over hong kong angry and also beijing will not do that because if beijing this backing down then it means that the protests with scene which has turned. violent recently that means that works so it will happen that beijing will back down let me ask you a little bit more about kerry lambswool because kerry lamb of course is the conduit for beijing even in hong kong so on monday interestingly enough leaders of the main prob aging party were televised bowing collectively in a public apology a probe ageing labor federation blamed kerry lamb for their group's losses in the election that sounds like she is deeply discredited on both sides both visa v. hong kong citizens but also these of the beijing itself so what would you expect to be her fate going forward i think her fate to be going forward will be it will be a very difficult situation for her because you've already framed a very good she's in a position where she doesn't get support from any parties. not from the pro-democracy side not from camp and not from beijing as well of course beijing says they will support her but she has to

course beijing says they will support her but she has to listen to kerry live has to listen to beijing and that's making her very difficult to stay in her role actually so question do you glacier are there credible alternatives to carry lab bearing in mind that her term as as far as i know only goes until 2022 is that correct and in fact these district councils they do not really have much say in larger politics but there is a committee on which members are represented that will have a say in the next chief executive so my question to you would be are there credible alternatives to kerry lim who perhaps could find a middle path that she hasn't found i haven't seen any credible political figures in hong kong that would be able to resolve the political turmoil because this political turmoil not only this 6 months but also that those before the smaller scale for example the umbrella revolution or the ones before these are saying this is signaling there's something very wrong with the system fundamentally there's something wrong with one country 2 systems even because that was supposed to

you have a major problem with beijing. the surveys i point to suggest that hong kong is one of the gloomiest populations in the world today. do you share that gloominess? are you fearful for your territory? if the current situation does not stop, if it continues for another half—year, then indeed hong kong's economic prospect is really in trouble. at the moment, we are in technical recession and we have negative growth over the two quarters but if we are able to find the way out to ease tensions, so that people can begin to have more trust in working together, i think the fundamentals of hong kong, whether in terms of the economy or the community spirit, i think we are able to do it quite easily but the important thing is, we need to have some trust, some confidence in each other in the future. anthony cheung, we have to end there but i thank you very much forjoining me on hardtalk from hong kong. 00:25:08,164 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 thank you. hello there. parts of england and wales look extremely wet with localised fl

people are worried about the intentions of beijing. i go back to what i think is the fundamental point, we do not need to seek conflict with them. we don't even need to contain china. we need to make sure that china does not become a power that dominates the region in the international system. achievableoable and goal and i think we should see it as part of a broader foreign policy that seeks to prevent hegemony. but it is hard work and we are in for a long struggle. >> i want to ask you about your trip and a minute, but to connect this back to the political resonance, in the beginning you critiqued the universalist project, we're going to help make the world, care about everything no matter where. american middle-class and you have been very articulate on what is going on in hong kong, why should we care about what is happening? whether they are democratic or not, does it affect the average middle-class person in the united states? sen. hawley: great question. is indicativeong of what beijing is capable of and what they want to do to

is that ultimately the strategy in beijing? no, not at all. we' re not interested in replacing anyone, to challenge anyone. you know, we're still a developing country. although we are are the second—largest economy, per capita income, we are behind. we earn just less than $10,000 us a year. this is my third ambassadorship. after egypt, i was incumbent to one of the poorest provinces in china. gaanxu. it's a wild west. the people didn't have access to drinkable water. they had to build themselves to catch rain, then to purify it, then both human beings and livestock have to depend on this water. it is a challenge, how to feed the chinese population, how to make chinese people living happier, living longer. we are not... and china, for its foreign policy, we want peaceful development. deng xiaoping said china's strategy was hide the strength, bide your time, never take the lead. that clearly is not the strategy of xi jinping. peaceful development is still our strategy, because we benefit. people talk about the ao—year miracle in china. we ca

result that beijing was expecting hence the mere silence right andrew so it's obviously taking beijing some time to formulate a response is there any. any chance that in that response eventually will be a commitment to at least revisit those 5 core demands that are coming from the protesters in hong kong one of which of course is universal suffrage which we presume they will have no truck with not say we've been talking about this now haven't wait for a few weeks will this event all this demonstration all this change the way that beijing sees the situation in in hong kong and so far it has changed virtually nothing with the exception of course of the formal dropping of those controversial extradition laws that started all of this off again the one thing we can say out of this press conference that ended just about 20 minutes ago now is that support for carolina still on a critical of course her resignation is one of the demands of the protesters and you would think in some ways that these election results would add some balance to that nothing on that though a nothing yet on changing b

