Now Hong Kong Police are reportedly seeking the arrest of 6 prodemocracy activists living in exile as china steps up its enforcement of its newly imposed a National Security law now they include former u. K. Consulate worker simon chang who says he was tortured by chinese authorities for information about hong kongs antigovernment protests also all not want to this day as prominent opposition figure nathan law who fled to london over fears of persecution under a new security law. Police have declined to comment but it would be the 1st time they using this legislation to talk activists outside of hong kong i spoke with samuel chu hes a u. S. Citizen and one of those activists wanted by Hong Kong Police he told me chinas government is acting like a dictatorship that wants to stamp out all forms of opposition i think was outrage and really not surprised but this is so outlandish claim that somehow the jurisdiction of american law being an American Government is just completely out of line anyone if they literally anyone could be charged under this new law that would include heads of state for instance you might say things that Institute Policies that beijing doesnt want to see what kind of reaction are you expecting from the u. S. And potentially other western nations i think im not the only person whos out ritually up spoken to a number of congressional offices and i as i said from the very beginning when the law was if theyre going to come after me they must look marched down to capitol hill and the rest of close senator rubios and everybody in the white house because they too have been. All articles that it is using to charge people like me. Secession and colluding with foreign powers and that i think is what theyre both not understanding is that theyre creating really a perception of how desperate and house they are global of the National Influence and some you know im curious i mean this is also taking place within the context of a Global Pandemic right now and all the restrictions that go with that what do you make of the timing of chinas actions here. I think there is a lot of areas for china its the pressure globally in a lot of ways were in an open season right now against china because of their original response and their reaction to the pentagon mixed spreading and stemming from china and i think that theyre seeing the kind of hooey and censureship the only other service other country but business and spend and the way that theyre pushing i think that is starting to create a 99 line wont pushing back and i really think that this shows todays tickling shows the kind of awareness and the fact that they are scared of losing control and they know that it. Can continue to play sort of systems its gretton control all over the mainland and in china all over the place and i think that that is what. Some one last question i mean weve also had that Legislative Council elections are now being postponed in hong kong ostensibly because of coronavirus fares what do you make of that id like your reaction i think that this is what the papers do one day know that they have lost the hearts and minds of their people they go out and disqualify opposition leaders they issue or arrests for dissidents and they delay any sort of from a crowd to practices and process and elections because they want to stall what is it. And i think that they might be able to relate this or appear but all theyre really doing is growing their movement and reinforcing the commitment all of us have that once again recently one day.

That the test from the outset it was clear that the hearing would reflect the countrys bitter political divide the democratic chair outlining what was supposed to be the prime intention today im calling for the administration to finally give america a comprehensive National Plan prior times the science over politics the ranking republican member waving reams of paper contended that President Trump did in fact have a National Plan let me thank you on behalf of the millions of American People who are alive today that wouldnt be alive if you werent carrying out President Trumps effective plan to keep americans safe as we learned about this virus as we work to get a cure for this virus a picture of the president placed behind him to emphasize on whose behalf he was speaking the chair also produced his own prop a graph showing the dramatic discrepancy between the rates of infection in the United States and in europe the president immediately tweeting a response in real time including a gratuitous insult somebody please tell congressman clyburn who doesnt have a clue that the chart he put up indicating more cases for the u. S. Than europe is because we do much more testing than any other country in the world if we had no testing or bad testing he continues we would show very few cases. Dr pao she said the early opening of many states was one reason along with the differences in the initial response if you look at what happened in europe when they shut down or locked down or went to shelter in place however you want to describe it they really did it to the tune of about 95 plus percent of the country did that when you actually look at what we did even though we shut down even though it created a great deal of difficulty we really functionally shut down only about 50 percent in the sense of the totality of the country your system secretary of Health Confirmed there was a disturbing legging getting test results saying it was taking on average 3. 00 to 5. 00 days and in a few cases up to 15 and the director of the centers for Disease Control stated he had not been consulted in the administrations decision to shift the focus of Data Collection from the c. D. C. To the Health Department in washington the centers for Disease Control has been the focal point in the fight against every previous pandemic the fact that the director was cut out of the loop in this crucial decision is yet another example of the degree to which the administration has sidelined the c.
