A ceasefire plan by saudi arabia and the ending the 6 year war. Thousands of wrecking the refugees are homeless again after a devastating fire ripped through their camp in bangladesh plus. I meekly gaijin east of the strain which is being his by some of the worst floods in decades. Welcome to the program the United States the European Union u. K. And canada have sanctioned chinese officials and a Regional Security force for human rights abuses against wigan muslims and other minorities its the 1st major sanctions against beijing in decades and the 1st such coordinated move by western powers against china and the us President Joe Biden what secretary of state Anthony Blinken accuse china of continuing to commit genocide and crimes against humanity in june jiang province but beijing responded by announcing retaliate for sanctions against 10 europeans including politicians and diplomats the e. U. s Foreign Policy chief said they want to china to engage in dialogue and not confrontation rather than changes fully season address our legitimate concern china is against turn a blind eye and these measures are yet to pull and next unacceptable. There will be no change in due to being union did to me nation to defend human rights and to respond to city years a year later than abuses as they said your respective where they are going it and katrina you joins us live now from beijing katrinas a china has reacted with fury to these targeted sanctions what more are we hearing and seeing from beijing them. Hi daryn well furious is the word time to quickly issued a statement condemning these sanctions by the e. U. Saying that they were based on lies and disinformation it also said that this really interferes in chinas internal affairs and china basically will not stand for it and as you mentioned china quickly issued its own reciprocal sanctions although they increased it somewhat so the e. U. Sanctions affected 4 individuals as well as governmental organizations but china hit back by sanctioning 10 individuals and 4 institutions including a Human Rights Group and Democracy Foundation now this will have ramifications for the relationship between the e. U. And china last year china overtook the u. S. As the ears narges trading partner and the 2 parties at the end of 2020 finally agreed on the long discussed comprehensive investment treaty now that treaty is yet to be ratified by the e. U. Precisely because some of the Member States were raising questions about the human rights behavior by china now the e. U. Has said that they want to start a dialogue with china but this is not going to be taken as a dialogue started by beijing this is probably going to be seen as a direct attack because they think has always denied that there were any human rights abuses taking place in john and what many have called reeducation camps beijing has maintained that these are simply Vocational Training centers designed to increase the Economic Opportunities of the weak minority and katrina just tell sensitive is china to International Pressure over human rights abuses and is this relevant to them to escalate didnt further do that. Thats a really interesting question the last time we saw the e. U. Act as a bloc is when the european Cancer Council issued sanctions on china following the 989 chinamans square crackdown and the us also at the same time issued sanctions on china and these sanctions as a whole were quite damaging but back then it was more than 30 years ago china was a much smaller country much weaker in terms of its economy and its political clout these days its a very different story china obviously is much more powerful country 2nd largest economy in the world has many more relationships across the world that its reeling to exert its influence or of a so when you had those gentlemen square sanctions they didnt very little to influence the behavior of china so now that china is much bigger its difficult to say that they would have these sanctions would have any influence on chinas behavior if anything china has said that its going to double down that its not going to move in its going to continue to protect what it considers its core interests another interesting response is that weve seen china really move toward its own allies just the reverse as weve seen the u. S. And the e. U. And other western countries including the you straightly a new zealand get together as a bloc weve seen china move closer to russia weve also had chinas foreign minister won a trip to middle the middle east this week to visit countries such as saudi arabia turkey iran and the u. A. E. So china is also reacting by forming in a sense its or in block to counter what it sees as a westen bloc really starting to target and impinge on its own rights and sovereignty as they age and sees that the right to continue your life for us there from beijing katrina thank you. Well the e. U. Is also imposing sanctions on officials in miramar its the blocks 1st significant action yet against the joint since last months military coup the u. S. Has also announced additional measures to punish the generals for their violent crackdown on protesters from paris is a touch of battle. Hundreds of people protested in the coastal city of die away in myanmar as demonstrations continued in parts of the country against the fabric and the giant is increasingly brutal crackdown the demonstrations came as the e. U. Foreign ministers in proselyte announced sanctions on 11 military officials in myanmar linked to the coup and ongoing violence in the country among them didnt a leader many on crying all direct Financial Support from our Development Assistance to the government reform programs is great held some rights campaigners said the impact of the sanctions would be limited it cannot make a difference for a simple reason said the you know 11 or so generals and individuals that have been a single out for a targeted sanctions they keep their assets in places like china or singable banks in you know in Southeast Asia and you know so therefore if we really want to have any impact on the military and its behavior the e. U. Should seriously look at you know de recognizing military attash age across as European Union countries. The sanctions against the military officials in myanmar clearly wont be enough to end the violence but after weeks of only condemning the coup and calling for democracy the ease decision to finally act since a powerful message especially batla aljazeera paris.
