that is how people's republic of china. that is now on people's republic of china. that is now on notice. the trump administration has made some gestures, borrowing the export defence materials, some high—tech stuff, some visa... it's hard for washington to go all the way, in pa rt washington to go all the way, in part because the trade relationships between hong kong, china and the us are reciprocal, the impact on hong kongis are reciprocal, the impact on hong kong is particularly reciprocal because the us is one of them —— has one of the largest trade surpluses with hong kong, $31 billion. there isn't an easy answer. trump, in a struggling bed for re—election, it needs to sell agricultural goods to china, china knows that and is tightening the screws. i think what we have seen in hong kong clearly is a reset. we thought it would be this notion of one country, two systems, a more democratic and open system in hong kong that would last 50 years from the handover in 1997. china has moved quickly to change that in the la st moved quickly to change that in the last yea

of china's mineral system people's republic of china's mineral syste lic of china's mineral system onto a hong kong common law system, leading beijing with discretion to decide who should fall into which system. is that a question? that is his analysis of this law. i am asking, is that the question? you are simply repeating somebody, what somebody said. this isa somebody, what somebody said. this is a violation. you are not putting the question properly. now, the law says that it would be enforced in the common law, under the common law system, as i have explained it to you, with reference to protections under the basic law and the two conventions on human rights, and with reference to the rule of law and all the projections to a defendant will be there. it would be applied by hong kong courts by the way. your suggestion seems to be that hong kong got mad... at the hong kong bar association which has condemned the national security law and utterly inconsistent with the basic law, former bar association share who says that hong kong, as we know it, as a

and, frankly, neither does the peoples republic of china. here are several areas that are highlighted in my testimony where there are, at least areas of potential cooperation between us. i will say senator that my 16 page testimony had to be cut back by one third. in doing so, we had to remove a litany of the issues that you have raised. many of them are still running when rated there it is a long list and a formidable challenge, a generational challenge that we face with china. notwithstanding the smaller areas of these cooperations that are violated, we have an enormous task ahead of us to turn back the challenge from china. >> i agree. the challenge is only growing every day as i see it i ask you about some of the positive lines of communication we do have open with china it is important to have that. i believe that, with regard to the ceiling of technology and invasion that we are finding waking up as a country, i think that we typically point a finger at china, when in fact, we need to be in our own house. one is not to be naive about wh

indeed cooperation in the people's republic of china to understand the origins and with the barrette virus. i will say that it's been a stubborn resistance that we face from the people's republic of china pretty dating back to mid-january when i was first engaging this issue with the chinese government over several weeks refused to allow up to be a joke but delegations in china. in order to examine these issues. at present, we are now an environment which we will overwhelmingly, passed a resolution calling for that exact kind of investigation under independent leadership. it is appointed to with who perspective leader to lead that effort. there deeply frustrated by their inability to gain access in order to do the work that the world health organization has appointed them to do. we would be prepared to have that discussion. we could potentially open some areas of cooperation with china. to the benefit of the entire world. if i'm these issues with this counterpart in honolulu approximately a month ago when we met there. unfortunately the chinese have not taken up on that proposal. >> t

trump and congress, it is a perfect time for china to make a move to change the game in hong kong and to make hong kong simply part of the people's republicng with you, staying with the us and calculation from the around the world and within the us, we need to look at what a biden presidency may look like, might be different or more of the same? we are only four months which that poll, how is the challenger looking? four months yesterday, in fact, is election day. it's actually approaching. i think we all know the answer to that, it would be a very different presidency. i think that most americans and much of the world is simply exhausted by trump. biden doesn't have to do very much right now. all of the polls and poll averages give him almost ten points margin on trump, he is ahead in the key swing states by anywhere from 6—10%. sometimes higher. biden, at this moment, the election were held things would change so let's be clear on that. a biden presidency would be more stable, it would be a much more empathetic one, it... and he spent his first four years as vice president, doing the same, looking out for workers in the contrary, strate
