ivan watson has that part of the story from hong kong. >> reporter: hong kong protests, indoctrination camps in china, the u.s.-china trade war, all flashpoints in the tense u.s.-china relationship. >> i appreciate your joining me. >> reporter: all areas where a former trump insider says the public message doesn't match his private statements. beijing is bristling, condemning a new law signed wednesday by trump. the weager human rights action shows the mass incarceration of muslims in china's shinnen movement. they survived modern day concentration camps. others say loved ones disappeared into the sprawling prison system. in his yet to be published book obtained by cnn, former national security advisor john bolton alleges chinese president xi jinping, quote, explained to president trump why he was basically building concentration camps in june of 2019. bolton writes trump said xi should go ahead with building the camps adding that it was exactly the right thing to do. beijing routinely defends its network of so-called re-education camps, arguing they're necessary to combat violent extr

cnn's ivan watson is live in hong kong with the breaking details. h an important moment for hong kong. >> reporter: it sure is, because according to international treaties, hong kong is supposed to remain somewhat autonomous from the rest of mainland china until the year 2047. and so, critics, governments around the world are criticizing this as a power move by the chinese central government, writing in this law secretly for the city of 7.5 million people. and what's truly bizarre about it is nobody here really knows what the law specifically says, even though it has been signed into action by the leader xi jinping, according to chinese state media. now, chinese officials say it's aimed at criminalizing things like subversion, sedition, colluding with foreign powers. what's strange is that the chinese government bypassed the city government here in hong kong to draft this legislation. so, i interviewed top officials here who really don't know what specifically is going to go into this law. now, it's had a very chilling effect already. you've had a nu

and ivan watson is joining us live from hong kong right now.w controversial is the president's comments claiming tariffs are worse than sanctions? >> frankly, it depends who you ask. tariffs essentially are taxes on imto ports and the president has really favored them because of the fact that he thinks it gives him leverage in his economic negotiations, his trade negotiations. so he has used that quite diligently with the chinese. but they have larger ramifications. tariffs can come on and off with the president ordering of that. but with sanctions, it's a political process that's very tedious and it impacts companies and individuals and so for the president, yes, he believes that tariffs are worse because economically, you get an immediate impact. but sanctions tend to have a much bigger political implication. a lot of times when you're unhappy with a country and especially in the case of china where they were unfair trade practices, but human rights violations and various other issues, sanctions tend to be the way to to go. the president has
