and once a reaction from europe of german on, on china policy happens, then that will be china reaction. and then we will see whether a ton of real politics we are working with really. yeah, let me just let me ask you, let me ask you, do you think that's really going to happen? because, you know, you could argue that china needs, the european union needs germany just as much as germany needs china when we're talking about, you know, the 2 way street of business here. so if you do in of turn the screws a little bit, when it comes to human rights, i mean the china is not going to run away. no time is not uncommon ray, but china is able also to, to school on its side. i mean, you've seen that with your p o was international companies and issues. seeing that when i, when one company tried to, to void a custom to use content from saint john. because it said that we could use them for labor can. so john, a complaint against the company. so that means that business will be effective and efficient, especially in the house cover crisis situation, which will be facing soon. might that just not wa

hopefully people in china, mainland china will see thousands of people wearing those pinks white t shirt to be straight up in grand final. and they will know that she still not safe. they will know that people all across the world are still speaking of pinks. roy, whether she knows it or not, tang schwein has plenty of fans who want to see her back on a tennis tour. like our next gas is a b, c journalist, max walden. he joins us now from melbourne, macs. i need to ask you about why the organizer said that they backtrack on their decision. what was the reason that they gave yeah. will they come out and said now that you know that they're okay with paypal, wearing a shirts. i'm although banners which were also taken off the activists the other day. um that you know this, you're not allowed you to safety reasons. i'm. there has been a b public outcry in that foreign minister may comment on this. so really, i think, you know, this decision's been made. i'm off the significant public and media pressure. now we saw that report there, tennis legend martine, an average alova slamming the origina

you arrived in beijing during a time of tension between china and germany, with reports of china hacking the german government computer network. how did things change during your 6 years as ambassador? yes, clear when when i arrived in 2007 and the 1st big conflict between our 2 governments was dollar lum. and in fact, the reception by america of della lama in berlin really put, put a big strain on our relationship. and i think it has been a mixture off the dialogue and having a very clear position that america took really put off this and difficult conflict and step by step developed in a more open, constructive, co operative kind of relationship. and i think under america, we saw the status of the relationship between berlin in beijing upgraded it to a comprehensive, strategic partnership. but a long list of human rights issues remain a foreign in the side of the relationship. especially in, in jang and hong kong. could germany have done more on pressing for human rights to be up health? but it's always the question if you tackle human rights publicly or in a very clear. but the direct

i think his, his view of china was shaped by his 7 years as mayor of hamburg. that's a foreign minister in a bad book, like green party, she's been highly critical of a jane. she's called for essentially a break in, in, in germany's approach so, more outspoken on human rights. reducing economic dependencies on china. so germany now has a chancellor who doesn't want to rock the boat and a foreign minister who wants a tough line. also in the mix, a liberal finance minister who's pro human rights, but close to business. these could get very complicated. we could see as sort of coughing any of discordant signals on china from this new government and signals from bay ging suggest things are changing. death more focus on the domestic economy. more state control. this could lead china to pull away from the west rather than the other way round. so as germany's new team gets down to work, finding a coherent way forward on china will be a massive challenge. the world is watching. time not ever look at some of the other stories making news around the world. police inciden

no, china's hold on going to rain, but china is able also to, to talk the screws on it side. i mean, you've seen that with your people with international companies and the issues that when i, when one company try to, to avoid a call to them, to use them from st. john's. because it said if you could use them both later, can. so john, i need to be sure to be complaint against the company. so that means that business will be all more effective and efficient, especially the post covered crisis situation, which will be facing soon might than just not want to to, to make the economic situation worse. for the country, so this will be a good question for all european countries. actually to, to answer arianna reimers with the mayor carter institute for china studies. we appreciate your time, your insights tonight. thank you. was i'm sad. news to report denied the ground breaking actor sidney point he has died at the age of $94.00. he was the 1st black person to win the best actor award. best oscar for the 1963 film lilies of the field. he inspired a generation during the civil rights

so, more outspoken on human rights reducing economic dependencies on china. so germany now has a chancellor who doesn't want to rock the boat and a foreign minister who wants a tough line. also in the mix, a liberal finance minister who's pro human rights, but close to business. this could get very complicated. we could see as sort of coffee, many of discordant signals on china from this new government signals from bay ging suggest things are changing, they're more focused on the domestic economy. more state control, this could lead china to pull away from the west rather than the other way round. so as germany's new team gets down to work, finding a coherent way forward on china will be a massive challenge. the world is watching sport now and the buddhist legged returned with a bang after the winter break as met can glad back. stunned league lead as by and munich, bon would normally have come into this match a strong favorites, but the bavarian were missing 9 stars. g to covet 19 glad back, took advantage, and in doing so brave a little life into the title c

hopefully people in china, mainland china, will see thousands of people wearing those pinks white t shirts to be straight up in grand final. and they will know that she is still not safe. they will know that people all across the world. still speaking of pinks, roy, whether she knows it or not, tang schwein has plenty of fans who want to see her back on a tennis tour. like santa has pursued a 0 coven policy since the start of the pandemic, and claims to have recorded fewer than 5000 deaths as a result. in the u. s. by comparison, coven 19 has killed nearly 900000 people. but it's unclear of china will be able to hold back the more infectious alma chron variant as a country prepares to host the olympic games. here in beijing, life appears to be back to normal, with people enjoying traditional winter activities, like ice cheer, writing cove. it almost seems to be a thing of the past or other general i think being outside here is all right. besides the gin has done an exemplary job of finding the pandemic. so far as yeah, glenn is long as people keeping careful everything should be okay. i ha

in china, you routinely see all sorts of encryption flaws built into software. in fact, not that long ago, the citizen lab discovered such a flaw in china made zoom soccer platform that many people use during the pandemic. but you know, this is also an authoritarian regime that has a long history of weakening encryption and of course surveillance of its users. so, you know, either way, it's something that i would advise everyone who is attending the games to be aware of because it puts their data at very serious risk. and i thought that was going to be my next question. because if this has been mandated, either how worried should i be about using this app? well 1st of all, i was in instructing or giving advice to anyone, particularly a journalist traveling to china. i would recommend not taking your regular phone or your work phone. i would recommend taking a burner device, not trusting the network anywhere within china because surveillance is extensive there. what this adds though, is the insecurities that we discovered add a layer of potential criminal fraud a

you could say just between china and western world, and i think china just really wants to show that they can pull this off successfully. i think they want to show that they can have a more successful winter olympics than the summer olympics. that just happened last year. until you know, that was was of course also distracted by coping. but i think they're really show that their strategy of, of cove is 0, is the right strategy and, and the big contrast of the rest of the world and how, you know cove, it has really ripped through a lot of society that hasn't happened here. china since 2 years ago, and i think they really want that to be the case going through the rush, the february march, jonathan chang from the wall street journal, speaking to us from beijing. thank you very much, jonathan. i'm trying let's get a round up of some other world headlines now. the sudanese protest who was killed on sunday during demonstrations against the military that brings the tally of death since the military crew. in october 2, 62, the united nations has called 4 talks between military leaders and p
