maryam: let's take a closer look at jiang zemin's legacy.nmen square massacre was a watershed moment in china's recent past. when jiang zemin took over, china had been ostracized internationally. under his leadership, china opened up to the world including through joining the wto. he presided over china's dramatic rise in growth, prosperity, and global influence to rival the united states. but equally, there was increased religious repression and corruption. so, how might his death now play out in the context of protests going on out? here is our asia-pacific editor. reporter: i think we could go into two ways here. my immediate reaction is that i thought that the chinese state media, chinese state would use jiang's death as a way to amplify control over the chinese people, flood state media with feel-good remembrances of comrade jiang zemin, and we are seeing that happening alady. state news sites are going into a mourning period. however, there is another side to this where you have a country that is angry and engaging in protests, really

you say you knew jiang zemin personally.t did he make to the changes to what has happened to the special administrative region since xi jinping took over, and how he left things after he departed as leader? victor: we know for sure that the late leader jiang zemin really contributed a great deal to the smooth transfer of sovereignty back to china in 1997. but it was the late leader jiang zemin who actually was present at the ceremony in 1997, and he was also the top chinese leader overseeing the transfer in 1999 for macau. so i would say jiang zemin really was such an important decision maker and participant in these very important historical events as far as china is concerned, or as far as world history is concerned. now, after 1997, one thing really happened. you know one country, two systems, but one country, two systems doesn't mean that china or the sovereign being beijing, should not actually care about things in hong kong. the systems to be separate and different. but as far as administration is concerned, i don't th

which began at the end of last month after a fire killed ten people in a sealed off building in schenn jiangwhich they could not reach. the protests rattled the young government. as of last week we saw restrictions ease in various cities. while china is going to downgrade the status which is on par with cholera and the bubonic plague. the one size fits all approach is no longer appropriate. a huge step in the right direction for the people of china. >> anna coren, thank you so much. >>> in germany police have arrested 25 people suspected of being far right extremists plotting to overthrow the government. the federal prosecutor's office says the arrests were made across the country. suspects thought to be members of the group who have a citizens movement. they're planning armed attacks. authorities say earlier today they're going and there are dozens of other suspects. >>> that does it here on "cnn newsroom." i'm bianca nobilo in london. "cnn this morning" is next. when we started selling my health products online our shipping process was painfully slow. then we found shipstation. now we're s

. >> steven jiang, thank you so much for that. >>> president biden and french president ee manu will macron presenting a unified front. the two leaders ukraine must be supported by the west, they do not see eye to eye on when to negotiate with russian president vladimir putin. >> i have no immediate plans to contact mr. putin. mr. putin is -- let me choose my words very carefully. i'm prepared top speak with mr. putin if there is an interest in him deciding to end the war. he hasn't done that yet. if that's the case in consultation with my french and nato friends, i'll be happy to sit down with putin to see what he has in mind. >> melissa bell has the latest from paris. what is the french president hoping to achieve with the visit to the u.s.? >> reporter: well, you mentioned, christine, the disagreements over how to negotiate with vladimir putin, when to do so and it's something that's divided them since it began with emmanuel macron taking a much more conversational presence. more profoundly, already there are questions of the covid reduction act and all of the consequences. this w

let's discuss this and more with molly jiang fast, hosted the fast politics podcast and michelle goodwinniversity of california irvine. it's good to have you both with us. molly, a start with you. your reaction generally of results of a georgia and what it says about the power of the once-coveted trump endorsement? >> we now see this is the fourth election that trump has grown up with the republicans. here's the thing, these republicans that want to break with trump, officially break with trump? until they do that, because they're scared of alienating the base, and until they do that, they are not going to have a choice, right? they are going to have to make that painful choice and say, we are not running trump, and that they will lose ten, 15% of the base not coming along. until they make that calculus, i am not sure what any of this will do for them. >> michelle, there's a campaign official that told the washington post that trump's quiet kickoff period was all part of the plan noting we are still two years out and there will be time to do advance, time to do rallies, and the real reas

chinese emergency personnel couldn't get to that building in the g jing jiang region becausef covid barrierse waives of unrest in the country. this came as people were seeing the world cup as well. the chinese were feverishly trying to cover up people's faces unprotected in the stands with no masks on. and now, of course, what i'm worried about is china is trying to figure out a way to placate its people. they are trying to put down that unrest and simultaneously getting very belligerent with taiwan in the hopes, i think, trying to shore up support inside the country for xi jinping. >> bret: olivia, we know in the new congress come up that there will be investigations into the origins of covid from house republicans as they take control. are there other investigations and do we think that the u.s. is over a tighter restrictions on the nationwide basis when it comes to covid? >> from what i gathered and i was asking a few republicans about this is right now it makes sense that there are some travel restrictions with china. at least some of the republicans i have talked to because they don't t

not just in the xi jinping era, but in the supposedly days of us-china relations under deng helping jiangre those leaders. zemin literally says to his comrades in this internal meeting, you know, clinton just told me the united wants to engage us, but don't be fooled by that. whether they call it an engagement strategy or containment strategy, what they want is to change us. they want our regime to change, to become a democracy, which means that we effectively lose our iron grip on power. we will never, ever let that happen. we're not going to do a stupid gorbachev move and up. look how that turned out. in 1989. you know the berlin wall falls because of gorbachev. we faced the tiananmen square and we rolled tanks into the streets. we're still here and we're on our way to become the dominant country. i think in their minds it was a natural experiment that justifies their ideology. and then accentuates the ideological aspect of this conflict. today. and i'm going to ask a slightly different of question, but i also want to get questions from you guys. so if anybody one please echo. we've got

second time, you know, after nothing had happened, the protesters were getting prepared to come back to jiang jo. and as they were about as they were coming out of the train station, you know, in china now everyone has a health code app right? that sort of tracks their exposure to the covid and and it kind of codes you red or green, depending on on your on your exposure and as they were as the protesters were coming out of a train station in zhengzhou and scanning way through the security gates, all of their health codes turned red. right. and a their security folks were there and ready to take them off to a quarantine center, basically prevent the protest from happening and the reaction to this was really fascinating. and to understand, i mean, you kind of have to back up a little bit, you know, that you know, in the first part of the pandemic, you know, people were quite you know, the pandemic resulted in this huge explosion of of surveillance in china. right. you know, sort of on a scale that previously people had only seen in in xinjiang where now because of the pandemic, everyone in chin
