army commander for hong kong previously ran an elite and seemingly very violent commando unit in xinjiang hunting down and apparently killing. um, you know people they regardless as muslim terrorists are separatists. so yeah, you sent people like that to hong kong again. it was a free peaceful prosperous city, but you send people are hardline 30 people from the ccp the chinese communist party and you're going to get a particular outcome. in the book you talk a great deal about the notion of hong kong. is this very free open capitalist city a place where basically people flock to make money, and anybody who spent time in hong kong, you know sees that there's other side but there's the gleaming, you know, the huge office towers and and it's you know until recently very easy to get a visa to get a work visa very easy to travel in an auto hong kong it, you know low tax, you know, very business friendly and the thinking in the years before the protests and certainly the crackdown was that even she didn't paying the sheeping and the ccp of today didn'tt to give up the so called goose that laid

you don't have western media relationship in xinjiang and tibet. so i guess that could be a precedent. i think hong kong is going to ring as a major city and as long as they keep giving visas there will at least be some limited presence. to say, bill, you know, i've known bill a long the gentleman's time has expired. and when we first knew each other it was, and i lived in korea. i went there in the '80s when it was still under essentially under military rule. the idea that the "new york times" would have editorial people in seoul because they couldn't be in hong kong for one reason or another initially for visa reasons, is just mind-boggling to me that in a space of three years a place like south korea that's under military control becomes a very open society and a place like hong kong that seems to open is a place where the through children's storybook illustrators into jail without bail. >> that's pretty mind-boggling. a question, xi thought a chaste expert but was in hong kong independence in the treaty limited to a certain time where hong kong

rejected a proposal to debate a report that contains evidence of human rights abuses in china's xinjiangled the plan western interference, and lobbied hard against it, especially among african countries with which it has strong economic ties. the document contains evidence of torture, forced labour, and arbitrary detentions. the debate had been proposed by the us, eu countries, and britain. pakistan's prime minister shehbaz sharif says he should not have to beg for help after catastrophic monsoons flooded one third of the country. he also said he would be seeking "climate justice" from the international community. the official death toll from the floods is at least 1600, though many estimates on the ground have been higher. more than nine million people have been displaced and over two million homes destroyed. rescue workers in the ukrainian city of zaporizhzhia are continuing their search for people buried in the rubble, after russian missiles hit residential buildings on thursday. volunteers formed human chains to dig through the debris —— to dig through the debris — and sniffer dogs a

abuses by the chinese government against the uyghur population and the muslim minority population in xinjianglding that sort of influence and power at the united nations, surely that leaves you feeling pretty hopeless? yeah, sometimes you can't avoid that feeling. and i admit that it takes time. but look at myself. i'm a fine example. i am still safe here. i don't feel the australian government, in any chance, want to extradite me, won't send me back to hong kong or china, or perhaps one day they will grant me asylum. so, in that sense, i think it's a battle to fight on. it's not a winning battle. we don't know yet, but i can see that democracies in free countries in the world are uniting. they are joining hands together into one stronger camp for democracy and freedom. that, i can see, is essential for checks and balances against the growing economic power or political power china is going to be. let's now turn from the international context, in which you work now as an activist in exile, to what is actually happening on the ground in hong kong itself, because, of course, you still have very

, everyone predicted well, roughly, this is how the drift would be, then a problem appeared with xinjianggurgaon autonomous region, where the uyghurs live, where they live muslims began quite active actions of the central government of china , the persecution of these people, the creation of some camps , which the world media writes about, this was not foreseen and the west started it to criticize until this was not a western thing, he criticized , he understood that there is a ruling communist party, she sits at the head. well, no one expects that tomorrow the communist party will dissolve by itself, that's the story, that's why he said, and putin is unique because he is unpredictable. what do i lead to? we don't know if he wants to finish like hitler, the only thing i think is that he won't want to finish like hitler, you know, well, this is such a very slippery topic, i don't want it to be compared because hitler, you know, you have to have a certain courage for that to be hitler and much less courage is needed to be putin. putin never took courageous steps, and from the first day of h

territory which for at least 20 years was a de facto independent state, in fact the very name of xinjiangat is, this part of er is the name of sentian the obolon autonomous district itself means a new conquest from the chinese, that is, in fact, from the early modern times, when this territory became part of er china, er, then still monarchical china, it was considered rather such a western province of the empire than directly er ethnic chinese territory . and it must be said that in general, hmm, in general, there was more of an ideological struggle, that is, in ukraine, it was really islam, and this policy especially intensified after the collapse of the soviet union in 1991, when such the communist leadership of china saw how quickly, let's say, communist communism can fall, and the peoples of the national republic can, let's say, return this national identity and declare their own statehood. they began, let 's say, to strengthen this policy. nagora came out, she came out as the owner of islamic narratives, islam as an ideology for the liberation of the cultures themselves, and in 2016

