

hong kong after itself. well, let us start. who wants to take us away with china, hong kong? ink that analysis that china is no longer modelling itself after hong kong, if it ever did, but the other way round, that it wants hong kong to look like mainland china, that that is a fair analysis from trump? well, i never want to agree with donald trump at all. and i don't want to agree with him now. but to move away from him and his curious analysis of world problems, there is something very interesting happening that the economic engine that was hong kong after the brits left, finally, after leaving it too late. and china was struggling to come out of its past and hanging on to communism but, you know, trying to catch up with the economic progress other nations were making. today, china, mainland china, the chinese system has proved, again for a smaller number of people than the entire population, has become a powerhouse. and if you go to anywhere in africa, lyse will know this, china is there. china is doing... ..just phenomenally well in terms of its economic development. so the

announced that it will impose visa restrictions on americans who have behaved egregiously on hong kong related issues. china is now a scared kid on the u.s. attempt of blocking the legislation of the security law for hong kong by imposing sanctions will never succeed in response to the wrong behaviors of the u.s. side china will take necessary countermeasures in order to defend its own national interest while many of the specifics of the new law are still unknown provisions a clue that it will supersede existing hong kong legislation and that china's top parliamentary committee will hold interpretation powers china's insisting that the move will not undermine hong kong's high level of autonomy while increasing national security a priority most nations share. all those countries which have pointed the finger is a china have their own national seekers he legislation in place we could think of no valid reason why china loom should be inhibited from acting national security legislation to protect every corner of his territory or office nationals. this coming on the eve of the 23rd anniversary of hong kong to re

china wants hong kong because the biggest the biggest beneficiary of hong kong is really china since the handover hong kong has become the the place center of chinese hot money so china prefers that they have hong kong in reach all. the mind the players in in china could not do it in china because it's not good for the domestic economy can do it in hong kong imagine it's like how gambling is illegal in any part of china then they are allowed out in the sense so. so it is the same thing in hong kong they want to be our cities because there is no replacement shanghai and not be enough but this is what i wanted to ask you how your financial center has china has china taken any steps to make mainland china look more attractive for international banks and in the bottle investors. remember that a few days ago they announced one of these special economic zones one of the 5 special economic zones they weren't there any of another how come that's not going to happen at least not in the foreseeable future not in my lifetime i'm probably not in the next 50 years for us any place in china it's un
