And theyre trying to get thome be harsher on beijing, to try to push their agenda here, which is asking for more independence and democracy. The demands have changed since this all started three months ago. The genesis of this was an extradition bill that could have seen people arrest heard in hong kong extradited to the mainland for trial and maybe even to serve their sentences. Now that bill has been withdrawn, and these protests are still going very, very strongly they want the u. S. To pass a bill, a legislation called the hong kong human rights and democracy act that would essentially crack down on anyone in beijing who is seen as impeding on the freedoms of hong kong citizens. They also want to see President Trump taking a harder line with beijing on hong kong now so far the president has been reluctant to try to bundle hong kong into his ongoing trade war with beijing so it seems like that could be something of a problem for the protesters theyre not going to want to have or the president isnt really going to want to throw in the hong kong issue with these trade issue that he has been battling now for several years frances, phillip matt bradley for us matt, thank you.
