president xi jinping are delivering live there from beijing. delivering a live there from beijing. president xi jinping are delivering a speech to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china, standing in the same spot where on the first of october 1919, chairman mao ushered in the new commonest rule, declaring that the chinese people had stood up. a corresponded are in beijing, what m essa 9 es corresponded are in beijing, what messages are you picking up from that? let's look first at your comment about xi jinping, what he was wearing, the only person among the senior leadership on the stage they are wearing that attire very similarto they are wearing that attire very similar to what chairman mao always appeared in, standing in exactly the same place, by chairman mao announced the formation of the people's republic in 1919. he didn't have to be hugely observant — but you didn't have to be hugely observant did you to notice that xi jinping, a man whojust two observant did you to notice that xi jinping, a man who

so that gave xi jinping some leverage. most importantly i certainly spent a lot of time in my article talk about also the contradictory move on one hand xi jinping is a populist. poverty elimination not poverty reduction. post-elimination is a promise. which continue statement statemented with previous presidents. but xi jinping is lucky enough to announce that the by next year china uncle eliminate it. he also used the more policy kind of mechanism to dpemt use the new term position poverty elimination to announce hopefully the next year he can announce -- this makes him popular among the poor people but now he reach the middle class in the major cities. shanghai, beijing and gaungening. bay area and the z so three or four years almost none of the leaders top leaders party secretary and governor or mayors xi jinpings protege. but now majority of them are xi jinping protege. they are well positioned to carry out the delivery. on this trade front. now, as regard shinning jang. we are very much interested in hong kong. these

while some 2000 kilometers away the chinese president xi jinping watched national day parades. protesters in the territory spent the day on the street calling for more democratic rights for the 17th week in a row. was. this moment marks a violent escalation in the clashes between demonstrators and the hong kong police . was. and off the ship shoots an 18 year old student in the chest at close range with a life bullet authorities say the officer fired to save his and his colleagues life as they were being attacked. the 18 year old male was sent to hospital when he was sent to hospital he is still conscious at the moment i believe the doctors. conducting examination curing him cure him at the moment at this moment he was arrested for assaulting police officer we will conduct further inquiries and then once after the inquiries we will decide whether we will press charges or not. over 1500 people have been arrested since june that's when the pro-democracy activists demanded the government withdraw or a controversial extradition bell eventually the hong kong authorities did cancel t

while some 2000 kilometers away the chinese president xi jinping watched national day parades. protesters in the territory spent the day on the street calling for more democratic rights for the 17th week in a row for the 1st time the police fired live bullets at demonstrators one student is in hospital in critical condition. such up authorities used tear gas and water cannons to push back the anti-government protesters the police chief called it the most violent and chaotic day for hong kong. well they don't really have why we strongly condemn these actions. we have learned that 25 police officers were injured. and we have arrested more than 180 people who were suspected of being involved in rioting illegal gatherings persisting weapons and attacking police nearly 2000 people have been arrested since june. that's when the pro-democracy activists demanded the government withdraw or a controversial extradition bell eventually the hong kong authorities did cancel the bill but the protests continued and activists want an investigation into police violence free from government influ

the reason is that xi jinping has politics of his own. we saw this in april and may when they rejected a deal with us, and they had actually made the concessions across the board, that they had agreed to, and, you know, they eventually ended up not doing that. the reason is, xi jinping could not get agreement from the other stake holders in the communist party, especially the leaders of the state enterprises. there's a lot of politics in our country, and we focus in on that, but the politics in china are much more intense, and we saw that with this that just ended a few hours ago. it is possible they walk away from a deal even though it is not in their interest to do that >> gordon, you listen to pompeo, it sounds as if the president's perspective here is to somehow try to make china a communist country not communist. is that the purpose of trade war? david: not a bad goal. >> it was about the trade deficit. then it was about american jobs. the president keeps making excuses, keeps moving the goal posts. think he doesn't want a trade deal

as we heard there in president xi jinping speech reassurance us that he would uphold the one country 2 systems have said seem to appease the protesters at all. no well as you mentioned there are a number of really cross coming home to die there are sick in various districts already one of the big. banks to be the biggest much of it. by the human rights fund that's the organization that's attracted a massive numbers of people one team in various weekends of the last month that are conducted a mile from where we are now whose wife right into central at this particular rally where we are it wasn't given permission permission by the police to go ahead but despite that these people are turning up anyway and this is a recurring theme we have seen here on sunday on sunday the police the right place made you know and that's where the confrontations kicked off early today we have seen. we have placed here now. so i believe. in the n.p.r. station the numbers are growing maybe but how you know for this much will start i'm moving to central and as you mentioned the police have warned this not to

