Because of security concerns. Mexico agrees a multibillion dollar deal for International Assistance as it records the worlds 3rd highest coronavirus death toll. And a bankrupt flood on struggling to keep its children from going hungry. Hong kong police say they want the arrests of 6 prodemocracy activists and living in exile as china steps up in force winds of its new National Security law they include former u. K. Consular workers simon chiang who says he was tortured by chinese authorities for information about hong kong antigovernment protests also on the wanted list as prominent opposition figure nathan law he fled to london out of fear of persecution under the new Legislation Police havent commented but it will be the 1st time the law has been used to target activists outside Hong Kong Samuel chub is a us citizen and hes one of the activists wanted by Hong Kong Police it told aljazeera that chinas government is acting like a dictatorship and wants to stamp out all forms of opposition. I think that i was outrage and really not surprised but this is such an outlandish claim that somehow they have jurisdiction an american citizen lobbying an American Government is just completely out of line 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 what if theyre going to come after me they must love marched down to capitol hill and the rest Speaker Pelosi said senator rubio said everybody in the white house because they too have been under the small articles you know that it is using to charge people like me. A session 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 International influence and pressure i think that this is what dictators 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 and address before decisions and they delay any sort of democratic practices and process and elections because they want to saw what is in the production and i think that they might be able to lead us for a year but all of that are really doing is growing their movement and reinforcing the commitment all of us have that will once again be a free city one day ok lets go to do go ball and in hong kong and divvy it its only been about a month since this legislation came into effect and the authorities are really in forcing this very quickly on a day. Thats right rob hong kong is a very different place from what it was about a month ago but let me put this in context for you a year ago hong kong was in the throes of protests hundreds of thousands of people had taken to the streets there was daily Anti Government action people felt like they could say anything against a communist party or are the government they could say anything about hong kong now those very actions could easily get you arrested and in fact people have been arrested for shouting certain slogans partit pertaining to the independence or secession of hong kong on top of that we have seen a number of their arrests of prodemocracy activists people being disqualified from elections its a very different hong kong from the hong kong i know i mean i grew up in hong kong on a personal note i have never felt this kind of insecurity and anxiety ever in all my years in this city on top of that hong kong is changing culturally too books are being taken off shelves people are self censoring libraries are removing anything that can be deemed sensitive and as a journalist my job is getting a lot harder people are afraid to give interviews theyre worried that what they will say may not may cross a certain line as this law is seen as rather vague and on top of that as an International Media company theres a question if they Say Something with they be colluding with Foreign Forces so there are so many questions and so much insecurity over the situation here in hong kong now in the whole environment has changed so rapidly. Thats the situation of course inside hong kong with relation to this law and the implementation of it this is the 1st time this law is being used to target people outside the country and thats significant isnt that. Thats very significant but analysts say this is a very strategic move by beijing basically beijing is trying to drum up grassroots support theyre recovering from the coronavirus pandemic and one of the main nationalistic areas of support is tightening its grip over hong kong so its sending a very clear message that it has control over hong kong people no matter where they are and on top of that its sending a message to the International Community one of the main tenets of this National Security law was that it had no borders no matter where you are who you are where they are from hong kong or not you could break this law and this is beijing exercising that so by reaching out and showing how long its reach could be its sending another message to those countries like the u. S. U. K. Australia and canada that had condemned the implementation of this National Security law but have even cut ties with china are threatened sanctions as such saying that we can still do whatever we want even on your jurisdiction also extradition treaties have been suspended with the u. S. And the u. K. Now with Hong Kong Hong kong had its own agreements with many other countries in the latest germany to has suspended its extradition treaty with hong kong and as a note to Asylum Seekers last year had sought political asylum in germany so what the rest of the International Community is saying that we support hong kong people but china on the other hand is saying that regardless of that we still will control hong kong people as you said to be a very different times for hong kong. Hong kong thank you very much indeed. Donald trump is vowing to use his president ial powers to ban the chinese own social media platform to talk from the u. S. As early as saturday the u. S.

News website she says the ups connection to the government in beijing is murky. There is a concern that the 2 companies are very tightly tied even though the app is very separate they have to talk for outside of china and then a separate app inside i know they rely on Similar Technology so i think there is a large question of how divorced these 2 companies can be these issues have all become very jumbled Security Privacy National Security its very hard to separate at the moment certainly there are concerns that tick tock would either send data to china or give american users info they have said obviously that theyre going to keep all that data outside of china that no ticktock users data goes to china. You know its all about trust at this point and trust is pretty low pretty well on both sides of the u. S. China dispute you know in the u. S.
