-- the ball is in the administration's court. it is up to the administration to turn this into concrete measures. week they said they would ban technology used to hong kong. that can have a significant impact. we have to wait and see if the administration will put sanctions on individuals and institutions violating hong kong's people's human rights. tom: the risk for the u.s. is that it has a trade surplus with hong kong, over $30 billion according to 2018 numbers. this impacts not just u.s. companies but the people of hong kong as well. behavior will not change.

what are the concrete measures you would like to see beyond this put in place? victoria: beijing all this time has been gearing that the u.s. will not take these measures. [indiscernible] on technology would be more important because a lot of involved.anies are impactal sanctions could ordinary citizens. point same time, at this it does not make sense to give hong kong privileges.

the one thing people are more alarmed about is the ability this law has for china to arrest foreign nationals if they spread malicious rumors, if they work or collude with foreign nations in sanctioning beijing. is it for china to enforce this on anyone? right,a: you are quite ,nd also for the same reason [indiscernible] sanctions on chinese leaders abusing human rights. china says if these people come

they will get into trouble. a lot of these people do not want to go to china or hong kong than it does not mean anything at all. dot china seems to want to that they will get into trouble. and then people like me from hong kong who live abroad cannot go home. it has a chilling impact on many people. it also means friends that i know want to fight even harder. any way anyhere international body or court can challenge this? everyone except china believes -- [indiscernible] when it comes to international

, only if beijing agrees to an international court of jurists, then there really is no jurisdiction over china. , we talk aboutnd , itu.s. imposing sanctions is not just the u.s. but european banks, korean banks, japanese banks. all of these working together can have an impact. potentiallyinesses overlooking the political risks and ramifications of the security law? victoria: i think you are right because for so long they have maybe things are not

going well in hong kong. or increasing cases of corruption in hong kong. hong kong used to have a clean record when it came to but the railway construction has problems with safety risks. everyone wants to say it does not matter, we are making money. they want profit margins to report to the shareholders. this law will affect making not , but if you have any

business deals with china or plan to go to china if you are an american or european working in hong kong, it can get to you. playing devil's advocate, given hong kong's importance in the financial world, given the amount of mainland money in hong kong now, can you give some benefit of the doubt that beijing will tread lightly with this bill and exercise pragmatism? we were speaking to lawmakers on the pro-china side who said, lifeout of politics and for hong kong people will relatively remain the same. victoria: there is some truth to that in a way, but it is a

function of how people will react to it. i think the rest of the world could look the other way. people issue condemnations about the education camps, repressive policies, yet they will not continue to look away, then the implementation will be hard. the worlder hand, will take some actions on hong kong, then beijing will think before it sends people to life imprisonment. the person i am most worried testified person who at the house foreign affairs committee's yesterday. would he be charged with colluding with foreign forces?

he would be subjected to life imprisonment and taken to beijing for torture. what is left for other people? thank you for joining us, victoria hui, associate professor, university of notre dame. we will be speaking to voices from all sides of the story and a basic law committee member onut china's tightening grip hong kong, and if he thinks it is a threat to the city's traditional freedom. tom: a new report from washington says the u.s. economy will contract more steeply this year, but will rebound more than previously seen in 2021. shrinking 6% in the coming months, then expanding by nearly 5% next year. the cbo expects job markets will

4% increase in our pipeline compared to the previous quarter this year. there is aiously, lot of interest on these china tech shares like alibaba. i spoke with charles lee a couple weeks ago, and he said it is not a matter of if an or when they will have to expand the scope to include some of these companies so mainland investors can tap in. how will that change the dynamics of the market, and will that turn hong kong more like the asian markets? it will don't think turn into the asian markets, but i want to comment on what charles mentioned. hong kong continues to play an important role in accessing the

china multilevel capital markets. they have their own objectives and goals and try to attract different companies. mention about the u.s. companies coming back to hong kong, in fact for the first six large scalead very u.s. listed chinese companies $17 a raising of billion. we expect there will be an expansion of four to six u.s.-based chinese companies coming in the second half of this year. this is mainly due to the fact that the hong kong stock exchange went through reform two years ago. a lot of these companies, they and the pricetor

is the only listing price they have. with the reform and successful for those who came for a secondary listing. the exchange in hong kong has been successful in attracting tech companies, especially focused on the e-commerce space. are they able to broaden the appeal going forward to attract a wider range of sectors and companies? guest: yes. we believe they will be able to do that. thee take a look so far in first six months, they are two