there is a lot of continuity under xi jinping in the legal area, primarily when xi jinping came in, one of his very first priorities was to elevate what he calls rule of law -- socialist rule of law with chinese characteristics and the country in accordance with law or law-based governance. he elevated the legal project to a higher position. he devoted a whole plen up to it as well. what we've seen under xi is a continuation of the push to modernize the legal system that would deliver rules-based solutions in the majority of cases to both promote economic development and maintain social stability. on the other hand, what is new, and what i see as sort of a shift under xi jinping is an effort to then also legalize the status of the party. so the party is not registered under law. some people argue it always has had constitutional basis because the party's mentioned in the preamble of the state constitution, which discusses the history of the prc, et cetera. but for most of the prc history, the party has not been mentioned specifically in the main body of the constitution, and this is one

our correspondent scott hytner is live for us in hong kong scott as we heard there president xi jinping reassuring as that he would up hold the one country 2 systems is going to appease the protesters in any way in hong kong. no appeasement i can assure you that right now we do know as you mentioned there are some plans for events today but it's going to be difficult for the protesters to do that as you had mentioned you know a lot of the m.t.r. train stations are closed around the areas where some of the protest vents were to take place a levon n.p.r. stations in total we're also hearing the main tunnels coming into hong kong island there are checkpoints at the beginning of those tunnels and so police are looking into the vehicles into the buses this is something they've done in the past particular when it came to protests that were supposed to happen at the airport that was one of the ways that the police were able to kind of clamp down on the numbers though we haven't really seen anything in big form right now there are small protests near here this is where the flag raising ceremony

china's president xi jinping is making a speech let's have a listen to what he say we sincerely center best wishes to the people's republic of china. on behalf of the c c p c national people's congress state council of the p.r.c. . the national committee of the chinese people's political consultant of congress and the central military commission. to give our best regards for the people who have worked hard and the fought hard for the independence for the it depends on the china and of also for those who died protecting our country. understand our our best regards to all as misty of chinese people and people who love china all over the world to send our best celebrations and also i want to send my regards to friends in every country who supported and who cares about chinese china's development and we thank them for that today 70 years ago comrade moussa do. announced to the world. solemnly the founding of the people's republic of china and the chinese people. has stood up. to this great crew to see that great event changed the situation in the past 100 years where china and chinese peop

president xi jinping is regarded as the most powerful leader since mile and the most powerful figure in the socialist one party apparatus perhaps that was the reason for the somewhat subdued appearance of some of the central committee members alongside him. i. to celebrate she was accompanied by a flawless performance by the people's liberation army soldiers tanks and state of the art military hardware including the intercontinental dongfang 41 missiles they served as a message not just to the chinese people but to the rest of the world the chinese military is a force to be reckoned with. but a contrasting picture was playing out in the chinese territory of hong kong a peaceful protests again ended in violence between demonstrators and police for the 1st time police fired live ammunition at a protester it's been 5 months since the protests began bringing together tens of thousands of hong kong are calling for democracy and freedom they want the territory to retain its special status and to rule without interference from beijing. i think that basically all protests that is all right s

under xi jinping. xi jinping has announced his goal is the chinese stream. and the chinese stream in my view is a really a communist party of china. this is where china is seeking to take its rightful place as the sole superpower in the world. so, it's not just that they are spreading their own power and the communist system and their predatory lending practices, but, it also means that in order for them to achieve that, they have to go after the united states. they had to weaken their main enemy. and there we see the unfettered policies of china to send the opioid defense knowledge to the united states to exasperate the op of crisis. >> is a nature that they have strived rather successfully they have done that through the votes which basically says he is leader for life, he also has done that even in articulating the power of the communist party. he talks about the revitalization of the communist party. you see here made to any capacities be vulnerable? >> he has consolidated powers since 2012 through

we are learning there was a call between president trump and jinping back in july. during that call, president trump did bring up joe biden. he also brought up elizabeth warren and brought them up in the political prospect. he wasn't encouraging them to investigate. he was talking about political rivals. joe biden and elizabeth warren being two of them. it's significant just today president trump went further and publicly suggested that china investigate joe biden. this shows that joe biden was always on his mind when it comes to china. and he did bring it up in a phone call with xi jinping this summer. >> the chinese call was in june. the ukrainian call was in july. the ukrainian call was later, but we found out about that one first. the one with the chinese president in june. we're just finding out about that. the president suggested china start an investigation today. let's listen to this. >> by the way, likewise china should start an investigation into the bidens. because what happened in china is just about as bad as what happened with ukraine. >> so, now we kn

