hong kong and macau affairs office. repeated many of the things that beijing has been saying before it was the 1st time the hong kong and macau affairs office has ever held a press conference in hong kong usually they act in. the back behind the scenes so this is quite noticeable noticeable is also that what we've just heard although it might seem kind of confrontational towards the west is rather moderates for beijing's standards scaremongering for foreigners scaremongering is something much less than what others for example the foreign ministry has had to before they have said that poorness have orchestrated these protests at some instances so we are obviously seeing some attempt to to tone down the office has nothing has promised nothing it has given nothing to the protesters it has backed the police it has backed kerry lam's government so there's nothing new here we might also be seeing some kind of dealing in inside the communist party on who is in charge there was a an editorial today in the party newspaper that w

the hong kong and macau affairs office gave its first press conference to get spoke directly to journalistshong kong handover in 1997. really to give beijing's viewpoint on the ongoing turmoil on the streets of hong kong. it tried to explain the violence on the streets and blamed it on a small number, it said, of radical protesters who had been influenced by overseas forces. however it also tried to keep a distance from day—to—day events in hong kong, reaffirming its trust in authorities, support for the chief executive carrie lamb and also, crucially, its ongoing respect for the hong kong police. —— carrie lam. the hong kong police have come under a lot of criticism for the use of force against unarmed protesters but the authorities did not seem to give any indication that they were unhappy about that. also, really, the underlying message is that beijing is not ready nor considering the idea of going in itself, sending the idea of going in itself, sending the chinese military into hong kong at this moment. it was the one question during the press conference that the spokespeople did not se

affa i rs government, the hong kong macau affairs office.st major press conference since the former british colony of hong kong was handed over to china in 1997. so, yes, this is incredibly rare, and it is unclear, we're going to be at this press conference for any indication of what beijing is thinking it will do. now, it could try to calm tensions. it could try to indicate that it will leave this affairand to indicate that it will leave this affair and indicate this is really an internal affair affair and indicate this is really an internalaffair in affair and indicate this is really an internal affair in hong kong. or it might threaten the ultimate military intervention. china's people's liberation army is partly stationed inside hong kong. it does have the ultimate safety control over hong kong's external affairs. so it does have that ability to go m, so it does have that ability to go in, if it chooses. we will be watching for any indication of which avenue beijing is going to take. how was all of this being played out and being seen in

shery: that is really interesting because this was the first briefing from china macau and hong kong office since 1997. it was a pretty historic briefing there were lots of jitters going into this, what will they say? what was really interesting was also what they did not say. they didn't talk about military intervention. when the official was asked the question, he sidestepped it and said there are clear rules and kong'sic law, hong constitution. that really gives great latitude to the chinese government. still, there were no open calls for government and -- government intervention or any huge policy proposals. we did get more support for chief executive carrie lam which was in itself surprising. romaine: let's talk about the market reaction. it was down 1%, the hang seng index, but it pared back some of those losses when they reiterated the one country, two systems in hong kong. of course, when we talk about expectingy, we are quarter gdp numbers out on wednesday. we have already seen the economy fall below that 1% growth level for quite some time now. caroline: we have actually he
