Its the 1st time the launch group of demonstrators takes aim at property of the central Chinese Government since the widespread protests began last month thats the talk or a spawn and in Hong Kong Rog Mcbride as we continue to watch these live pictures rob tell us about whats happening the mood seems to have changed. Or got surly programmer to go out for good or to live there a few episodes 5 are there there has been this clear as awful as it got i just dropped back from the. Front line of the program. Police just like that might knock knock knock knock for. Back up the phone 1 1 to come on the beat prepared not that we think we are going to be. Measured in number of trying to bring out the record to be close to the protests back to you but you that the protests went through of i did in a place called one gigantic truck with a few kilometers from where around that youve been that about because they were very very protests that they carried on over why. So the question is if im going to i was in fact to chinas Liaison Officer the. The most prominent scientists that chinas influence here it is that sometimes talking to children protesters say surrounded the building actually a link to clearing the way there was a couple tension between holy. Shield to push the church just the fact also some. Right life shied in that direction then there was a standoff but it seems as though thats the better 9 part of a number of projectiles started to get strode across the true test is towards the police we cant tell you exactly why. But at that point the police did seem to take that as. They started it had had enough but they were going to clear the streets let me so a lot of the take i think we also understand there have been a pretty. Seedy. Projectiles if they could have i think 5 we. Have a question of whether you were actually fired the police simply taking a concerted effort to try people on the street people have been holding back they are making barricades to say because there are still thousands on the street here some of them urging. Just pull back to the area or central which is where the government offices others are saying stand for children 5 ok can you see if you can id the picture is Pretty Amazing the content we can see to hong kong right now lost to gas 7 weeks ok now rob how much pressure is this putting on the government that the chief executive carol lam. Well the government is pretty much hunkered down very very have carried out pretty much cancelled all hurricane weeks now she pretty much stays we speak to their government offices and their official. President she will no doubt be in Constant Contact with their aging officials just about how 1 this is being handled on this hand over many things people political analysts believe and i think some governments to post this suggests that she has this mishandled that she is under a lot of pressure also the police. Increasing pressure that the protesters. The police abuse Excessive Force in breaking up a largely peaceful demonstration say have activated the situation but they are you do feel a certain amount of sympathy for this police force which the city used 9 as a Political Tool almost they are caught in the middle of this political wrangle that seems to find no solution and the consequence is that they are on the receiving end simply by the violent clashes like this the protests earlier targeted Chinas Liaison Office in beijing how significant is that and how might beijing react. Protests continue and if there is violence as weve seen in the past. I think kerry going to be careful. With the chinese we as an office here is yes we we dont see a person obviously in thailand 5. Seeing that the there is and i think there was during the last major aggressed on how congress treats up the Umbrella Group of 5 years ago it was quite generally accepted that there was a threat to china to face it really like you were being lost if buildings were being bought at that point it really did not need the Hong Kong Police to control things they have to send in the Peoples Liberation army that seems to be the sort of read 1 the china. Statement has to be said with still a long way from that at the moment but china will be watching presumably closely a very difficult to see china allowing the whole concept of a tax cut 6. Id even if they dont come to that date back down were going to carry im going to die now if were talking about fargo that just through withdrawal of this extradition bell its almost like the genie is out of the bottle let people have started talking to going about the old issues of why cant we have democracy here with universal suffrage why cant we elect our leaders are not being someone appointed by doing so even if he. Did acquiesce to leak over to the protesters which didnt jump likely in any case at this point its difficult to see how its going to wait your turn to a t v. Thank you for that rob mcbride on the line from hong kong we continue to follow developments there and well bring you the latest when we have it thank you very much from. A negotiation between the u. S. And china to end a year long trade war may resume so enough to donald trump says said his treasury secretary had a great talk with this chinese counterpart this comes as china confronts its biggest no don in Economic Growth in nearly 3 decades wayne hay has more on how this one affects the communist partys future policies. With thousands of years people in china have been gathering around tables trying to outsmart each other in the game of mahjong its increasingly caught on around other parts of the will to a source of pride for experts in the game to teach foreigners visiting the Chinese Capital beijing this game bring people together you know during this game its enough to waning but if a player does want to win they need to strategize something Chinas Communist Party has done very well to survive and succeed in the late 1970 s. The party changed its strategy of isolation to modernization by opening up to the outside world. By embracing capitalist ideals of business and trade china became the factory of the world with the 2nd largest economy behind its current trade war enemy the United States but economically china is slowing down recording its lowest quarterly growth in 27 years and the world is watching what happens next the great wall of china was built primarily to keep invaders out the greatest fear of todays rule is the communist party is of domestic political instability which could lead to their overthrow thats why they know they need to continue to reform and develop the economy to ensure most people have jobs and an opportunity to improve their lives the theory being that as long as its delivering those things it can run the country largely the way it wants continuing to restrict free speech and stamp out disinter long the way. If the economy becomes stronger the party has a last incentive to change it will only change we did feel its roots challenged in the opening and the reform process only happened because the economy was collapsing if the economy grows there will think the model is successful with more than one. And its been able to use that model to become an economic superpower while rejecting scrutiny of things like alleged human rights abuses most recently the government denounced 22 nations for signing a letter condemning china for the detention of we get muslims in shin jang province but it embraced a supporter of letter signed by 37. 00 countries including several muslim majority nations that have large economic deals with china. But many chinese believe theres a lack of understanding about this country and its people which leads to what they say is unfair treatment by others particularly the United States they refuse it itll look at another country the refused to look at another perspective so they only hear what they want to hear chinas strategy is to be a modern powerful socialist country its proved its a serious player and in some cases is rewriting the rules of the game like wayne hay al jazeera beijing phantom or head on this aljazeera news hour including ukrainians go to the polls in a snap parliamentary election in what is seen as a test for the newly elected president. 3. 014.
