The democrat controlled house of representatives impeached President Trump for his dealings with ukraine ruling that hed withheld aid to leverage information about his political opponent Joe Biden John Bolton refused an invitation to testify before the house but now alleges that this action was typical of President Trumps dealing with a number of countries and he criticizes the house for limiting its investigation to ukraine had they taken the time to inquire more systematically about trumps behavior across its entire Foreign Policy john bolton writes the impeachment outcome would have been different in published excerpts from his book bolton alleges that President Trumps all favors from foreign leaders like taylor over one of turkey and in particular president xi of china bolton recounts president comes conversation when he met the chinese president in a saga on the 29th of june last year trump then stunningly turned the conversation to the coming u.

China pursues a principle of noninterference in others internal affairs we have no intention to interfere in u. S. Internal affairs or a mere election. Bill schneider is a professor of Public Policy at George Mason University he says its too late for trying to contain the fallout from the new book. Whatever this is going to happen its to me the book is already out there its not in stores yet but its been sent to Media Outlets like to be york times reviews have been published more reviews are coming its too late you cant kill a book like this my take on it is that its shocking its not anything dramatically new but what it really demonstrates is john boltons argument that donald trump is motivated primarily by his personal interest in everything right now that means his personal interest in getting reelected he seems to be putting his personal interest ahead of the National Interest or at least defining the National Interest and his personal political interest as one in the same that is a very damaging charge and its actually a scandalous charge some people would call it reasonable charge but its a very strong charge part of it is trumps shocking unfamiliarity with some of the basic facts about International Affairs he wonders whether he asked that one point old reports whether finland is actually a part of russia he doesnt know he seems to be surprised that Great Britain is a Nuclear Power he didnt seem to know that there are many occasions there where his lack of knowledge is really quite surprising he also does some embarrassing things like he presses people to deliver a gift an elton john musical cd of a song call rocket man he asks people to deliver that to the leader of north korea who he likes to call rocket man i mean the whole thing is a bit embarrassing. Bolton also says President Trump told chinas leaders using thing that he approved of beijings repression of muslim weak it sent other minorities while publicly condemning the mass detentions and early on wednesday trump signed into law and acts that calls for sanctions against chinese officials who are involved the United Nations says up to a minion week have been detained in camps chinas government says the fed has provide vocational training. Beijing has reacted with anger the chinese Foreign Ministry says china will resolutely back the u. S. Will bear the burden of all subsequent consequences katrina here joins us now live from beijing so katrina the chinese are not happy about this. No not at all and now 4 different arms of the Chinese Government has have responded to the passing of this bill firing back at the us reflecting a strongly worded statement by Chinas Foreign Ministry which says that the us is violating International Law attacking china policy and also interfering in chinas internal affairs now it was a very strongly worded statement that they released and the main gist that is saying that china believes that these are not issues of human rights or racial or religious discrimination but china says that these are issues of terrorism and National Security and therefore the state has every right to impose these kind of policies now beijing of course is referring to a number of incidents and attacks that took place. Up until 3 years ago and the Chinese Government has been accused because of this of importing several policies that really discriminate or try to eliminate some of the religion and the culture of the we go new Muslim Population of the North Western province including holding up to 1000000 say the United Nations in detention camps against their will now beijing denies this saying that they have occasional Training Centers but they have been many other policies that are applied. That are not applied elsewhere in the country including some very intense surveillance policies and different measures now beijing has said that if the u. S. Does not pull back from this law it will suffer some countermeasures and consequences though it hasnt specified yet what those might be certainly this war does. Enormously strained tensions between the 2 governments washington in beijing already disagree on a variety of issues recently the National Security law in hong kong being among them as well as issues around the handling of the chrono Virus Outbreak and taiwan now these were all topics that were discussed between u. S. Secretary of state and chinas top diplomat young sure during the meeting the. That meeting was described as constructive by both sides but still we havent had any real indication from either side that that meeting was able to improve relations between the 2 countries as yet.

Plan to take a look. At. It. And this is. Well used to play that off on us all because i think trying to cause us to work what 7 schools in the mouth of National Security strategy was to us when we naming a plane in washington as is. That i think china has a little. Once to talk a little plan of running was exactly what we will or should. We were friends with a lever i think is also a very pragmatic and was letting you know why the wall meaning that i think this is where western media and went over it was. The choice of things and or. Is weve always said of the off situation in that there are elements of his that will spray some more in october trial i think you know much more pragmatic the more interesting to watch all the movies that. I could be panicked that actually. All this plan is doing in singles actually the right things on all channels and so there is an element of i will see whats in the certainly what i think they think what the administration with thinks and what the polls. Chinas top Decision Making body the National Peoples congress has passed the draft of a National Security legislation for hong kong the legislation has been strongly criticized g 7 Foreign Ministers calling on beijing to reconsider the proposed law finance and of the legislation in may lead to renewed protests in hong kong she said and they did say they have grave concerns the proposed law would threaten hong kongs freedoms. Long reboot the hong kong is a very important partner for our country with close economic relations and personal exchanges japans position is consistent this is important to maintain a free and open system under the one country 2 systems principle and to develop in a stable democratic manner. Lets go live now to adrian brown who is standing by for us in hong kong so adrian. Chiles National Peoples congress has passed this draft this all seems to be moving very quickly. Thats right the Standing Committee of the National Peoples congress which is the highest most powerful legislative body in china has been reviewing this National Legislation for Hong Kong Security legislation they began that on thursday morning in fact up until wednesday this wasnt even included on the agenda it was inserted it seems right at the last moment is china in a hurry well yes or no we have elections here in hong kong in september and i think this new security legislation enables china to in a sense create the conditions that would make it possible to despise our candidates the China Hong Kong government deemed to be disloyal as to when this will become law well an obvious state is july the 1st thats Chinas National Day just a few weeks off from now a lot has been happening today to do with this not proposed law or the law thats going to happen earlier on might pompei of the u. S. Secretary of state met with chinas top diplomat in hawaii and after that meeting young g. She made it quite plain that he wanted the United States to stop in his words interfering in hong kong as well as Taiwan Affairs he also said that the United States had to trust chinas position with a problem is the United States as well as the Foreign Ministers of the g 7 nations do not trust china on this they are calling on china to rethink this move to impose this law on hong kong so there is in many ways now International Pressure mounting on china but i think china will simply deflect that pressure away it is intent on ensuring that this new security legislation is imposed on hong kong as soon as possible and weve been hearing actually from someone who is hong kongs only delegate to the Standing Committee of the National Peoples congress and he said on wednesday that in fact it would be possible for a hong kong suspect to be sent to the.
