well you are talking about mainland china you're not talking about hong kong in hong kong you know we have a common law system and we have the presumption of innocence anyone arrested can apply for haiti as kopper's conviction on criminal offense needs a very high burden of proof in fact proving beyond reasonable doubt which we know these safeguards are here they're over we already implemented the international covenant on civil and political rights through our basic law and the bill of rights in hong kong so called has a different system you shouldn't alum our system to gether what mainland china system we have strong protection of person no data privacy so what you just said simply does not apply to hong kong where you say you have these common law safeguards how long are you going to have them for when the new law comes into into effect look in detail at how beijing uses its national security laws on the mainland to curtail personal freedoms and snuff out dissident voices that's that's what is in store out of all of the us do you know you don't really understand the real situation

but your pay hong kong. i a lwa ys message. but your pay hong kong.dent of hong kong. do you really wa nt to resident of hong kong. do you really want to see hundreds of thousands potentially millions of the brightest and the best in hong kong making in exodus, a rush for the exit door and leaving the territory? well, i would say why not? at least we need to protest the people of hong kong that is the first duty. we need to safeguard. because if they still staying in hong kong and they have sacrifice with their life, it's worthless to me. i would say that is not just rescue worthless to me. i would say that is notjust rescue the hong kong people, it means that they rescued the people, that love democracy. and that they scaled rescue. that the british citizens as well. do you think many hong kong is will choose to try to leave at least? at least we need to give life boats to them. if they wanted they have a way to leave. it's about more though than just the capacity to give to people who have the passport to leave. it's also whether the international c

i also feel calm factor the situation in hong kong how one country 2 systems clearly operate hong kong never leaves the news for long these days now it's the draft of a new security law to be imposed by beijing that's provoking controversy and protests joining me this week from hong kong is regina it's a member of the city's legislative council and chair of the probe aging new peoples party will the communist authorities try to use this law as they have with other security statutes on the mainland to violate basic rights and restrict free expression. did you not you're welcome to a conference on. hello you recently wrote an article about the controversial new security law that china's going to impose on hong kong and you said this does not necessarily spell the death of hong kong separate systems but you're taking a huge gamble backing this law aren't you because beijing has done everything it can to prove that it's not interested in those separate systems not interested in freedom of expression human rights or the rule of law is it. i don't think we need to come to a conclusion becaus

now in hong kong.when i got back to hong kong, i would be secretly abducted from hong kong to mainland china. that happened long before this law. exactly. afterwards, the main point is that they legalise their behaviour. it means that they are not secretly doing it, they willjust openly do it, and they have legal grounds to do it. we are in a dark room because we don't know exactly what they will execute, and what is the jurisdiction between mainland china and hong kong, that is what i am so worried about. you are worried that the chinese government has a very clear message. the deputy director of the hong kong affairs office in beijing says it's quite clear the security laws that have now been applied to hong kong will give the majority there much more freedom and protection, because they will no longer fear violence, they will be able to speak the truth on the street without being beaten up, and they will no longer have to worry about the young people of the territory being brainwashed by people like

a vigil in defiance for the 1st time hong kong. to remember the taliban's square massacre it comes as china for a pass to impose national security laws on the semi autonomous territory so will the city's democracy movement. this is inside story. hello welcome to the program and it's. hong kong has held a candlelight vigil to remember the tiananmen square massacre every year for the past free decades it's one of only 2 territories in china the other is macau where people can openly commemorate the chinese army's crackdown on democracy protests in 1989 but this year for the 1st time the memorial has been banned in both places police in hong kong cited the corona virus outbreak and restrictions on mass gatherings but some still defied the ban and gathered in the city's victoria park vigil organizers say the ban is an excuse to limit dissent. this is totally political motive a that the way you look at hong kong everything business as normal when you go to the subway is far more far more congested than any political gathering in hong ko

would always remain hong kong was chinese justification for this well hong kong will always remain as hong kong the one country 2 system will continue up to. $2847.00 and nothing will be changed in hong kong now every country has a national security law the british does have that the united states have that what china is doing for hong kong now is no more than what the british had in hong kong prior to $997.00 just imagine anyone would do anything in hong kong prior to $997.00 which would threaten the national security interest of british empire or the british government or the british monarch for example no way it's not possible the british rulers before 997 would never tolerate any such threat to the british national security interest it is the same case for china we know what china what hong kong has experienced over the past a year or even over the past 4 years or so and i think this national security law is very much targeted against any person any political force which wants to use hong kong. as a threat to challenge china's sovereignty over hong kong and to china challenge the

what happens in hong kong is especially if it seemed to be. strengthening of the hammock that they are saying that governments are wrong that is going to make hierarchy even less willing to come to some kind of political arrangement with yasi because it demonstrates that they can't be trusted there is a joint declaration that spoke of. a high degree of autonomy of the hong kong and there was an article pretty extreme which spoke it's. humbling to do sing this no decision on its own and this is just not happening china is imposing this new national security war on our 2nd day as far as peacefully and it's against and that's a very different set of questions that. we just do not have at the moment that china is still i am not opposed to the mantra of peaceful reunification as that. but there has been no real movement in. developing a political relationship with iraq in the last few years and it's not likely to happen ok emily you've been an advocate for hong kong and democratic principles in hong kong for a long before the handover don't you fin

hong kong has those laws.nts is the sort of law that would be unacceptable to people in hong kong because it would take away some of their basic freedoms. that's what the argument is about, not whether there should be national security law. yvonne: that was the former hong kong governor speaking to stephen engle. some lines crossing from local media. ming powell reporting that china is to holder press briefing on the security law -- is to hold a press briefing on the security law this tuesday and they will publish it in the government gazettes. this could perhaps be the first time see the full language and text of the national security legislation. we did have early reporting that said the law committee will be meeting later today immediately after this was passed, to discuss the insertion into the basic law. perhaps we will get more detail later this afternoon. we have a and continuation of the rhetorical but also the cheerio tit-for-tat between the u.s. and china -- but also the material tit-for-tat between

the hong kong judiciary in the long run do you think that you will have any useful part in hong kong future in the weeks months and years ahead or are you now obsolete. well it's really very much depends on whether we can whether the chinese government still respect the legislature because. in hong kong we can all we always have freedom of. speech we can always have a freedom of expression but under this legislation which likely will be promulgated tomorrow or freedom and rights as still protected under basic law whether this law will come of. hong kong local legislature as well as the basic long so that means future is very uncertain although some people say that this legislature we're only at fact a small number of people but you can see that under the definition of a national security in china it covers a very very wide range of specs for example light economies education as well as religion so i really don't know what's what will happen in even tomorrow so it's very much a pence on whether ministration will exercise self-restraint very briefly then i want to ask you about your re

culture, the vibrancy of hong kong. it's just absolutely stunning, and it's all possible. it's all possible, let's be clear, because freedom has prevailed in hong kong, or at least it used it, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom to practice their faith as they see fit, an independent judiciary and the rule of law. and all of that, all of it, is very, very seriously threatened right now by the chinese communist party because their greatest fear is that the people on the mainland will observe the freedoms in hong kong and decide maybe they'd like some of those freedoms too and that is the risk the chinese communist leadership cannot tolerate. i want to commend my colleague from missouri for putting a spotlight on this, bringing it to the attention, and calling the senate to defend the people who seek only their freedom. and i very much want to thank my colleague from maryland. as he pointed out, we've been partners on legislation in the past. nobody works heard to get their -- harder to get their objective acc