on zte, how we weren't as aggressive crack down on the horrors, difficult human rights abuses in xinjiang province, where you have the wiggers essentially in constant training camps used as slave labor and the healthiest ones are used as organ donors. i mean, that's on our watch. and i'd sit there. yes. you know, minutia. i get back to that s.o.b. and that's what i felt like every time i'd have these debates, i'd be sitting in the situation room. he didn't care. he did not care. it's like it was all about the deal. so let me ask you then and i think this is fascinating, you make a very good case for the need to constrain in china. yes. at the very least, maybe the word is containment. maybe the word is maybe the word is decouple economic clique, because that's i think, where we need to go. again, comically. fair enough. but china is also a global player. right. and they are attempting to make and this not just about we i think there's a good argument for decoupling a lot of our supply chain plant just supply chains from china. we need rare earth elements for our military equipment. we don

together launched target of sanctions against chinese officials over the human rights violations in xinjiang. you see that backlash continued. it is not became calm has not become a big wave yet. that's where you come from, right, the electoral. because the administration, let me make a few comments about biden administration and encode and after my comments there. com. but the general approach that they are for them they are against. and with those communist party officials. and they are accompanied with chinese military. so the biden administration it demonstrates just like the previous obama administration biden leaves the gap between what they say and what they do. trump had the same problem but it was opposite. he made us cringe when he spoke to say oh he is great and he is my friend but he actually surrounded himself with people who are really strong the national security. but the biden administration wears like the opposite. like china and russia but then had a policy so even though it continued the policy on china and it was with what happened to be back in march and the chinese dipl

lucked out like a moves across the country, you have still got the best parts of the northwest, xinjiangockdown, schools shut down in junco -- chengdou. i'm not a huge amount of cases -- not a huge amount of cases definitely some in that factory, the biggest in the world. it has gone into a closed loop where the workers are only allowed to go from there company dormitory to the production lines, tested regularly and kept inside a factory bubble in essence. it seems as though some of the workers do not want to be subject to those restrictions or are afraid of the outbreak inside the factory and are leaving the factory. we are unsure if this is having any impact on production, but it appears as though they aren't leaving, walking out of the factory, and some of those departures facilitated by the city government and governments where those workers live. annabelle: -- shery: we did not really see any indication of where the covid zero policy was going during the party congress. what seems to be the endgame for these leaders right now, and could we see or walk us like this from different bus

associated with the code and again now here is the largest province chuvane turned out to be, and xinjiangble at the same time, the european union, and now the united states will impose sanctions on foreigners who trade oil with russia. yes, that is, this is still an additional burden associated with e-e access to energy for china, and at the same time, china is of course interested in increasing and increasing by a multiple of e, the amount of energy it receives from our country. that is, china is generally the largest player in e. the price of oil depends on its consumption in this area no less than this decision of guardians. despite all the sanctions, despite all the threats, china is fulfilling its obligations as a strategic partner of our country in full in the energy sector. this is only part of this second front that china is for us. you only imagine that there would be no this front authors. if china did not buy oil, gas, even at a discount, yes, uh, and that would make uh, our situation much more difficult. at the same time, of course, the chinese proceed not only from an allied

uh trap in 1819 almost simultaneously with the trade war and uh, then there was hong kong uh was xinjianguh, the taiwanese crisis has intensified it's all part of this cold war aimed at containing uh, china. i think it's a nuisance for china. probably even a big nuisance, because the chinese somehow missed the development of semiconductors. e, believing that their e, a marriage of convenience with america will continue for how long there, but they have been forcing for several years now. the development of its own semiconductor e-chip, and the industry has advanced very far, so this is a nuisance. uh, it might slow down china's economic development, but it won't stop it , and uh, taiwan either. uh, so great was the interpenetration of china and taiwan before the seventeenth year. $200 billion in taiwanese crypto on the mainland out of taiwan's 23 million inhabitants, a million was in china as faculty advisors, engineers, and so on and so forth. naturally. all this has shrunk, but up to certain e limits and know the taiwanese well. and knowing the chinese well. i think they're finding some
