Amna nawaz takes a look at both sides. Reporter newlyelected pro democracy legislators walking today through debris from last weeks fiery clashes at hong kongs polytechnic university. Sundays landslide election made clear the grassroots protesters have the overwhelming support of hong kong voters. Prodemocracy forces won control of 17 of 18 District Councils in the first election since the unrest began, six months ago. It is a genuine referendum of the people in hong kong. The candidates from the democratic government allies won this election. Democratic party hope our chief executive mrs.

She said in a statement that the government will seriously reflect on the results.

Lets explore the stakes at play with susan shirk. Shes the chair of the 21st Century China Program at the university of california, san diego. She returned from a trip to china this week. Susan, thank you very much for being with us. There is no doubt, we heard, about where the public sentiment in hong kong lies. From the perspective of the Hong Kong Government and the Chinese Government in beijing, how does this change the calculus for what they do next . Right before i came to the studio, the official media in china had not yet reported the outcome of the election. They did finally report there was the election, but they really havent reported the results, and theres some indication from people on the ground ive heard from that they have been talking to journalists, chinese journalists who say that, in fact, the chinese leadership was surprised by the outcome of the election and then they are now scrambling to figure out what to do about it. Its really remarkable that, despite these large scale protests that have gone on for months, they still were surprised by the outcome of the election. So how do you think these Election Results changed the dynamic . If carrie lam resigns to kind of take responsibility for the outcome, that might diffuse the protests for a while as people wait and see what more beijing will do to meet the other demands, including some progress toward more direct elections, and, of course, if carrie lam has to be replaced, then that also raises the issue of how you select the chief executive. You heard in the piece there some people were referring to this as a turning point. Do you believe that it could be that . Pchange . Ld bring about some real well, you know, its a test of xi jinpings pragmatism. Is he really very dogmatic . Did he really believe his own propaganda . Did the internal channels from the Liaison Office in hong kong actually fearing to give him bad news give him an unrealistic view of what was happening in hong kong . If hes pric pragmatic, then its to me hes likely to do try to find a way to respond to some of the protesters demands, at least by getting rid of the very unpopular carrie lam. Really, this is kind of a fork in the road for xi jinping. Is he going to double down on control and indoctrination, or is he going to be flexible and give a little bit in the direction of more direct democratic election of hong kong political leaders . And that is the latest from hong kong, but i do want to get your take on a different topic were also covering today. I want to shift now to Mainland China where leaked communist party documents show the internal workers of internment and reeducation camps used to detain a Million People. The china cables are the First Official glimpse into the structure and ideology behind these camps in northwest Chinas Xinjiang province, where one million muslim uighurs, and members of other minority groups, are detained on industrial scale. The documents show that the Chinese Government officials designed the camps as brainwashing centers on a massive scale, with multiple layers of security. Among the other revelations camp inmates could be held indefinitely, camps are run on a points system where inmates earn credits for compliance, weekly phone calls or monthly video calls are the only contact allowed and preventing escape is paramount. The Chinese Foreign minster said documents leaked earlier this month by the times were fabricated. translated they are also sensationalising these internal documents by using poor tactics like taking them out of context and grafting them onto another, to undermine and tarnish chinas efforts on antiterrorism and depolarization in xinjiang. Reporter Foreign Affairs correspondent Nick Schifrin sat down with National Security advisor robert obrain over the weekend, at the Halifax Security Forum we have over a Million People in concentration examples, thats an outrage. President xi has the power of writ in china, what he says goes, and those camps should be closed, dismantled, but its not just the camps, its the surveillance infrastructure thats been built in the region. Susan shirk, as we reported, that is the second trove of leaked documents to be published in over a week, the previous backed by the New York Times. Going through the documents, what do we learn in terms of the vovment of president xi jinping in these camps and these efforts . Well, the New York Times story makes explicit that theres no evidence, no statement in these documents, that xi jinping actually ordered the establishment of the camps. What he did is start a campaign to try to crack down on terrorism in 2014, after a number of terrorist attacks in xinjiang and terrorist attacks outside of china as well. And he so he launched this very harsh campaign of indoctrination to try to undertake thought reform of uighurs and other ethnic groups in xinjiang. So he himself, we dont have the document yet in which he ordered the camps, but certainly the establishment of the camps which was done by provincial officials, at least thats what the documents tell us, was a response to this Campaign Launched by xi jinping. And whats really remarkable about the campaign is it shows that xi jinping Still Believes in this malace notion of thought reform. He really believes that this kind of intensive brainwashing can change the way people think. What does it say to you that these documents are even being leaked at all . The fact that these are seeing the light of day . Well, it shows that not everybody in the chinese bureaucracy and the party and government burke bureaucracy ags with this h heavyhanded, oppressive, police state approach to governing china. In fact, the documents from the standpoint of a china watcher are really fascinating because they show that some of the local officials objected to this approach and, in fact, some officials released people from the camps because they wanted to make sure that th met their Economic Growth targets, and without the labor power, they werent going to be able to do that so i think, you know, from outside, china looks so monolithic, but, in fact, i think there are a lot of different points of view and not everybody agrees with the direction she is taking the country. That is susan shirk of the 21st Century China Center at the university of californiasan diego. Thank you for being with us. My pleasure. William brangham hack the story. Reporter at the center of all this is the case of reporter at the center of all of this is the case of chief petty officer Edward Gallagher, a navy seal. Previously, he was accused of murdering a wounded isis militant in iraq in 2017 and of shooting at civilians. A Court Martial acquitted him on those charges, but did convict him of posing for a photo with the militants body. Gallagher was demoted. But the controversy since has been over whether the navy should mete out any further punishment like whether he should keep his status as a navy seal. This past weekend, while civilian and military leaders the president said he would not allow the navy to punish gallagher anymore. Last night, secretary of navy Richard Spencer was forced out of his post by secretary of defense mark esper over his handling of gallaghers case. Here to walk us through the controversy the nanc nancy yousf with the wall street journal. Rear admiral green who oversees the nav navy seals decides he ws gallagher out of the service. Pick up the story. He wants to say the military should review whether gallagher should have the distinction or honor of being called a navy seal after this case. He called to a review board, thats where peers come forward, look at the case, and decide whether he should wear the trident pen that says youre one of the most elite forces in the United States military and i think thats what admiral green was trying to get at with the review process, and that after the president restored his rank and brought back his pay was sort of the last outstanding issue visavis this case. Reporter explain the process by which the secretary of the navy is out. There was really concern within the Unit
