Im anthony how would welcome protests have broken out in hong kong after china sparked outrage with proposed new legislation that would ban what beijing coals succession is and subversive activity it could allow Chinese Security agents to operate inside the territory prodemocracy campaign is a calling it a threat to hong kongs autonomy. Gas once again shrouds the streets of hong kong. Protests were turned off to china pushed for a strict new. National security law for the territory under cover of the corona virus. The National Security law is even more damaging and harmful than the extradition bill last year introduced by the government and now when time is running out in hong kong we would describe now as the beginning of the end we dont have enough time but we still need to continue the fight. For opponent see this is the end of hong kong one country 2 systems relationship with china the legislation that gives beijing more surveillance powers is supported by hong kong pro chinese legislators and local security chiefs. Were not of the great majority. I dont think mature the hong kong people in the interest. Of looting so Central Government so i dont think its an issue. Facing rubberstamp assembly is expected to approve the lot next week but protests on the small island may prove difficult to stamp out. Well for more on this lets bring in ben howard but singing expert china and asia pacific at the Bertelsmann Institute ben are just one we heard described in the pastis National Security law as the beginning of the end for one country 2 systems is he right. He is right unfortunately this law is really a devastating blow to the freedoms and autonomy of hong kong and it is a big blow to go on from people who are now asking themselves now that their political right are being taken away with the other rights that are going to be taken away next for example still has free media to some extent and Free Internet is that going to be taken away and of course a lot of the economic freedoms are also at stake now so this is very dire for. Ben had chinas resolve was severely tested last year when the protests where i am to have an extradition of all but it didnt move an inch what chance beijing would why even or accept anything other than exactly what president jiang wants this time there is no chance that beijing will waive. The protests that have been going on for about a year now absolutely surprised and shocked aging and she and king has been very resolved to get hong kong and it is controlled no matter the price and the price is going to be high its going to be high for the people its also going to be high for china on the world stage because on kong has always been this example or how china. Treats Foreign Countries or foreign cities different from from china despite all of the rich area and structures within China Foreign tongue is home has had a certain that youre a tea that they will be treated differently this is also in taken away by this is lost so the cost is going to be high but beijing is willing to pay. Yeah protesters have been jailed for taking part in last years marches do you think that people will take to the streets in the same numbers this time it will to take to the streets. High numbers i dont know it sure was quite by numbers to do last year we had is the. Overpopulation on the street one side of me hopes that will continue to show the result that it showed in the past and in other part of me. It will not because these protests this new law will end in tragedy or a lot of people. Then how botched thanks so much for your time.
