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

is imposing the people's republic of china's mineral system people's republic of china's mineral syste m o nto people's republic 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 kon

policy regarding peoples republic of china. i originally defaulting back in march, however, our need to focus on the community protests from doing that. it is important this committee continue its work on its most committing foreign policy challenges, obviously china is one of those. as a complete mistrust correctly recognized,, china is a strategic in global competitor of the united states. it would be the greatest foreign policy challenge the united states faces in decades to come. policies of the chinese communist party undermine u.s. interests and values, as we share with partners around the world. covid-19 has brought this challenge the fork front of american life. we now know just how much the chinese communist party's decisions and actions directly affect u.s. citizens, our allies and partners in the entire world and we know not even a global pandemic will stop china's aggressive behavior, whether that's in hong kong, the south china sea, or the indian border. over the last three years the trump administration has taken

and frankly, neither does the people's republic of china. there are several areas that highlight in my testimony. unless there are areas of cooperation between us. by 16 page testimony can be [applause] by one third and in doing so, we had remove the litany of the issues you raised in many of them, it is a long list and a formidable challenge. a generational challenge that we face in china. in smaller areas of cooperation that i've highlighted. we have an enormous task ahead of us. >> while i agree. and the challenge is only growing every day as i see it. and that's the reason i ask about the positive lines of communications that we do have open. it's important to have that. and i believe with regards to the technology and invasion the where finally waking up as a country. i think that we typically to the point the finger at china when effect we need to get our own house in order. and what is not to be naÏve about the with the chinese have been up to. and this is really behind it. and their relationship with their own universities and resea

the light coming out of the people's republic of china and the lie propagated by the world health organization. dialer back to december 31st, 2019, a date that will go down in history where a viral pneumonia is first being reported out of china. well, the chinese government is supposed to inform the world health organization about that, right? the timeline that the w.h.o. has on the website reflected that, that they were informed by the people's republic of china, by the chinese government and health officials. the problem is that that didn't actually happen. and flash forward. in late january, ted rose, head of the w.h.o., wasn't meeting with chairman she of china and he was praising his commitment and leadership and he said famously, this man, chairman she, has bought the world time in the fight against covid-19, coronavirus, bought the world time, those words will be remembered. meanwhile, there was no transparency going on, and the world health organization was actually working together with the people's republic of china. the head of communicable diseases at the w.h.o., dr. wren, who actu

deal with on behalf of $53.00 countries cuba welcome to the law of the people's republic of china on safeguarding national security in hong kong at the session of the united nations human rights council the belief that the law will have to sustain and steady implementation of one country 2 systems. a principle within which a high degree of autonomy was supposed to be guaranteed in hong kong for at least 50 years when britain handed back its former colony to china in 1997 the new law is a flagrant breach of the agreement says the city's last u.k. government. very. together starting a new code war with china just making it clear that we will call out china. the u.k. now says it would uphold its historic duty and offer a route for up to 3000000 residents to settle in the country that could make citizenship possible of this national security across the atlantic the u.s. has punitively revoked home costs special financial and business status washington says it's not only concerned about the safety of hong kong s. but also those of americans. article $38.00 of the new law also purports to

the people's 2147483051:41:48,834 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 republic of china. staying with you, staying with the us, and calculations from the around the world and calculations within the us, we need then 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 all of the poll averages give him almost ten points margin on trump. he is ahead in the key swing states by anywhere from 6%—10%. sometimes even higher. biden, at this moment, if the elections were held things would change so let's be clear on that. a biden presidency would be more stable, it would be a much clearly more empathetic. and biden spent his career, his first four years as vice presi

