Advertisers flee a pro-Beijing TV station

And a surprise star in the live action Mulan

That and more on this week's China news headlines.

This is China Uncensored, I'm Chris Chappell.

The Chinese Communist Party likes to think of itself

China should have the right to make demands of other countries.

After all, that's what's made America so beloved.

The US must cancel a 2 billion dollar weapons sale to Taiwan.

Yes, I'm sure Trump will take that under advisement.

This is the first major sale of US arms to Taiwan in decades.

It includes American anti-aircraft missiles and battle tanks.

Which unfortunately, is not as good as Japan's battleship girls.

But the Chinese demands don't stop at battleship girls.

China is also demanding an end to US tariffs.

True, the Chinese Communist Party hasn't actually agreed to

the reforms the US has demanded in return for ending tariffs.

But there's a long history of the Party not doing what the US demands,

so why shouldn't they keep getting away with it?

Anyway, Chinese diplomats are warning of disastrous consequences

But according to President Trump, trade talks are doing very well.

Which is also what he said at the end of May.

Trump is clearly a “glass half full” kind of guy.

But the tariffs may also be affecting demand...for Bibles.

some estimates put it at 150 million or more—

But proposed 25% tariffs on Chinese goods

also includes tariffs on all books printed in China.

According to Geof Morin, president and CEO of Biblica,

the tariff would “dramatically affect the number of Bibles

impacting the religious freedom of individuals in countries

where Bible access is limited and often nonexistent.”

It's a book tariff that affects all books.

And it just so happens that the two largest Bible publishers in the United States

are owned by the multi-billion dollar publishing conglomerate HarperCollins.

And HarperCollins might be hoping to keep making those big profits

and on all their other books that are printed in China, too.

But really, should the US government go soft on a regime that's closing churches,

jailing pastors, and even rewriting scripture?

I wonder what the Bible would have to say about that.

Hong Kong has erupted in protests over Beijing's growing influence in the city.

where Beijing lets Hong Kong keep its freedoms,

But when Hong Kong pop star and activist Denise Ho

the Chinese representative demanded she be quiet.

“The One Country, Two Systems is nearing its death,

In fact, the Chinese representative interrupted her twice.

Which was pretty impressive since her speech was only 90 seconds long.

Apparently, the Chinese side was upset at her

for “'baselessly' attacking the 'one country, two systems' arrangement.”

Meanwhile, more Hong Kong protesters have been arrested.

The protests mostly center around a proposed extradition bill

that could allow authorities to send people from Hong Kong to Mainland China for trial.

And Chinese courts have a 99.9% conviction rate.

However, in what Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam

clearly hopes will finally appease protesters,

But she has repeatedly refused to say the bill has been withdrawn,

which is the phrase everyone wants to hear.

“'The bill is dead is a political description and it is not legislative language,'

Civic Party lawmaker Alvin Yeung told the BBC,

adding that the bill was technically still in the process of a second reading.”
