100000 mark amid criticism that the Trump Administration could have acted earlier and saved thousands of lives. Hello im terry martin welcome to the Program China has taken another step to increase its control over hong kong and to quell public protests in an overwhelming vote of approval beijings National Peoples Congress Passed a plan giving the Chinese Government the power to begin imposing new restrictions on hong kong the controversial security law will bypass the territorys own ruling legislature prodemocracy advocates say the law by lates the freedoms promised under Hong Kong Special one country 2 systems stoppers. Was cross over to beijing now work correspondent standing by what will beijings new National Security law mean for hong kongs future. I spoke to several activists from the prodemocracy movement in hong kong and for them thank. You so afraid the line to beijing is has been compromised sorry fabio hoping maybe well bring him back in the program a little later that would have been crushed in beijing well the move by beijing to gain more influence over hong kong is Judicial Affairs has prompted the strongest acknowledgment yet by german chancellor Angela Merkel of chinas distinct approach to law and civil rights do you claim that you know that you only issue surrounding each china relations are complex enough on their own these complexities compounded by the fact that china isnt just any patna a competitor but a country that is profoundly different in regard to the rule of law Freedom Democracy and human rights. We only need to look at the situation in hong kong and the one country 2 systems policy. However the fact that we have a very fundamental difference is should not be an argument against Exchange Dialogue and cooperation. Im joined now by your going to hans hughes Foreign Policy spokesperson for americas conservative party in the German Parliament the bonus talk the talk thank you for joining us whats your take on the security law that china is preparing to impose on hong kong i think the decision of the Peoples Congress and picking from today is harming significantly the cream and between china and the United Kingdom concerning the status of hong kong and to the fact that this paper. Was ever a decades ago its part of united nations. Notification i think this is harming of International Law and we have to station states that and we have to mention that. Concerning the reality i see. A lot of weakness of the Chinese Government in doing that because we normally expect that china is Going Forward in welfare for the people and economic terms also in political and military terms but they are increasing pressure on Civil Society in china and in hong kong and this shows that probably the Chinese Government the prime ministers party fear not as secure in their seats then we see them in their seats and this is the most important part from today for me the German Government has been criticised for keeping quiet on issues surrounding hong kong are you not concerned that china is violating the rule of law and undermining freedom and democracy as im going to america stated today on that topic i think we have to you with all our ways and also of the islands and in your paid union and in the transcendental cooperation to make clear that we dont accept this step and that to be see you back in relations to china corner so i think that but i think the best way to reach change in the politics of Big Government is to find a win win options for both sides for all European Union for on one side for example and china on the other side and then also linking that to other questions and i think a European Union needs to have a strategy on china the paper on the table from the commission from last year which is very. Engaged on that for you to ice i see progress in that field the u. S. Has been very outspoken in its criticism of china what is germanys red line that needs to be cross before stronger action is taken sanctions perhaps will be considered. I think a sanction policy needs to have a and the objective for that is surrealistic lee reachable and i think also looking to the people in the whole country of china i think we have not to over estimate the rumors in the country in the chinese homeland so to say. Concerning that but to hong kong we see the. Situation in hong kong but Chinese People maybe have other things in mind discover or not and economic difficult times and therefore we have to to to see that the the identity of the Chinese Government to they want to keep in place but they want to have occurred on the progress economic brokers is linked to cooperation with other continents and other countries and this is the way we have to go with china and we have to make clear that for us. Fairy elations. Also have to have in mind their Business Plans and not political decisions of a communist party have to set the agenda of Economic Cooperation and this is what i expect from the European Union that should be mentioned on the summit between china and European Union china is pursuing its belton Road Initiative making inroads also into europe do you think that europe is capable of speaking with one voice when it comes to a Foreign Policy approach to china that would have any effective influence. This is the question of a common strategy looking to those countries of the European Union that are economically linked to the bed wrote initiative for china and some of them on this of course because they see that. Its giving money for their project but they have also political topics on the agenda that should be pushed through by doing this economic. Ject. By the way i think to have a land line between china and europe its a good idea part of their lead lined its an enclosed to my constituency and also i was fadia but linking political questions with this doctrine economic project is not there what we can accept and this what needs to be the message of all the 27 European Union Member States to china when we have this summit in autumn.
