Venturing campaigner jimmy lie has been detained many times but this was the 1st time he was taken away in handcuffs. W. That although he expected his arrest. He was surprised that it came so soon and that his sons were also targeted. This time be and so maybe because they have to so t. V. I was actually shocked and that makes it more scary especially when when when they take your tram me. With what you do i think this is a very effective intimidation to the community.

I told them that consider your own safety your conscience and you operate cation to church and society were not asking you to be the marker you know do whatever you think is the right thing to do so we would just continue to do it and test the water many protesters have been left wondering why now as both peaceful and by them talk to visit and see men they. Lost gail demonstration will be the thing of the past but it doesnt mean that people will cease to reduce it i think the rhesus students will go on but in a different way i definitely dont read that we have to confront them head on because this is going to be a long fight we have to be flexible and courses and creative i will only be power all off for a t.

And our correspondent he conquered did that interview with jimmy lyon joins me now from hong kong hello to you. So listening to jimmy lie speaking there he said the resistance in hong kong will go on but in a different way what do you think he means by that. What you mean i am going to in the interview without you think theres not much people can do on the street right now in home home because of the new sweeping National Security law but despite the fact that its not very possible to help in the massive demonstration but do you think people should continue to fly out of these polls and creative ways to sustain a Movement Like from poll like the voice of support. To International Communities because you think the home phone the moral power is the greatest straight home phone thats out at the moment and that can help them to draw International Support to achieve that the mob and apart from that he also think that its also important for the opposition to remain in office even though he knew that show you all morning here right now but do you think if he important for people in opposition figures to fight inside of you you.

Retaliation when the china and us and i hope all is consider as the forefront of the socalled neo cold war between the 2 superpowers so we definitely fact that this kind of light you can see that with yeah and people actions that will go well will carry on i guess ill be on the 1st question now in hong kong that the u. S. Strongly opposed to the the way of china would all especially be implementation of National Security so we expect there will be. Many more like retaliate 3 matches laid out between the 2 superpowers. Kong reporting from hong kong thank you so much.
