To certify election results we have the details Elon Musk says he is going to war with apple Twitter CEO is accusing the tech giant of censorship and monopolistic Behavior find out why over 2 million people remain under a boil water notice in Houston officials say the culprit was a power outage thank you
Foreign good morning welcome to NTD I’m Kevin Hogan good morning I’m Evelyn Lee today is Tuesday November 29th you know Evelyn I find it interesting that a little big Tech like Twitter is going after a big big Tech Apple yeah that is interesting and isn’t it ironic that before buying Twitter when
Tesla was struggling musk was actually considering uh selling the car company to um two apples oh yeah that is ironic and look at them now in a conflict surrounding Free Speech but Evelyn give us an update on freedom in general right we do have an update on that the ongoing
Protests against China’s strict zero covet policy and restrictions on freedoms have spread to at least a dozen cities around the world it’s a show of solidarity with rarest plays of defiance in China over the weekend and today’s Jeremy Sandberg has a story these white sheets of paper have become
A symbol of protest in China and it is spreading dozens of protesters gathered in Hong Kong on Monday to show solidarity in a city that is no stranger to anti-government protests people brought flowers and candles I’m here because I don’t quite agree with Mainland China’s policies on kovid small-scale vigils and protests have
Popped up in a number of cities around the world they follow the deadly apartment fire in the xinjiang region which triggered an extraordinary series of protest scenes across China over the weekend in Sydney about 200 people gathered outside town hall to show support for protesters in the United States protesters gathered
Outside a U.S state Department in Washington a vigil and protest were also held at the University of California in Berkeley dozens of protesters gathered outside Columbia University in New York City um the fact that Chinese and the young people in China have finally sent stood
Up to to the corrupt to the corrupt and coercive government for decades we have been silenced we have not been able to voice our um we have not been able to voice our descent but but this weekend what happened this weekend what happened over the last week has once again like it
Inspired me during the speech one of the protesters was beaten by a Chinese mainlander similar protest scenes unfolded in London Tokyo Paris Toronto and at least five other cities in Canada given the widespread display of frustration with the zero covered policy is China considering ending it soon and
If so when a spokesperson for the Chinese foreign Ministry said that Beijing was not aware of any protests abroad calling for an end to its zero covid policy and when repeatedly asked about the protests at home after 40 seconds of paper shuffling he replied the question did not quote reflect what actually happened
In another you’re going to research report Jeremy Sandberg NTD news and as for now at least 20 coveted related protests have taken place in 15 cities across China and in light of the ongoing protests in China the White House set its position on Peaceful protests has not changed
John Kirby of the National Security Council said the White House supports the right to peacefully Assemble whether it’s the people protesting in Iran or China or anywhere else around the world nothing’s changed about the the president’s firm belief in the power of democracy and Democratic institutions
And how important that is but I wouldn’t get into Parson the the dollar figure effect here of the of uh the remaining challenge of covid in China but clearly China as a major economic player and China still struggling with uh kovid there’s obviously there’s an impact on the economy
Kirby said the White House does not have extra information about the protests other than what is found on social media and traditional media he said the Biden Administration would be watching the protests closely when questioned about Biden’s recent meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping Kirby said the topic
Of covid would likely have come up but that it was not known whether China’s zero covid was a topic of discussion U.S embassies in China are asking U.S citizens living there to stock up on supplies they put out a mission statement yesterday they advised keeping a 14-day supply of medications bottled
Water and food for each household member that’s in response to Chinese authorities expanding covid-19 restrictions and control measures China is reporting a surging number of cases of the CCP virus some Chinese netizens replied to the embassy’s Twitter post pleading for assistance one user asked every civilized and Democratic Nation to help Chinese citizens
And for more on this we would like to bring in Grant newsham he is a senior fellow at the center for security policy good morning Grant good morning well first of all these kind of national protests with that many people all across China on the streets directly calling out the regime that’s really
Rarely seen in China and it’s a lot the largest since the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989 so do you think the Chinese regime should be worried oh I think that the Chinese regime is always worried when every anyone stands up to it they get worried even when uh
The U.S state Department or the White House spokesman stands up to it unfortunately neither of them do but this is a concern uh make no mistake for the the Chinese regime whether it’s a threat to the regime that’s debatable because given its coercive powers and his willingness to use Force violence
And even murder to get what it wants but this always rattles this undemocratic this regime in Beijing that was not chosen by the public in any way that a civilized people would recognize and so what will we see in response from the regime oh I think you’re going to see a sort of
They’ll hold off for a bit and then I would expect a very severe Crackdown at some point one thing about what’s going on is that information hard evidence is somewhat limited one hopes that the White House has more than John Kirby says they have but say hard evidence is is not
So plentiful but it wouldn’t surprise me if the other rest is far greater than the Western press has been able to pick up on but I would expect to crack down either really direct force of the kind at Tiananmen Square or as you saw in Hong Kong where life was made so miserable
For people who protested they were punished imprisoned their lives destroyed in some cases murdered so I think you the regime in Beijing is going to use all the force that it has against these people who just really want nothing more than Liberty and the sort of decent treatment of the sort that the
Civilized World recognizes right and I think that plays into a little bit into my next question because do you think it would be enough these are covered uh restriction protests but do you think it would be enough to satisfy the protesters if the regime would ease just ease covet
Restrictions in response to that oh that would help but I don’t know that that’s enough um this is presented as a public health issue where the Communist Regime wants to eliminate covid I’m not so sure of that rather I think it is the setting up of more of a really a clandestine
Infrastructure for population control monitoring imprisonment coercion and and even just concentration camps on a mass scale that the world has never seen I think there’s more to it’s about power rather than a public health issue but letting up on these uh sort of these the restrictions really the imprisonment of
Hundreds of millions of people lifting up on that would have some benefits some Advantage for the regime but is that enough to suppress a people’s desire for freedom and that’s a broader question and I’ve never crowned across any race or group of people that enjoy being imprisoned enjoy being mistreated the
Chinese people are not not an exception to that rule and you just mentioned just before we go you mentioned power of the Communist party but why do you think is Xi Jinping sticking with the zero covert policy despite you know all the social unrest and the con really the economic pain
Well it has really hurt the economy and I think that it is as I said more about control it is about establishing his and the Communist party or the top leadership dominance over the entire Chinese population that’s what I see it’s really a this is an effort to
Control it’s not about public health and trying to make covid go away or even because Xi Jinping would be embarrassed if he had to admit that he he can’t destroy a a virus as I said I think it is a there’s a larger game afoot and
It’s been in in the works for a long time but now this regime has the technological capacity to try and dominate to control monitor a society that has never existed to me that’s what I see going on so we’ll see how this plays out but I would do wish the U.S government
Would actually speak up on the side of decency uh really watching the White House spokesman watching the state department uh this is just an absolute embarrassment any American ought to be embarrassed but embarrassed by this well let’s see how all of this will play out thank you so much very interesting

Civilization he says if free speed Beach is lost even in America tyranny is all that lies ahead Richard Stern an analyst from the Heritage Foundation spoke with NTD Stefania Cox he says the Biden Administration is putting pressure on companies and using the weight of the government to threaten them to follow
Their political whim you can only surmise why Apple’s doing that but the truth is we all see what’s happening here is that companies are bowing to this pressure from the government trying to act in a dictatorial fashion to force companies that have been to their will Biden said musk’s acquisition of Twitter
Is worth being looked at when asked if Elon Musk is a threat to National Security White House Press Secretary Kareem Jean-Pierre said Monday that the administration is keeping a close eye on Twitter regarding misinformation and hate speech the president has been very clear on calling that out he’ll continue
