  • VI. Developments in Hong Kong and Macau
    1 VI. Developments in Hong Kong and Macau Hong Kong During the Commission’s 2015 reporting year, massive pro- democracy demonstrations (‘‘Occupy Central’’ or the ‘‘Umbrella Movement’’) took place from September through December 2014, drawing attention to ongoing tensions over Hong Kong’s debate on electoral reform and Hong Kong’s autonomy from the Chinese cen- tral government under the ‘‘one country, two systems’’ approach. The Commission observed developments raising concerns that the Chinese and Hong Kong governments may have infringed on the rights of the people of Hong Kong, including in the areas of polit- ical participation and democratic reform, press freedom, and free- dom of assembly. UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE AND AUTONOMY Hong Kong’s Basic Law guarantees freedom of speech, religion, and assembly; promises Hong Kong a ‘‘high degree of autonomy’’; and affirms the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) applies to Hong Kong.1 The Basic Law also states that its ‘‘ultimate aim’’ is the election of Hong Kong’s Chief Execu- tive (CE) ‘‘by universal suffrage upon nomination by a broadly rep- resentative nominating committee in accordance with democratic procedures’’ and of the Legislative Council (LegCo) ‘‘by universal suffrage.’’ 2 The CE is currently chosen by a 1,200-member Election Committee,3 largely consisting of members elected in functional constituencies made up of professionals, corporations, religious and social organizations, and trade and business interest groups.4 Forty LegCo members are elected directly by voters and 30 by functional constituencies.5 The electors of many functional constituencies, however, reportedly have close ties to or are supportive of the Chi- nese government.6 Despite committing in principle to allow Hong Kong voters to elect the CE by universal suffrage in 2017, the Chinese govern- ment’s framework for electoral reform 7 restricts the ability of vot- ers to nominate CE candidates for election.

  • VI. Developments in Hong Kong and Macau
    VI. Developments in Hong Kong and Macau Findings • During the Commission’s reporting year, a number of deeply troubling developments in Hong Kong undermined the ‘‘one country, two systems’’ governance framework, which led the U.S. Secretary of State to find that Hong Kong has not main- tained a high degree of autonomy for the first time since the handover in July 1997. • On June 30, 2020, the National People’s Congress Standing Committee (NPCSC) passed the Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (National Security Law), by- passing Hong Kong’s Legislative Council. To the extent that this law criminalizes secession, subversion, terrorist activities, and collusion with foreign states, this piece of legislation vio- lates Hong Kong’s Basic Law, which specifies that Hong Kong shall pass laws concerning national security. Additionally, the National Security Law raises human rights and rule of law concerns because it violates principles such as the presumption of innocence and because it contains vaguely defined criminal offenses that can be used to unduly restrict fundamental free- doms. • The Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (PRC Liaison Office) declared in April 2020 that neither it nor the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office, both being State Council agencies, were subject to Article 22 of the Basic Law—a provision designed to protect Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy. The Hong Kong government had long interpreted the provision to cover the PRC Liaison Office, but it reversed itself overnight in an ap- parent attempt to conform its position to that of the central government.

  • Macau Leadership Styles and Practices: Empirical Investigations on Sino-Macanese Managerial Preferences
    Sander Schroevers, Jiatong Wang/ AU-HIU Journal Vol 1 No 1 (2021) 36-43 36 MACAU LEADERSHIP STYLES AND PRACTICES: EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATIONS ON SINO-MACANESE MANAGERIAL PREFERENCES Sander Schroevers1, Jiatong Wang2 Received: April 2021 Revised: June 2021 Accepted: July 2021 _______________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract This study maps the theoretical and nomological network around effective leadership styles in Macau. Since the return of the Macau peninsula to China in 1999, Europe’s oldest rear window on China has undergone significant geo-economic and social transformation. Today, nearly half of the population comprise Mainland Chinese immigrants, while around seventy percent of tourists come from the inland. In light of the central government in Beijing’s plans for the Greater Bay Area, the Belt Road Initiative and the Renminbi offshore centre in Macau, which, in turn, will increase the presence of mainland senior executives in Macau, it is of paramount importance to investigate the relationship between the prevailing leadership styles and practices in Macau and the socio-cultural leadership philosophies practiced in Mainland China. Below we discuss the implications of the substantive findings for our understanding of effective leadership practices for this Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Keywords: Leadership, Culture, Leadership style, Macao, Macau, China, HRM, Chinese management JEL Classification Code: F23 _________________________________________________________________________________________ e-Journal 1. Introduction The Macau peninsula is a small slice of Europe nestled in East Asia, which directly faces Hong Kong across the Pearl River estuary. With a population of a mere 650,000 and a total land mass of only thirty square km, Macau by most standards is incredibly small.

  • The Perceptions of Macao Undergraduates Regarding Help Websites for Problem Gambling
    The Perceptions of Macao Undergraduates Regarding Help Websites for Problem Gambling Chang Boon Patrick Lee Heng Tang Wing Han Brenda Chan Introduction Many young people are increasingly engaged in gambling (Welte et al., 2008). A survey conducted in Macao in 2013 showed that the gambling participation rate for those in the 22 to 29 age group was around 49 percent (ISCG, 2014). Another survey, also conducted in Macao, showed that 6.6 percent of students aged 12 to 22 had gambled online. Among them, 10.7 percent and 25 percent were problem and pathological gamblers respectively (Wong, 2010). When people start gambling at a young age, they are likely to persist gambling over time (Griffiths, 1995). They also have a higher likelihood of becoming problem gamblers (Winters et al., 2005). Problem gamblers tend to gamble more than they can afford and they run into debts. As a result, they often experience anxiety, poor mental health and other psychological and social problems. They may also have suicidal thoughts (Ledgerwood et al., 2005). When the young gamblers are in trouble, they may not be sure where to turn to for help as they may be fearful of confiding in their parents or elders (Kelsey, 2014). They may surf the Internet to look for help because it is a convenient place to do so and they can do it anonymously (Lee, 2011). Very little is known, however, about the types of help that are available online. There is also little research about the perceptions of young people regarding the online help organizations. Among the published research in this area, they have tended to address the Western contexts.
