Viral speech reveals China’s shortcut to success; First U.S. ambassador visits Taiwan in 42 years

A Chinese expert says Beijing copied its way to the world’s front row. And now, it uses that leverage to get away with aggression toward the West. Hong Kong’s special status is still long gone, in keeping with Former President Trump’s policy. The city is now considered no different than mainland China, a shift that holds severe consequences for the financial hub. Hong Kong’s democracy has all but faded. This, after Beijing cuts down on opposition from the city’s electoral system. A historic moment for Taiwan. For the first time in 42 years a U.S. ambassador visits the island. And China says it would welcome a visit from the United Nations to its Xinjiang region. But adds that it will not allow investigation into reported abuse of the Uyghur ethnic minority. 00:00 Intro 00:51 Viral speech reveals Beijing’s shortcut to success 04:42 Assessing China’s digital threats to U.S. 08:02 Huawei growth rate declines, turns to farming 09:45 U.S. reaffirms HK doesn’t enjoy special status 11:04 Activist: Hong Kong
