al-jazeera london well the debate department is standing by in hong kong the 1st let's go to beijing at katrina you is right there and katrina let's start with the story about what way a big reversal in the u.k. what's china saying about that how is it responding. we had to hear an official response from beijing but we had heard a response from china's ambassador to the u.k. leo shalmi and he said in a tweet that he was disappointed that this was the wrong decision and he also raised questions about the u.k.'s ability to now provide a fair and nondiscriminatory environment for foreign businesses going forward now this largely echoed statement from a itself overnight on tuesday evening saying that they were disappointed by this move that this move only serves to put the u.k. on the technology slow lane that it will increase the digital divide and really deprive u.k. consumers of the best and latest technology so far unsurprisingly the strongest response we've had has been from state media in particular from the global times which is quite a strongly worded newspaper there's an editori

lots of people gathering is that causing some concern in beijing. certainly raising a watching what's happening in hong kong very closely i think they would have expected these protests to happen and they're watching to see how the hong kong police handle them and how many people are arrested as sara said at least 2 people have already been arrested less than a day after this national security law was announced and these rules of course give beijing sweeping new powers in hong kong and the main messages from beijing to the people who call that is now mainland china that in charge and look at the law itself and see how this is manifested yes it is hong kong police who are on the ground publicly enforcing this lol but behind the scenes it's beijing intelligence security officials who are perhaps pulling strings working and surveilling blowers who are accused or suspected of violating this war when it comes to court cases when these people are going to be tried it's caroline who chooses these judges but it is mainland china who will try the more severe

for its part is saying it's only responding to increased activity by beijing in the region that beijing has been undertaking this under the court cover of the corvette $1000.00 pandemic we have seen beijing being more aggressive incidents with malaysian boards swarming close to philippine claimed islands and on the paracel and spratly islands disputed territory china has also named its own administrative regions in recent months brought and of course the concern is where all this is heading isn't it really seeing this or going back and forth of diplomatic reprisals . that's right the bilateral relationship seems to be in freefall just yesterday we had china's foreign ministry spokesperson watchin yang say that beijing was signing sanctions on 4 u.s. officials including senators ted cruz and marco rubio and that was a reciprocal move in response to sanctions placed earlier by washington on 4 chinese officials including chen 20 or who is one of the most powerful or dominant figures in the chinese communist party he's the number one person in shin john and washington put those sanctions in

itself has said that it is only responding to beijing's actions and we have seen in recent months beijing wrapping up the building of artificial islands incidents with malaysian and filipino votes beijing naming administrative cities in the disputed areas of the spratly and the paracel islands and the u.s. is saying that china has been doing this while the international community has been distracted by the card 900 demick and beijing has flat out denied this so far catrina do stay with me because i want to ask you about another source of tension for beijing at the moment now china is accusing democracy activists and hong kong of trying to launch a revolution it's described campaigning for recent primaries as a serious provocation which may have reached a tough new security law it's imposed on the city more than 600000 people turned out over the weekend to choose candidates for september's legislative elections and hong kong katrina this is a suggestion that over half a 1000000 people could have broken this new law what could happen now. that's right well the chinese government say is that

or get the very latest on the new law and the protests from our correspondents in hong kong and beijing shortly but 1st a dream brown begins our coverage. 23 years after hong kong returned to chinese rule the mainland government has moved swiftly to tighten its control over the city . hours after a sweeping new security law was enacted hong kong and chinese dignitaries attended a ceremony marking the handover anniversary hording exhorting the new law providing the backdrop the chief executive who was sidelined during the drafting of this law said it was timely and necessary yet see a lot for that the enactment of the national law is regarded as the most significant development in the relationship between the central authorities and hong kong since its return to the motherland out to test the new law a small group of protesters who try to march on the venue but were blocked by police. after they called for an end to one party rule one of them said he was aware their actions could now amount to a violation of the law they law enforcement in hong kong what they always do this you are allow

accuse beijing of bullying neighboring countries to control the waters. the top u.s. health agency has a seat guidelines calling for the full reopening of schools and so even as coronavirus infections continue to rise in many areas the centers for disease control says it's safe for children to retire. donald trump's presidential rival has weighed in on that is huge joe biden says mr trump appears unwilling to cross what's really needed to get children back into the classroom. first of all i believe high you know i want to open schools the question is will the president do the work to make it safe you know just ordered schools to open like trump who's done isn't good enough we've got to do the hard work of getting the virus under control now and over the next 2 months and really you're opening now many cases but trump doesn't want to do that hard he just wants to order schools open because he's afraid to be dozens going herder's reelections you ross not about his re-election it's about the safety and security of our children and our geezers in the neighborhoods. israel

