The dangers for tens of thousands of ethiopian migrants and why they cant return home. Anger at the killing of a top soldier the fallout in azerbaijan after new border battles with the media. So china is vowing retaliation after moves by the governments of the United States the United Kingdom on 2 different fronts President Donald Trump has announced sanctions against chinese officials over the new National Security law imposed on hong kong so any executive order to hold beijing accountable hong kong is being stripped of its special trade and economic status and banks that deal with some chinese officials would also face sanctions. The hong kong or tanami act which i signed this afternoon passed unanimously through congress this law gives my administration powerful new tools to hold responsible the individuals and the entities involved in extinguishing hong kongs freedom weve all watch what happened not a good situation their freedoms been taken away their rights have been taken away and where that goes wrong in my opinion because it will no longer be able to compete with free markets well earlier the u. K. Announced it was banning chinese tech giant weiwei from being involved in the development of its new high Speed Mobile Network citing concerns about security or always says the decision was politicized from london is not in burma a u. Turn by the u. K. Government but one it says was driven by practicalities not politics. Announcing the total ban on huawei kitted britains planned 5 g. Network by 2027 the culture minister said u. S. Sanctions blocking quote ways use of american microchips would make the company less reliable in future the best way to secure our networks is for operators to stop using new affected huawei to equipment to build the u. K. s future 5 networks so to be clear from the end of this year Telecoms Operators must not buy any 5 g. Equipment from while away and once the Telecom Security bill is passed it will be illegal for them to do so. The move against way will please washington which has been pressuring the u. K. To act become pretty had expected it its warning u. K. Mobile users will lose out in a statement it says regrettably our future in the u. K. Has become politicized this is about u. S. Trade policy and not security over the past 20 years where he has focused on building a better connected u. K. As a responsible business we will continue to support our customers as we always have done. The British Government hopes the announcement will convince other suppliers to enter the market and fill the gap meanwhile the china skeptics among Boris Johnsons conservative party are largely happy they say National Security must trump worries about an already damaged relationship or relations will hurt strained over home conway china has behaved disgracefully so. Anyone thinking it would was still in a golden era of relations with china is clearly wrong but so be it i think this is the right decision and we should be calm we want to continue trading with continue commercial relations with the chinese but weve got to be firm of the same time its not clear how quickly or how angrily china will react to britains decision to get rid of quote way kit but other countries will be watching carefully as they to deliberate on whether to ban the company. Aljazeera london or in a minute well speak to difficult part and hes standing by for us in hong kong but 1st lets go to beijing and katrina year is right there and katrina say lets start with what way 1st of all big backtrack big reversal by the u. K. On this house that lights go down in china. Well people are not going to be happy about this but still waiting on an official response from beijing theyre likely to condemn this move but we have heard from chinas ambassador to the u. K. And you charmaine who responded in a tweet he said that he was disappointed at what he called this wrong decision and he said it also raised questions about the u. K. s ability to provide a fairer nondiscriminatory environment for foreign entities operating in the u. K. Now this sentiment is largely echoed in wa ways or in statements which they released late. Cheers day responding saying theyre disappointed in this will only serve to put the u. K. On the floor lay when it comes to dick technology but also increase its Digital Divide it says and deprive its consumers of the best and the Newest Technology as well but so far the strongest reaction weve had has been from state media in particular from the global times which is one of the government mouthpieces here and there was a strongly worded toral saying that this is a blow to huawei but china shouldnt worry too much because the u. K. Is one of the weak a links when you consider the different 5 allied countries and its clear that the u. K. Simply caved in to pressure from washington despite despite the message from china chinas government that while they is not related or is not is an independent company from china the global times statement also said that china should retaliate its only right that it retaliates because if not china might send the wrong message that its true easy to bully by other western countries weve seen lots of maneuver in the last 24 hours by donald trump and some of the elsas stripping hong kong with special trade and economic status and also sanctions against chinese officials what about what does china have to serve other. Thats right in recent months or seems not to be a day where we dont see some sort of move on a counter move from washington and beijing china so far has released a strongly worded statement from the Foreign Ministry responding to this saying they condemned the act by the u. S. Saying that its maliciously slandering this hong kong National Security or that the u. S. Should stop meddling in chinas internal affairs and pull back from this move then went on to justify this law saying that its this is crucial for hong kong stability its security and this is something that the hong kong people and the Chinese People want. Demonstrating a disconnect between beijing and much of the sentiment in hong kong but still beijing is determined to go forth with this is not wavering at all on this law it seems that this law is here to stay and that they ging authorities are also contemplating some sort of Counter Measure we dont know exactly what form that might take but so far we nor that it involved some sort of sanctions against u. S. Officials or personnel or a katrina thats the view in beijing pressure that thank you lets get the view in hong kong if we could palm is standing by removing Hong Kong Special trade in economic status what does it actually mean. Well people in hong kong have not had time to digest this it was in the works for many weeks but since trump signed that deal it has become reality and theres a general sense that hong kong is being caught between these 2 economic giants and analysts have backed that sentiment saying hong kong is often being used as a pawn and then trysts of u. S. And china instead of its true well being really being considered here but it is worth noting that the move this human rights and democracy act along with these latest economic moves were spearheaded by the hong kong protesters who had gone to the u. S. To ask for some kind of accountability from beijing in the how hong kongs autonomy and freedoms were being eroded so this was something that many of the protesters had actually called for now if you look at the impact in economic terms if you ask hong kongs chief financial secretary hell say it not much and the u. S. Has more to lose than hong kong the us and numbers wise well it may very well have more to lose in the sense that hong kong is the u. S. As big as bilateral trade partner in a single economy and the u. S. Has that at stake but as far as other companies here go many of them have already been making contingency plans also with the sense of hong kongs Business Environment hong kong is no longer that special place where the employees and perhaps Company Operations will be in chile to from rules across the border in china or crossing that line so as far as Business Environment goes and confidence goes that is definitely at risk and how that translates on the ground will be what will have to figure out next right exactly where you have to wonder how people are feeling because you have the saudis will change their existence there what about the rights and freedoms. Absolutely nec and that has been the question since china imposed that National Security law on hong kong unilaterally without consultation with the Hong Kong Government or the people of hong kong that laws now just have to be undermining the rights and freedoms of people including allowing opening up a pot to extradition of people in hong kong not just residents but any foreigner that is on hong kong in hong kong to be extradited to china to Mainland China and face the courts and that is causing a lot of worries now that National Security law has already been used once against a protestors to whos accused of assaulting a Police Officer joining a protest were still waiting for results of that trial but prior to it we have seen so many moves against the prodemocracy camp including arrests for in fact even one today arrest for taking part in protests of last year seeing the concrete effects of that law that has materialized yet but what were hearing is a lot of hearsay not only from people on the ground over their fears and concerns but also from government officials both here and in beijing saying this could violate that law or that could violate that law and Media Companies of course are also worried and as of today the New York Times has announced that theyre going to be moving 30 percent of its staff was one of their asia pacific hubs they will be moving them to seoul and there is concern that not only Media Companies could follow suit but many other companies and people who work here.
