Japan as the u. S. Military is accused of not doing enough to contain a corona Virus Outbreak at its bases. Across the surveillance operation in colombia that journalists say is a threat to democracy. China is valid in retaliation after moves by the governments of the u. S. And the u. K. On 2 different fronts President Donald Trump has announced sanctions against chinese officials over the new National Security law imposed on hong kong signing an executive order to hold beijing accountable china now says it will impose sanctions of its own. Joan phones dont to to be able to up hold our legitimate interests in china will make the necessary responses to sanction the relevant personnel and entities of the us side were just the us to correct their mistakes and to not implement this act and stop interfering in chinas internal affairs if the u. S. Insists on going down the wrong path china will definitely hit back hong kong is being stripped of its special trade and economic status and banks that deal with some chinese officials will also face sanctions the hong kong or tanami act which has signed this afternoon passed unanimously through congress this law gives my administration powerful new tools to hold responsible the individuals in 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 with it goes on going in my opinion because it will no longer be able to compete with free markets and had the u. K. Announced it was banning chinese tech giant huawei from being involved in the development of its new high speed my bomb that were exciting concerns about security well we can speak now to katrina our correspondent she joins us from beijing katrina i want to start with huawei because this is really quite the reversal here whats beijing had to say about. Well we just heard from quaternion who is Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson she had quite strong was she said that the u. K. Was cool looting with the u. S. To oppress Chinese Companies she also said that this was an act of discrimination against Chinese Companies that the u. K. Is failing to lord to uphold its commitment to china and to huawei and also said that this is in effect destroying or damaging the relationship between london and they joining and the u. K. Government should listen to the voices in the u. K. Business community who are against this move because it will be british businesses and the british people alternately who will suffer from this now she was also also she agrees with the global times editorial which is the state media newspaper here which quite strongly attacked the u. K. Saying that the u. K. Was a weak link when it came to the different 5 eyes allied countries and saying that china should not worry too much although this is a blow but it also mentioned that china should retaliate strongly because otherwise it would send the wrong message that other countries can go ahead and bully china now there was no would have specific retaliation from quaternion but she didnt mention that chinese businesses who do trade or investment with the u. K. Should reconsider doing business because of the risky environment over there lets have a listen to more of what watching you had to say and that. Usually this is about the u. K. At all costs politicizing commercial and Technology Issues this is about china facing major threats in its investment security in the u. K. And its about our confidence in whether the u. K. Markets can remain open fair and nondiscriminatory so we will comprehensively and seriously evaluate this and will take all necessary measures to safeguard our companies interests and rights and katrina as weve been saying a dramatic but not unexpected escalation when it comes to tensions with the u. S. Over hong kong what else is beijing threatening here. Thats right this diplomatic relationship with washington seems to be in freefall quaternion took aim at the u. S. As well and she said she course that if the u. S. Really wants to stir up trouble let the storm rage with grace of force or it seems like the beijing government is not going to back down when it comes to any maneuverable move from the u. S. She said that the u. S. Was a troublemaker and she called its unilateral sanctions pathetic and then she went on to reflect an earlier statement from Chinas Foreign Ministry saying that the u. S. Was in effect slandering this hong kong National Security law that it should stop meddling in chinas internal affairs that should step back from this because this is what china wants of china believes is good for hong kong its good for its spera t. Its stability and this is what is welcomed and accepted by the hong kong people of course the disconnect that not all hong kong believe that at all but then she went on to repeat the stance that this is not going to affect the majority of businesses a law abiding people in hong kong that this will only impact the troublemakers then she said also that china is not going to stand for this that it is going to take its own Counter Measures in the form of sanctions against u. S. Officials and press now although we havent been provided with any details as to what shape those will take as yet katrina you there in the Chinese Capital beijing for us thank you very much katrina well speaking of divergent views lets now get the view from hong kong devika poland joins us from there i want to talk about this special status talk us through what the removal of that actually means and were already starting to see an exodus of businesses. Indeed but much of the that accidents that we have seen so far has to do with that National Security law that was imposed by beijing on july 1st without any consultation with Hong Kong Government or hong kong people but i need to say that the main reason that this current move was made by the us is because of that National Security law again i have to catch me at it by saying that this move by the us for the human rights and democracy act and true strip hong kong of that special status was the law before and spearheaded by hong kongs protesters including joshua long and many of the prodemocracy camp so this is seen as a result of a hong kongs prodemocracy camp calling for more accountability to people in beijing and hong kong officials who are seen as not to or violating hong kongs Autonomous System and stripping hong kong for their of its rights and freedoms as far as impact goes so far an analyst says there will be some kind of an Economic Impact although Many Companies had already factored that in due to the fact that this had been weeks in the making until President Trump signed it today but according to hong kong a financial secretary to the u. S. That has more to lose hong kong is the u. S. His biggest trading surplus partner in a single economy which means that the u. S. Will be on the back foot when it comes to trade with hong kong after this particularly if American Companies pull out but hong kong too is concerned due to the fact that this will affect Business Confidence and theres basically confidence in the political environment so Companies Like the New York Times has already said today itself that it is going to pull out a large number of its staff and move over to seoul and theres concern many other Media Companies would follow suit and other International Companies will also consider thinking about this and they prodemocracy can push for this we have been hearing from them over the last hour or so what if they had to say today. Thats right joshua long and many proponents of the prodemocracy camp and i have to say that it is mostly the younger democracy candidates the protesters from last year all held a press conference on the back of this primary elections that were held over this weekend which had a remarkable turnout of around 600000 people what the democracy camp and democracy activists were hoping to do is consolidate their support base by asking the people to choose who would best represent them in the Legislative Council elections in september and as it turns out the result was that those younger younger candidates those that were involved in last years protests and perhaps those that are more radical are the ones who seem to have gotten the most support and joshua won did speak and i give a press conference saying that this is definitely a sign and a message to beijing that the younger demo democracy camp will not stand down in the face of threats of this National Security law and from the government heres what he had to say. Its a little voice being heard in this little collision with another shrink in fact faking which is not to surrender at 3 days. From the protest at the press conference and raised the hope to have an old discussion close to a lot of candidates in the primary election to last through the traditional protocol credit how well the crackdown from beijing with no room and we have it from an asian its time for us to and. Now i must say that although this is seen somewhat of a victory particularly for the younger protesters there are those who are trying to get into politics there is an issue of the fact that the old democracy guard the older lawmakers and such have been pushed out those that may have been more attractive to beijing and more moderates in attracted to Hong Kong Government and there is also a risk that many of these new candidates including joshua long could be pushed out eventually or disqualified will be watching the lead up to those elections very closely indeed david there for us on the ground in hong kong thank you jeff.