of china? >> if you claim you care about human rights and social justice or these things and make that point it's what they are doing in certain parts of the country that is taking place. every business leader has got to make decisions for themselves and they have to live with the decisions they make i would simply ask this. if you have an entity in the government they were to tell you you could do something but particular symbol in a movie or a particular name on your menu to limit you in that way has got to be difficult to go home at night. two more questions, mr. secretary, because it is hot and warm this might be tough for you but they are like athens was a naval power and china is a land power. to bdo we not have to change hoe approach the defense has been in to put more emphasis on the naval resources than on our army resources? >> i will leave the details of this, but i can -- here is what i can say. when he sent out national the nl security strategy early on in the administration for th

of china? >> here is our ask. if you claim you care about human rights, if you make that part of the corporate theology you ought to be consistent if you are operating in china if you are not talking about acknowledging what the chinese communist party is doing in certain parts of their country, every business leader has to make decisions for themselves, got to live with the decisions they make, you highlighted a few. i simply ask this. if you run an entity of the united states government told you you couldn't do something, put a particular symbol in your movie or a particular name on your menu. if we were to tell you that you would say that's not appropriate and it would not be appropriate. it seems to me if you permit the chinese commonest party to limit you in that way has got to be difficult for you to go home at night. [applause] >> another question mister secretary because it is hot and warm and everyone has been in the sun for a while. you are a west point graduate so this might be tough

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 for international sanctions against beijing we asked the taiwanese representative in germany if that was realistic look what's the american history on their caps since and they're going to put strain on the sections and they are trying to it's confront it was a big problem and if the european countries do the same seem to get that we see not always the trump but also with the u.s. where you see japan australia in short we see the water of freedom then chinese the chinese government there be confined it would be scared to own that's the only way only talking and warning won't help. now see some of the stories making news around the world in ethiopia the murder scene and known as a child who has been seen abrasive at a crowded funeral that was broadcast on live television 2 days of protests in the wake of these killings so at least 80 people die many of the protesters blamed security forces hav

apparently owns it with the people's republic of china? and what do you plan to do about it? >> i think that picks up right where i was talking about the 5g clean program. if you look at apps like tick-tock, we chat, if you look at the cloud providers. if you look at drones. if you look at underwater cable. it's all part of that nervous system of china's surveillance of base. and that is why we are preparing plans now, not just to clean network site, the 5g side, but the entire system. and i could not agree with you more. what these are our appendages. too that surveillance state. so you know, what i think if you are going to see a similar campaign to what we did with 5g. and i just could not agree with you more, senator. so i appreciate that. i think that support is very meaningful. and i hope you will take that view to the. department of justice. because if the administration is really going to put its money where its mouth is so to speak, an investigation by the foreign justice has to begin right away. it has to be swift, sure, fair. th

cold war with the people's republic of china. your thoughts. >> lou, this speech that secretary pompeo gave at the nixon library, ironically, is the best and most important speech the secretary has given as secretary of state. and it tells you everything you need to know about this administration. you have to go back to 2017 when president trump first became president, his national security team came together, they published a national security strategy that named a great power competition with china and said we need to pivot away from the wars in the middle east and focus on great power competition with china. now fast forward to the pompeo speech yesterday calling for the rest of the free world to join the united states of america in that cause because now, if we don't do something about this now, the time has run out to ever do something about it. this new cold war -- [inaudible] lou: let's look at what this administration is doing. the president has ordered two aircraft carrier groups into the south china sea. this president

he went to the people of the republic of china in 1972 to try and ally and combine interest with them against the soviet union and it was successful. does russia present an opportunity to the united states to coax them into the battle to be relentlessly candid about the chinese communist party? >> i do think there is that opportunity. that opportunity is borne of the relationship, the natural relationship between russia and china. we can do something as well. there are places where we need to work with russia. today, tomorrow, our team is on the ground to work on strategic dialog to create a next generation of arms agreements like reagan did. it is in our interest, russia's interest. we asked the chinese to participate. they've declined to date. we hope they will change their minds. it is these kinds of things, these proliferation issues, big strategic challenges that if we worked alongside russia, i am convinced we can make the world safe. i think there is a place for us to work to win the russians to achieve a more likely up outcome of peace. not only for the united states, but for