sectors which basically dominate the sector that we just mentioned. the other is biotech, and also what we call the companies including tnt. will continue to be active, and we estiamate there will be more successful listings on the exchange this year. on top of the sectors, which we have never seen in the past few we have seen medium sized ipos from the traditional sectors. for example, the financial institutions ipo coming in the next few months as well. tom: we should focus to the mainland. how compelling has the proposition been in terms of the

star markets, all those small private companies, those tech companies,, that want to raise funds? should we expect to see more activity pickup? i think the asian market since it has not been affected by covid-19 metal, we have seen very -- by covid-19 at all, we have seen that increase this year. launch last year, as well as the reform of th ee board related to the restoration system. believe the launch of the new hasd and the reform provided an alternative listing choice for the technology.

we have amended our forecast for the asian markets as compared to our forecast at the beginning of this year. we expect to continue growing in a totalets with fundraising of over 300 billion renminbi for this year. yvonne: if we see more reforms in the star board, will that put it in direct competition with hong kong? if i am a high-growth company, what will be the swing factor in choosing shanghai over hong kong now to list? it will be ak healthy competition. they are trying to attract different kinds of companies. for the hong kong markets, what we are focusing on is for those companies on international fundraising.

they would like to have more international investors to become their shareholders, or the companies are their focus coming to hong kong. the companies for the star board , they are trying to attract the chinese technology and innovation companies, which are of a smaller scale compared to those coming to hong kong. tom: thank you very much indeed. coming up, america's development bank is spending big. chinese companies like huawei and bte. why.ll ask the ceo

zte.d >> israel said less than a week ago they were not going to go forward with huawei and 5g. that is a very specific example. i will tell you something about israel. some people like israel, some people don't like israel. are a clear leader. the u.k. has indicated that they are seriously rethinking. initially, they were just using it at the outer edge where they felt comfortable, but now they are rethinking it. and the the israelis americans telling you this is a real security problem. we don't all say that all the time. it is not just because we are envious of huawei and big companies. that is all good and fine. that is commerce. but we have three countries that are known for their security intelligence services saying do

not do those. -- do not do this. in the country, there are certain places where i say it is not worth any amount of money. that is what you are hearing these countries say. region, huaweiis has long had a foothold in this region, particularly qatar. andis that pitch going here in saudi arabia, uae? >> i am not in qatar to talk about that particularly. every country has the right to make their own decision as they will. what i will say is the same thing i am saying on the news today. they have to decide whether that makes sense. it is something every country has got to think about seriously. there are other places to cut corners and save money. there are other places where you are not putting the entire security of your country at risk. cut corners there.

there are a lot of things that come cheap from china that you can buy. do you want your entire backbone's infrastructure to come from that country? it is a real question. >> how is dfc putting its money where its mouth is? >> in the particular area of 5g? >> yes. >> we have been looking a lot internationally at when 5g spectrum becomes available as people are buying equipment. we are out there financing that. we have been looking at a number of different countries at both purchasing spectrum and buildout in financing. another area you mentioned, belt and road. where is china substantially subsidized? with genetic testing, telecommunications. they are not substantially subsidizing in those areas because they are generous humanitarian gestures. i think everyone needs to know that.

our job sometimes is to help counter that, where it makes sense to say we can be out there too. sometimes when i go to countries, they say -- this is the most common thing. when i go to a country and meet with the head of state, the number one most common thing they will say is, i did not want to take money from that country. i knew what i was getting into, but i had no other alternative. where is the alternative? that is what dfc is. we are the alternative and we are out here, which is why i travel so much, to make sure the messages out there and build a personable relationship so people know there is an alternative here. and it is an alternative that will respect your sovereignty. i am not going to bring in thousands of americans to work. i am not going to threaten your environment. i am not going to build shoddy infrastructure that may collapse later. i am not going to set up a deal where i am going to reclaim a

disappointed that the company was saying it was not a work-related issue. this was starting debates within the firm internally about how the company could have handled this better. tom: what are the broader implications of this case for other chinese companies looking to expand abroad? showser: i think what it is not only firms in china trying to expand abroad, but all firms globally are trying to grapple with the issue about race and diversity, and we are already seeing how some firms, including follmann, jp morgan, are some -- goldman, j.p. morgan, are very vocal about it. chinese firms based on the conversations we have had with recruiters and management consultants, it seems when they go abroad diversity has traditionally been a less

priority for chinese firms. but because their global peers are trying to tackle this toter, it does prompt them take a higher level of prioritization for the issue of diversity as well. yvonne: have we heard from them on this story? how have they responded? reporter: in their response to our query, they said they do not tolerate racism and they are encouraging conversation at the firm. the firm has assured they have a wheree employee mixup, they employ more than 34 nations of employees at the firm right now. i think the firm is trying to address this matter better. tom: thank you very much. that is bloomberg finance