elizabeth china but as beijing went into crisis mode that windows closed on february the 4th china's central propaganda department did something few governments could put off. this sent hundreds of reporters into han to cover the government's response chinese political system the media very much kind of mediating between the population and the government in the sense that the media should be the mouthpiece of the government propagating policy to the public so we don't jump to. the assumption is that in a marxist leninist state the media should educate themselves constantly by going to the public to understand what are the issues of the common population so that the media can also reflect to those who are in power change the head and often jazz which is other countries as dangerous as night as well by her and as jane or someone. on the battle. for it have especially focused on the us. senior government officials. who are in chile and really believe that only. the deterioration in bilateral relations on the u.s. side. because we care continue to allow china to raise our country and tha

beijing maintains that the passing of the music. which enormous necessary to prevent the repetition of violent protests that paralyzed hong kong for months but few on the streets of hong kong buy into that narrative some already say they are ready to accept britain's offer to meet there if possible that i do think it could really provide me an opportunity to settle in the u.k. that i do not necessarily have to stay in hong kong or dialogue gives us one more way out which i still go to $100.00 much reapply for the british mission overseas passport 1st and decide whether to stay or leave after details a complaint. but not everyone is to apply for citizenship some people we have to stay in hong kong and learn to live with a new reality. one at the place that's closely watching developments in hong kong is taiwan officially known as the republic of china it's been independent since 1950 a year after the chinese revolution or the communist party to power in beijing china considers taiwan a renegade province while taiwan has been lobbying

nothing the beijing government would do could surprise me. if there is one thing i think americans should be united on it is this. i remember when the agreement , goingned with the u.k. to be two different types of government. one china but two systems. of course the chinese, beijing government is not abiding by that at all. did anybody ever think they would? so let me say that one of the more unanticipated provisions of the national security law's article 38, which states the law applies to persons who are not permanent residents of hong kong and commit crimes under the law outside of hong kong. when combined with beijing's diplomacy,se of -- such as the case of the two impeached canadians, this law could have implications for anyone visiting hong kong, including u.s. persons studying, doing business, or working as government officials or diplomats. how safe should i or any other american feel about visiting hong kong in the future? many are talking about -- ok, ok. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i think i can respond to that. it is true china

when beijing wants to take its message to the world it has a state funded in english language television news channel at its disposal c g t n broadcasting in more than 100 countries reaching 13000000 homes in the u.s. alone c g t and stated aim is to bring the chinese perspective to global news but going global means that your journalism become subject to various local rules and regulations and dirty last year the american government compelled c.t.m. to register as a foreign agent in the us we're going to get the c g t n side of the story now from the so you way he actors the networks flagship talk show dialogue so it's based in beijing but he brings an interesting perspective to the coronavirus story he cut his teeth as a reporter working for will haunt t.v. in his current job he's been known to take the foreign media to task for their coverage of china. sober up call that 19 respects no national mourners no social mounds no political systems and no cultural values. justice are extreme and aggressive these are the words used to describe china's response. now we have come to terms with t

that's right when it comes to beijing and washington there's a new move every day almost it seems beijing's foreign ministry has released a strongly worded statement condemning the administration's move saying that it maliciously slanders the hong kong national security law that the u.s. should stop meddling in china's internal affairs and back away from this act it also goes on to justify this law saying that this is crucial for hong kong security for its stability and prosperity moving forward and that this is something that the hong kong people in the people in china generally want and accept of course that is not the truth on the ground there is a vast disconnect between what the sentiment is in home and in beijing but still chinese authorities have shown no willingness at all to waiver on the slow it seems like this law is here to stay and right now we know that they are contemplating some sort of response some sort of counter measure for the trumpet in this ration again we're waiting on what form that might take but we do know it appears that that will be some sort of sanctions on u.s

beijing in the system of fact only a minority of lawbreakers predicts. political activism is only threats and that's just the 1st step in the now works for an ngo based in hong kong for decades it has been advocating for labor rights across asia hochul has been a popular hub for also soft local and international n.g.o.s but a new law means many are now we considering options there's a lot of them break with saying we don't know do you mean by somehow may be where foreign forces because we have to start from overseas under this law we are required i'm sure like how it will impact even the safety of individuals to our or wallace to rights for us to if we continue to receive for funding we have to somehow p. pair are the worst scenario then we may also consider to move to. other countries. beijing has played down the laws impact saying you merely plans to strengthen the management of n.g.o.s and our organizations in hong kong. even those do it clear how the security law will be implemented activists and efficacious here will have to be where the phrase a ro