they want to get more of these details locked down before they put it in front of president xi jinpingo sign. there is reason for that caution. may 2018 was one example when the chinese came back from negotiations with the u.s., thought they had some kind of deal. it looked very much like the phase one deal we have now. then, trump did a u-turn and they were left looking rather humiliated. you are seeing that in the language being displayed here, as well as the fake media is reporting. they are talking about substantial progress but they don't want to be touting something that maybe ripped up before their very eyes in the next few weeks. they want to avoid that humiliation. the other thing our sources tell us, the chinese are pushing for the potential tariff icon december. that is not going to happen. they are pushing for the same kind of action from the u.s. on december 15 as well. by the way, in terms of how committed china is to this deal, watching the yuan, according to the likes of capital economics. they say we should be watching for signs of china may be supporting the currency

how complicit is china's top leader xi jinping iof this? >> xi jinping leads the countryh just likleader of a tank platoon.small business or counte responsible for the things that happen in your name. we've watched this week with the n.b.a. but this problem etends far beyond this. the desire and actions have been taken on the ground to take down the muslim faith or destroy the uighur ethnicity. in the west in china is something that the department has spoken out about loudly. we hope china will change its direction. we think this is not only an enormous human rights violation but weinon't thit's in the best interest of the world or china to engage in this kind of behavior. >> woodruff: wll mr. xi himself be held accountable in the end, you think? doing everything we can to reverse the course of action that's been chosen there. we've now put 28ew countries, list, comnies that werengenty enabthe repression. the state department placed visa restrictions, we're going to continue to talk about these wman rights viehraitions. the president said i

would walk away from them as xi jinping seems to want them to? not going to unless the chinese make really big concessions. the chinese are trying to talk about this really small deal. the chinese want to run out the clock on trump administration's first term. one word that did not come up on friday or over the weekend was huawei. certainly, the chinese want it to be taken off the enemies list and given a new lease on life. they say that is part of a legal proceeding and law enforcement related to sanctions. see how they will find their way to a very large deal that would allow the u.s. did not go ahead with more sanctions or tariffs in december. joe: during one of the last democratic debates, they asked all the candidates whether they would roll the tariffs if elected, i don't think one of them raised their hands. i wonder if it may be a mis-play by the chinese to think that the pre-trump status quo would reemerge or if we are truly in a new era where attitudes toward china have changed and even if a new president were to take a harder line, tha

world and i read 250000 people are on a waiting list for public housing so what does that mean she jinping has to do if there's not going to be a military option like tiananmen square in $1809.00. well i think if you think back to me 2 years and she jumping visited hong kong and celebration the city said that was a red line across which people could not cross and we've seen that red line crossed again and again so how does that what does that mean for the party which a lot of people have overestimated i think. sort of underestimated the importance of hong kong is actually still very very important because it's still the main conduit for a lot of the money leaving china not only going into china and it's also very important region itself shanghai isn't there yet shanghai has tried repeatedly to unseat hong kong but it hasn't succeeded so economically hong kong is crucial and it also it has a very important psychological role in the makeup of the whole country so i think it's a real problem about how do you how do you deal with this child. and i don't really see where the answers are going t

that is what xi jinping wanted to espouse and what he focused on.have the military parade and this is quite something. tanks, new hypersonic drones. new nuclear missiles on display and in the past few minutes, dozens display and in the past few minutes, d oze ns of display and in the past few minutes, dozens of tanks rolling down tiananmen square. anonymous sign, 30 yea rs tiananmen square. anonymous sign, 30 years ago in 1989, today this is about a country showing off essentially to the rest of the world and showing the rest of the world how far it has come but having said all of that, there are no foreign dignitaries. this is a chinese centred event for essentially a chinese domestic audience. the choreography is immense. in tanks, on tanks, under tanks. choreography is immense. in tanks, on tanks, undertanks. the choreography is immense. in tanks, on tanks, under tanks. the military leadership in the run—up to today, has been a huge amount of operation. we are saying this isn't about china flexing its muscles. this isn't a show of strength. some

a very interesting argument i think certainly where we're seeing more and more party influence xi jinping is centering everything upon himself and where we saw it we still have the big capital a series like jack. agenda the right suddenly they're all kind of taking a backseat and everything is becoming very very party focuses so i think one could definitely argue that there is a very very strong state element now to everything going forward and how the economy is run behind i mean china at 80 we're talking about xi jinping president for life could be i'm not sure though because this is all going in the direction of a planned economy and it hasn't worked the 1st time and we're seeing a lot of inefficiencies now i wouldn't bet all my money on it working the 2nd time all right gentleman very hard barge the china expert with the bertelsmann institute clifford coonan with w. business and in washington bradley bowman the foundation for defense of democracies gentlemen great discussion thank you thank you. the impeachment proceedings against u.s. president trump are moving along quickly and the