that beijing will change?” you optimistic that would happen? that beijing will change? i think it is always a difficult battle and evenif is always a difficult battle and even if we can have a landslide win in the district council, we don't know, but beijing's first priority is power. it is difficult to ask them to do something that could open them to do something that could open them up and have checks and balances on them and this is what hong kong people want. it is an uphill battle and we still hang on and do anything we can do to send a message to the international community and to the beijing's government. britain were signed up as the joint guarantor of the one country two systems. what do you think a british engagement on this at governance level? has there been enough pressure applied by london to beijing? well, of course we feel like britain has an obligation to the one country to system agreement because of the occupation, but we feel they should be more vocal engagement from the british cup and on current issues in hong kong. there is always more things to d

beijing has been on premises. in the declaration of 1984, the cost hong kong a high degree of autonomy for 50 years under the one country to systems. they changed, since the handover, the return of income to china that occurred in july 1997 since that time, china has encroached on those freedoms and taken away that autonomy. china's attempt to prematurely seize control of hong kong therefore is the direct and primary cause of the marches, protests and the services we have seen since april, especially since middle june. the immediate grievance was the expedition bill proposed by carriage them, the hong kong chief executive, the chief political official in hong kong. this bill would allow hong kong to send fugitives to the people's republic where there is no rule of law there is no justice. this opposition, the so-called different forces but also was supposed by the business community. it was concerned that hong kong would build clever feats of refuge, they would be subject to the predatory chinese business partners

basic liberties that beijing has already promised them. this isn't a separatist movement this isn't a movement seeking change in the status quo they just want a return to the status quo it's beijing that's trying to change just like beijing is trying to dominate the whole region. >> do you want sanctions to be put in place and i'm asking you this because i'm thinking about sort of the worst-case scenarios that could happen and could the ultimate loser be hong kong in the end if it becomes no longer a conduit for finance into china if it's no longer a free-trade zone, that effectively is the demise of hong kong as we know it. >> well, beijing is already ruining hong kong as we know it. the city is in recession it has been for months that's entirely because of beijing's policies it's because of the violent crackdown that beijing has been pushing in that city for literally months now so i don't think that anything that the u.s. senate has done, congress is about to do, is going to worsen the status of the city that's on beijing. i think it is

that's exactly what beijing has done with the corporate sector in their own country. and we cannot allow them to do that with that. >> i'm curious what you're hearing from your constituents back home. there was some of us who were in kansas city a few months ago. we didn't even across the state line. one of the things that were stuck by when we meet with representatives of the farmers out there who could not sell their soybeans to china, and this is a few months ago. it was striking to me that they were not clambering for the trouble to go away. it was actually a sense that this was a piece of a much bigger issue and that they were going to play their part in making some short term pains. when you talk to your constituents, are people worried about china beyond economics, are they worried about neoliberalism, the geographic domination, how do they square this with their other concerns about terrorism and everything else? >> this is an issue i think a normal, everyday working americans have had a sense of this and understanding of this, as i said in my remarks of where

what beijing is aiming for. and they've been very clear about this is regional domination and beyond that access and influence. if not control of the international system. i would say to the american companies you have to draw the line. it's fine to do business with china. we need access to that region into their markets. but what you must not do is allow beijing to start make you an arm of their government. that's exactly what beijing has done with the corporate sector and their own country. and we cannot allow them to do that with that sector. there were some of us in kansas city a few months ago. and one of the things that i was struck by was when we met with the representatives of the farmers out there. they could not sell their soybeans to china. it was striking to me that they were not clamoring for make all this trouble go away. it was a sense that this was a piece of a much bigger issue and they were to play their part and there may be some short-term pain associated with that. when you talk to your cons

beijing to swallow. making any concessions to courage the protesters to believe they are gaining ground would be a difficult thing for beijing to accept. their strategy up until now appears to be to set this out. nobody thought these protests would last this long. they are clearly damaging the economy of hong kong, people are very distressed but as far as beige and concerned there is nothing else they are willing to do. if beijing will not budge, the government of hong kong will not budge either. it is anyone's guess as to what happens after this election, even if the government does spectacularly badly, we can't see quite how the hong kong government was not making concessions. if they don't, what we will inevitably see is the pure test restarting in some form as they have been able to do in the past five and half months —— the protests restarting. let's take a look at the scene in hong kong right now. it is calm, quiet. it was much busier earlier in the day. the most important thing is there has be

well, it remains to be seen what beijing will react to this. certainly they won't like the result, but unfortunately thatis like the result, but unfortunately that is the way it is. and certainly we have these trade deals going on around the corner. so perhaps beijing will be watching very keen eyes to see happens between the us and negotiators before they take any other moves. to a great extent, hong kongers have spoken. they turned up in record numbers at this ballot box. they are local district council elections, nonetheless, so really the lowest rung of government. so in terms of making a difference, though, this is really a symbolic message, isn't it? well, yes and no. imean, the message, isn't it? well, yes and no. i mean, the district council has come out with resources, financially, so that will help to put them on a very good platform for next yea r‘s put them on a very good platform for next year's legco election. and at the same time he probably know that in hong kong the elections of the chief executive, if not also the legco, wil
