Of a top soldier the fallout in azerbaijan to newport about me and. Chapters on democracy and secularism removed why the Indian Governments plan to slash School Syllabus is due to the pandemic is being questioned. China is about and to retaliate after the u. S. President announced a new measures to hold beijing accountable donald trump reveals new sanctions against chinese officials over the new National Security or imposed on Hong Kong China says it will now impose sanctions of its own. John fund you know who to be able to uphold our legitimate interests in china will make the necessary responses to sanction the relevant personnel and entities of the us side were just the us to correct their mistakes and to not implement this act and stop interfering in chinas internal affairs if the u. S. Insists on going down the wrong path china will definitely hit back will hong kong is being stripped of its special trade and economic status and banks that also deal with some chinese officials will also face sanctions the hong kong or tanami act which i signed this afternoon passed unanimously through congress this law gives my administration powerful new tools to hold responsible the individuals and the entities involved in extinguishing hong kongs freedom weve all watch what happened not a good situation their freedoms been taken away their rights have been taken away and with it goes on going in my opinion because it will no longer be able to compete with free markets while chums announcement that came off to a win for his administration with the u. K. Announcing it will ban chinese tech giant huawei from its new high speed my about network citing concerns about security now china has strongly oppose that decision saying the u. K. Is merely playing into political manipulation from the United States well its now speech on the katrina you she joins us live from beijing katrina just picking up there with this whole hallway issue its quite the reversal for the u. K. Whats china been saying about it today. Thats right china is quite angry with this weve heard just a short time ago from Chinas Foreign Ministry spokesperson what union and she said that the u. K. Was colluding with the u. S. To oppress Chinese Companies she said that this was an unfair act of discrimination against Chinese Companies in the u. K. That the u. K. Was violating its agreement with china and with huawei and this would only serve to damage the relationship between london and beijing she said that the u. K. Was politicizing this issue and that the u. K. Government would do better to listen to what he says from the Business Community in britain who are morse likely to be affected by this move she then went on to say that china would do its best to protect its own companies and now she was also asked whether the Chinese Government reflects quite a strong editorial piece that was released today on global times which is a government mouthpiece newspaper and that again also used very strong words to attack essentially the u. K. Government calling it a weak link when it came to other western allies saying that this was a bore but china shouldnt worry too much and that china should retaliate because of this move otherwise other western countries might get the wrong idea and think that its its ok to bully china now quaternion did not mention any details about how beijing might move forward in response to this but she didnt mention that Chinese Companies who have investments or do trade with the u. K. Should reconsider that business because of what she called a Risky Business environment lets hear more what watching had to say on that. Its usually this is about the u. K. At all costs politicizing commercial and Technology Issues this is about china facing major threats in its investment security in the u. K. And its about our confidence in whether the u. K. Markets can remain open fair and nondiscriminatory so we will comprehensively and seriously evaluate this and will take all necessary measures to safeguard our companies interests and rights and between as weve been saying a dramatic but not unexpected escalation when it comes to tensions with the u. S. Over hong kong what else is beijing threatening at the moment thats right certainly seems like the rhetoric is being taken up a notch kwacha nearing responded by saying that the u. S. Is sanctions worth pathetic and she said and i quote if the u. S. Really wants to stir up trouble let the storm rage with grace of force so it seems that beijing doesnt have any intention of being intimidated by this move and chain of fact reflected an earlier statement from Chinas Foreign Ministry saying that the u. S. Is slandering hong kongs National Security law that it should not meddle in chinas internal affairs and should pull back from the brink she also went on to justify this law and saying that this is crucial for the prosperity and the stability of hong kong that the hong kong people like and accept this law and this will not affect the majority of law abiding hong kong people and will not affect hong kong businesses although of course the sentiment in the mood on the ground in hong kong is a very different there now she also said that beijing is not going to stand by and let this happen they jim will hit back against this strongly although she didnt provide any details of exactly how that will happen although she did mention that there will be some sanctions on some u. S. Officials and personnel involved in this move katrina you that in the Chinese Capital for us thanks very much katrina well david paul and has the view from hong kong she explains the decisions so are the implications of the u. S. Decision to revoke the territories special status. This move by the us for the human rights to democracy act and to strip hong kong of that special status was lobbied for and spearheaded by hong kongs protesters including joshua long and many of the prodemocracy camp so this is seen as a result of hong kongs approach moxy camp calling for more accountability to people in beijing and hong kong officials who are seen as not or violating hong kongs Autonomous System and stripping hong kong further of its rights and freedoms as far as impact goes so far and analysts says there will be some kind of an Economic Impact of the Many Companies that already factored that in due to the fact that this had been weeks in the making until President Trump signed it today but according to hong kong a financial secretary to the u. S. That has more to lose hong kong is the u. S. Is biggest trading surplus partner in a single economy which means that the u. S. Will be on the back foot when it comes to trade with hong kong after this particularly for American Companies pull out but hong kong too is concerned due to the fact that this will affect Business Confidence and purse basically confidence in the political environment so Companies Like the New York Times has already said today itself that it is going to pull out a large number of its staff and move over to seoul and theres concern many other Media Companies would follow suit and other International Companies will also consider thinking about this well just in the last hour or so winners of the election primaries in hong kong have been calling for gracey unity within the prodemocracy camp in Septembers Legislative Council polls now most of the 600000 votes went to socalled localist candidates including prominent activists joshua wang many of them expected to be disqualified from running due to their political stances but they say they will not stop fighting against chinas crackdown on the territorys freedoms.

From the protest camp full of the press conference and raise the hope to have a lot of discussion close to lots of candidates in the primary election to last through the traditional protocol credit card with the prep going from beijing with no room and then he tries to have a different vision its time for us to and has refused and unity.