500 million plus round. that is one line coming through. the u.s. senate has given final approval to legislation that would impose sanctions on china's officials, cracking down on dissent in hong kong. it heads to president trump for his signature or veto with china promising a strong response. our next guest says that while the new security law may benefit hong kong, a balance has to be struck between public order and civil liberties. let's bring in albert chen. welcome to the show. the first question is about that balance it south. what do we have to balance? given that we do not know whether -- where the demarcations are. what are the limits to freedom of information, freedom of speech? terrorism as well.

could d facing a bus be seen as a terrorist act? it could be seen in some interpretations. guest: national security law creates four types of offenses. the first relates to secession, such as promoting hong kong independence. the second relates to subversion against the regime, such as trying to overthrow the political system in china. thirdly, the terrorist offenses. and finally, there is what is known as collusion with foreign political forces to endanger national security. you mentioned terrorism. the definition of terrorism in this law is consistent with terrorist laws in other -- idictions, including think terrorism is an internationally recognized

concept. so this definition of terrorism in the law is not out of line inh other laws on terrorism most other jurisdictions. not terrorism. terrorism is usually referred to acts aimed at a political objective which falls within a list of circumstances such as violence. but they may also include systems some electronic is the basis of some public infrastructure.

you just mentioned what they all covered. you went into terrorism in a little bit of detail, but the others, where are the demarcations? [crosstalking] think the others are quite clearly defined. we can discuss any particular offense you are interested in. in my view, the definitions are quite clear. it is perfect possible for hong kong people to avoid committing the acts specified in the law. i don't think it is unreasonable to require them not to commit these particular acts, which most of them, 98% of these acts are also outlawed in other jurisdictions, other countries.

of course, there are particular acts such as promoting hong kong may not have which a counterpart in countries like the u.k. or canada because, as you know in the u.k., you can promote scottish independence. provisions which do not have counterparts in other jurisdictions, but most other provisions like overthrowing the government, terrorism, and so on are actually in the national security laws of other countries as well. thing is we have the u.k. saying they could convert some of these overseas passports into permanent british citizenship. that is something china says goes against the declaration.

that is what they are saying. but two years ago, the ministry said that declaration itself was a historical document that had no longer any realistic meaning. that permeates across the board with regard to this bit of law as well. it is notthis, directly covered in the joint declaration. at the time it was entered into in 1984, china and hong kong entered into a memorandum of understanding regarding the nationality of hong kong people. because under colonial law, hong kong people, or many of them, were british nationals overseas or british citizens. the newr 1997, under

regime, if hong kong people became chinese citizens, if there is a need for an arrangement about what would be the nationality status of these people under chinese and hong kong and british law. holders of passports would still be regarded as chinese citizens under hong kong law and chinese .aw in britain, they regard them as a form of citizens. time -- yes? haslinda: going back to the freedom of speech, how can there be freedom of speech when the chinese government keeps expanding what constitutes a violation? already it is saying the main chant of protesters would violate the law. what is your take on that? speech isedom of

indeed limited, but it is mainly the freedom to advocate hong kong independence or the freedom to advocate overthrowing the chinese communist party. is somedmit there limitation of freedom of speech in relation to secession and subversion. haslinda: under what circumstances can the people criticize the government without getting into trouble? guest: criticism of the arernment or its policies lawful. organizedly prohibits attempts of movements to, for example, change the chinese political system so it is no longer a communist society, or try to achieve

know a bed venture capital when investors receive equity in exchange for investing in a company. taking offe debt is in southeast asia. in involves lending money to early stage funds, which deals with dilution. genesis is one such lender to early companies. let's bring in jeremy loh. we have heard from some saying that equity finding is challenging among the pandemic. is this the reason why there is

so much interest in venture debt? haslinda. that is a pleasure, and thank you for having me on the show. with the covid situation, it has pushed venture debt into the limelight, and it is becoming a mainstream source of funding. andook back on the u.s. where venture debt is known. venture debt in southeast asia is gaining prominence now. important role in funding the growth of any company, big and small. venture debt has claimed the role for funding startups, and cash is very well needed now. up are looking for that much-needed capital growth. haslinda: is demand coming ornly from new startups

