A rival palestinian groups come together to voice opposition against israels annexation. And. All the. French open organizes that fans will be allowed to attend this is still a tournament. Now the u. S. Senate has passed a bill targeting china over its new security law and home called the bill aims to penalize banks doing business with chinese officials who have implemented the new law it will be sent to the President Donald Trump for approval it comes a day after house of representatives passed it without opposition. It is nothing short of an all out effort to negate the rights of the people of hong kong in violation of the agreements made under the one country 2 systems we were concerned of what it might be and it exceeds even those harz the law is a brutal sweeping crackdown against the people of hong kong intended to destroy the freedoms they were promised thanks to you to the committee for holding this hearing was asked the question is this the end of the one country 2 systems or lets talk to she have returns is standing by for us on capitol hill in washington d. C. She have tell us more about this bill and the effect is likely to have. Well it is as you mentioned it sanctions individuals and Financial Institutions who do business with individuals who are deemed not to be following the basic law that was passed that was agreed upon the handover in 1970 that means those who are in acting this new security security law if and when it is signed by the president the state department the Treasury Department will then identify individuals in Financial Institutions who are deemed to be falling afoul of this law and and then those people must be must be sanctioned the question is of course is donald trump going to sign this law because as weve seen in the past and all trump is quite open about this when it comes to china because of the trading relationship between china and the u. S. Because of the enormous importance of the phase one trade deal that has been signed between the u. S. And china dont trump does delay as he did with the sanctions bill on china because of alleged human rights abuses in sion jagging over the over the week is he quite open about that he delayed that because the negotiations were still under way and china has warned the u. S. That there are red lines of the u. S. Shouldnt cross and the implication of that being look you know if we drop out of this for this trade deal it would be disastrous for Donald Trumps electoral platform particularly to rural states in the United States the year that china has agreed to buy billions of dollars of agricultural exports having said that though this does seem to be on the lower end of sanctions that the u. S. Could be imposing on chinese officials there was unanimous bipartisan support in congress for it mike pence the Vice President last year as has been very outspoken against china pump air has been very outspoken against china and as always we dont quite know what all truck will do until he does it i mean and there are other other policies already underway as a result of whats going on the Hong Kong Hong kong special status is being reconfigured it may actually be able to take exports of. High tech and defense goods and there are already sanctions on chinese officials because of whats going on at hong kong we have called the white house to see well. And were awaiting a response but if it is at the low end you have to wonder just what effect is likely to have on chinas terms go ahead with all this what we just yeah its very. Its difficult to say you know whats lower and what isnt and clearly theres a psychological impact of all of this it certainly looks like you know the u. S. Is being terribly tough however i think it was interesting of those those meetings that compare had with a very senior chinese official last week it did appear that when china talks about redlines there seems to be an understanding that there will be pressure on the u. S. Government to act in certain ways and theres always seem to be an understanding of the domestic constituencies of both the u. S. And china have in their negotiations and in their global relationship so youve got one always wonders whether you know this is obviously seen as a force for bipartisan policy against china from from the u. S. Thought that combine forces of the u. S. Government but when you look through this bill it is rather vague as to who may be sanctioned and.
