Blacklisted Hong Kong business owner stands up to Chinese authorities | 60 Minutes Australia

herbert let's talk about some of the interpretation of of what the communist party is doing around town at the moment i mean your brand chicky duck the communist party seemed to be offended by a cartoon character how is this possible well apart from children where we also started back in december of 2020 a t-shirt line and also a range of of iron on patches and souvenirs supporting local artists that tells hong kong people to continue to love hong kong don't leave continue to speak up fight for freedom fight for your rights the day when they came into my shop on the 6th of may they had a product search warrant claiming that there were products that are suspected to be in violation of the national security law and one and a half hours later they found nothing took nothing away and this is how ridiculous i find it to be they're trying to tell me that your little business merchant shut up stop selling these products or we'll have more on you but the communists can just make the laws up as they go along they try to move it to your feet so that you step on it but i can't live like this lime i i just have to live on the law that i understand and if they want to move the red line to my feet and arrest me then they really have to make something up and if they decided to make something up to arrest a tiny little businessman i think they have a heavier price to pay than myself ending up in prison but that's a heck of a lot of power isn't it well power that uh has trickled a lot of ridiculous actions from the other side which i think increasingly is helping us gain more traction in support across the people of hong kong that's the way i see it i think if xi jinping patiently listens to us he will find that there are some mistakes in the policy that has been taken if he really wants what is good for hong kong i think he really should get his hand dirty and start talking to the other side i think the answer is eventually regime will change and i personally actually think that it's going to be sooner than later what makes you say that because i am beginning to feel that uh even some of the pro-government friends around me are feeling the disgust i think you're incredibly brave but let's face it you are but a pebble in the boot of china aren't you even smaller than the pebble line tiny little drop of sand but we have five million or even in my opinion close to six million of these tiny little drop of sand so they're gonna have to deal with us hello i'm tara brown thanks for watching 60 minutes australia subscribe to our channel now for brand new stories and exclusive clips every week and don't miss out on our extra minutes segments and full episodes of 60 minutes on nine now dot com dot a u and the nine now app