startups capping venture debt? guest: i think that is a distinction there. venture debt can fund companies in the growth stage. venture debt does not fund early companies in the stage where the entrepreneurs are turning an idea into a business. business becomes commercially viable, that is where the lenders come in. venture debt will play a role in helping fund the growth of the company. youinda: how cautious are when lending out money? we know from our research that interest charges go anywhere from 14% to 36%. that is very high. guest: if you look at the cost of capital between equity and debt, equity definitely is much more expensive. of course, they are funding a higher risk company when the

company is very young. the business idea is still in the experimental stage. ofn you look at the effect lending, it can go anywhere from the high single digits and more. more importantly, lending is not available for companies that are equity sponsored. they do not have a track record. they are still trying to find their footing in the industry, and they are disrupting very big giants. we are talking about the likes of uber. a risk right, there is element there. we are cautious, but we bring about a specialty part of our experience. we have both the venture side of the equation, most of us, and the team has been either venture capital or privite equity

investors. we bring in the credit experience. we have given venture debt as well. rishaad: why would you go down that route as opposed to taking a loan, for instance? the loan is not available for these companies. if you look at the u.s. and india, where venture debt is very well understood for its merits by both the entrepreneurs and others in that part of the world, venture debt in southeast asia has only taken off since 2015, but is growing very rapidly. there has to be a fine balance between debt and equity. that is why we are seeing more traction, and over the last two or three months when covid hit we have gotten more inquiries. we have signed on more as well.

we are hoping to grow our portfolio size. tell us a bit about where you have been investing. genesis is southeast asia's first private venture debt firm. we only invest in companies that are in this region, mainly singapore, indonesia, vietnam, thailand, malaysia, and the philippines as well. we have been investing in companies between the stages of series b, and these companies are looking for more capital that comes in the form of the traditional working capital. growth asia is to fund ad the account receivables in

company. when they approach a traditional financial institution, they are not able to get a much-needed loan approved, and that is why they turned to a specialty company like genesis. rishaad: thank you so much for joining us today. mumbaitting the open in as markets are getting open. let's take a look how they are performing. we have the nifty moving to the positive side of the column, alongside what we are seeing in the rest of the region with gains on wall street. all of them are essentially up 0.6% to the upside. haslinda: highs in four months for indian stocks. ray dalio says the recent actions means capital markets are no longer free. we spoke earlier with the bridgewater cochairmen and

founder of the world largest financial company. today, the economy and the markets are driven by the central banks. coordination with the central government. what i mean by that is the purchases right now of financial assets by the federal reserve or the purchases by the federal reserve of government securities are the drivers of that market. the production of the money, if you look at money and you look at who is in the markets. the federal reserve for example thatset an interest rate for different types of creditors based on the exact amount of objective. in the old days, when we had the 2008 financial crisis, we needed to protect banks because they

were systemically important, thenon he market funds -- money make market funds. if they did not go out and make lending to companies, including what we call fallen angels, those that were just above investment grade and fell into investment-grade, we would lose large parts of our economy. so we are in a situation now where they are the market makers. take the market out, take the central banks out, and we have a different story. including the value of money. think about it in europe for example. the central bank will lend to banks at a minor 1%. that means you do not have the interest payments. in fact, you have interest payments. and the central banks will take

that debt on. and they have a political agenda, not an economic agenda, in which they will determine whether they will be paid back or when they want to be paid back based on how the economy is doing and what will happen. in that case, like the example in europe and similar situations in the united states and japan in varying degrees, they will make loans that have interest credits almost, or let's say zero. you don't have to pay interest back. and you may not have to pay principal back .it depends on what the conditions are at the time. those are markets which are driven by central banks, not only their actions, but their desire to be an owner of those assets and their priorities about that ownership, when they buy and when they sell, are not the same as a classic free market allocations.

as a result, the capital markets are not free markets allocating resources in the traditional ways. one of the questions investors are wrestling with is how far central banks are willing to go in their effort to reflate financial assets to begin with, and of course they hope transmit some stuff through to the real economy that results in growth and jobs? how far are central banks willing to go with this power they have discovered they have? central banks are willing far asnd need to go as it takes in order to keep the system afloat because to hash keep the system afloat. because we are in the late systems, we see a lot of that. you will see balance sheets explode. the choiceo because
