have these clashes? the people's republic of china, beijing has reneged our promises. in the british joint declaration of 1984, china promised hong kong a high degree of autonomy for 50 years under the one country two systems formula. since the return of hong kong to china that occurred in 1997 since that time china has encroached on those freedoms it has taken away that autonomy. the attempt to seize control of hong kong therefore is the direct and primary cause of the marchers, the protesmarches, the disturbances that we have seen since april but especially since the middle of june. the immediate grievances the extradition bill proposed by the chief executive, the chief political official in hong kong. this bill would have allowed hong kong to send fugitives to the people's republic where of course there is no rule of law or justice but also opposed by the business community. the community was concerned that hong kong would no longer be a refuge, that they would be subject to their predatory chinese business partners who would use the bill as a weapon to reach into hong kon

. if only beijing would understand what makes hong kong ticked. what are the values that we hold dear. then they can use energy to benefit china and hong kong and instead they have a mentality of control . . . . . . if the chief executive and legislative council members were elected without influence over the candidate selection. in light of the astronomy and the recent violence against peaceful protesters, i believe it is time for the united states to reconsider its policies. the u.s., hong kong relations are governed by the policy act of 1992 that commits the united states to trading in hong kong as a second territory from the rest of china so long as it remains sufficiently autonomous. i'm proud to support hr 3289 the human rights democracy act sponsored by senator abo and congressman smit smith the litte station requires the secretary to certify on an annual basis hong kong is autonomous in order to justify special economic financial and trade treatment different from mainland china under u.s. law. it's time we put the government on an annual notice further erosion of autonom

demonstrates that there have been regular payments by the taiwan affair office beijing makes it no secret of the fact that they can hope to spread the communist party message in the taiwan. we saw that the summit earlier this year. the standing committee told taiwan representatives to achieve peaceful unification and that the party depends on their friends and said that they would be remembered by history once unification occurs. i will leave it to others to talk about the protests in hong kong. i know that they're having a major impact. one of the activists joshua wong is in washington, d.c. hoping to get the support. but they are backing away from their pledge to preserve the autonomy in taiwan. it's stirred fears about their own future. there's a lot of anxiety about the application. and even some orders who favored the broad freedoms. and we heard the mayor say over his dead body. one country and two systems would be implemented. in the event that we end up with violence in hong kong of any kind it will have a deep and enduring impact with china. i think that goes without saying. so i do

crisis deepened and it is beijing that did not that her resign and take care of the mess that she helped create. so the content itself is not new. but as new is that now we hear from herself but actually he wanted —— she wanted to resign and the owner that it is beijing that didn't let her resign. some protesters i know are suspicious that this is not an accidental leak. i think it is a reasonable suspicion that actually carrie lam herself might be responsible and is partly for letting this creep out so to let this tenement to letting people know that she is not the one he was adamant and refuses to apologise and refuses to resign and if there is some priority high up making her not able to make a formal apology and resign. so what would you say, can she do? i think it is very tricky for her that definitely that if she really insist on resigning for health reasons or whatever, she can still do it but if beijing really don't —— doesn't want her to resign and she resides, regardless, it would be kind of very bad for her future relations with beijing that there might be consequences

resistance against what many see as the creeping authoritarian reach of beijing he is leading a fight against what some say is the inevitable that one day hong kong special status within china will be no more or wong insists that hong kong have a right to determine their own destiny but in the eyes of beijing this is a dangerous dance with the notion of regime change it has already gotten him arrested earlier this week when he tried to board a plane to fly to berlin police detained him for 24 hours today i spoke with joshua walking about his hopes for his whole and why those hopes have brought him here to berlin. just one year here in berlin and you've said that hong kong is the new berlin what do you mean by that under the rule off press and she's been paying erode on hong kong people autonomy and freedom we strongly experienced a crackdown off human rights with protests which similar as was experienced by people in burning in the last century also and to a group that's the reason we have people in germany can stand with hong kong standing with hong kong means what are you here asking for im

is threatening to pull focus from beijing celebrations and embarrass authorities police have made clear this weekend that un sanctioned rallies will not be tolerated by us there's only so much they can do to keep people off the streets instead of massively scaled back the annual celebrations to prevent them from being swarmed by protesters ordinarily this area behind me is packed with people marking the anniversary this year though all the ceremonies have had to be moved inside into that building that roadblocks like these ones stopping people from even getting close in the evening a massive fireworks display that usually lights up the sky behind me drawing thousands has also had to be councils. if you look hard enough you will find some signs of support for the anniversary a few lone flags lined the streets of a neighborhood known for its prey beijing sentiment. one local shop owner tells me he's looking forward to the anniversary but even he will be marking it privately. so once you juggle it i will spend the day doing my duty as a chinese citizen i will do my best to run my bus

beijing may not be willing to sack the chief executive of hong kong but what the why isn't the why isn't beijing willing to consider other demands particular when it comes to the release of the prisoners and a full inquiry into the acts of violence committed by the police i think. this popular uprising in hong kong really is the chinese coming. next one event and really doesn't have any good options left you can basically choose between. any of their kind of scenarios we were talking about. see or entire wrote a story that kerry. offered to withdraw the bill and beijing said no now she has declared at least that she's willing to do that she's offered to step down but beijing said no so we we have a. not a paradox where the how can i say our government is no longer able to actually self govern the central government is overbearing but the central government also can walk directly who are on call because the hong kong must not accept that and so they really don't have any good options left and then at the same time compromise not so enraged by the brutality of the police that every day tha

following pressure by beijing over participation of allen employees in anti-government protests meanwhile it has emerged that china is giving less business to hong kong due to its trade war with the u.s. as well as the ongoing pro-democracy protests that nearly half of respondents to the latest hong kong purchasing managers index reported lower demand from china the city has long been a financial hub for the mainland but it is also an off shore haven for many of china's elites as a new study shows and the suggest may force beijing's hand to be more lenient with hong kong's protesters we want to talk to the author of that study in a moment but 1st this report. stocks have fallen the airport brought to a standstill business orders are now dropping protesters in hong kong are targeting china by paralyzing its biggest financial hub. yet hong kong doesn't care the way that used to industrial mainland cities like want joe and shun journ now rival its economic output. but hong kong separate legal and financial systems offer something those cities don't protection from beijing's reach f
