Nathan law, welcome to hardtalk. Thank you so much for having me again, stephen. Well, its a pleasure to have you back in the studio. We talked last soon after you fled from hong kong.

President xi jinping of china has presented himself as a deal maker in the war, but his proposals have so far been pretty vague and, perhaps not surprisingly, much more favourable to his friend Vladimir Putin than to ukraine.
