Germanys holiday hotspots are enjoying a moment in the sun to a National Lockdown has been largely lifted. Im Claire Richardson welcome to the show lawmakers in hong kong say new security laws that china wants to impose on the city are an attack on its autonomy the legislation is aimed at curbing the territories proDemocracy Movement the proposals are one of the centerpieces of chinas annual National PeoplesCongress Taking place in beijing theres outrage at the new measures in hong kong a special Administrative Region of china. Some 3000. 00 delegates from all over china have gathered for the National Congress in beijing normally lasting 2 weeks the on your congress has been shortened this year to just one because of the corona virus pandemic so its straight down to business the National Committee chair says new security laws for hong kong will be discussed on day one. But since i didnt i wouldnt go to ensure the policy of one country 2 systems is firmly held over the long term we will strengthen the sense of mission and political responsibility of National Committee members representing hong kong and macau and firmly support the improvement of systems and mechanisms for enforcing chinas constitution and the basic laws of those 2 special Administrative Region. I thought. Has long considered limiting opposition movements in hong kong but the issue intensified after large antigovernment protests last year when prodemocracy activists took to hong kong streets to protest a number of proposed changes to the citys laws the demonstrators believe beijing is chipping away at the territories unique rights to assembly and free speech just this month a number of hong kong lawmakers were dragged from Parliament Amid a round all about a Chinese National anthem bill that would criminalize disrespect of the song. On thursday many legislators said the Central Communist Party was tightening its grip on hong kong. I just want to say to the international community. This is. No mistake. Procuring the 1st. Group. Of promise. And a new law is coming from beijing are almost certain to spark more protests in hong kong and attract attention from the wider world. Is following this story for us and joins us now from beijing fabien what more can you tell us about these new laws. Yeah the new law the National Security law for hong kong trying to eradicate everything what call it what beijing calls some force and the suspicion this behavior so its basically aimed at the proDemocracy Movement its a conflict between get the activists want more political participation of course of the establishment and thats quite controversial the last time that simul and National Security law was tried to establish at that time by the local government in hong kong in 2003 that spot sparked such a backlash and there were so many protests and Public Opinion was really heated so they had to abandon that and i think something similar might happen now is specially s. Special Economic Zone this hong kong is really in dire straits i mean economically they are in a recession and of course also politically theyre in a standstill so tell us a bit more about whats at stake what exactly would this mean for hong kong and the Democracy Movement back it could mean basically the death of the whole movement basically beijing is arguing that the movement is infiltrated by Foreign Forces and also finance for example by us think tanks for example so with this new law it would basically be clear evil and yet beijing would have to find means to basically. Eradicate every protested cetera. However we dont know the full details of the National Security law so we have to wait and see. And find and what other developments have to come out of this years National Peoples congress. I mean it has just started 2 hours ago with the Prime Minister leakages young speech and its basically at least for the International Audience the most important to watch and usually Prime Minister lee he would give out any real growth targets for the economy and this time everything is different that he didnt give out a specific number and that it is basically acknowledging the reality of the Coronavirus Crisis and its quite unusual but however priming the silly has put the focus to step in the employment market and its quite important get more the party because unemployment means danger for the social stability so they really put their focus for this year for Poverty Alleviation and also. The employment market.
