First question. Provision of Land for Development of Cultural and Creative Industries 1. MR MA FUNG-KWOK (in Cantonese): President, the economic contribution of the cultural and creative industries (CCIs) in terms of percentage share in Gross Domestic Product increased from 3.8% in 2005 to 4.9% in 2012, and the employment in such industries as a percentage in the total employment during the same period increased from 5.1% to 5.5%. Some members of the industries have pointed out that although CCIs are emerging pillar industries of Hong Kong, the room for survival of such industries has been severely compressed and their development has been seriously constrained due to tight supply of land. In reply to my question in October last year, the Chief Executive indicated that the development of creative industries at the Lok Ma Chau Loop (the Loop) would be considered. Regarding the provision of land for the development of CCIs, will the Government inform this Council: (1) of the current progress of the planning work for the Loop; how CCIs are expected to benefit from the development of such area; whether the authorities have conducted any assessment on the land required for the development of such industries; if so, how such demand for land will be met; if not, of the reasons for that; (2) whether it has considered strengthening co-operation with the Mainland departments and, on the premise of comprehensive infrastructure, renting sites on the Mainland for establishing parks for emerging industries which will mainly be managed by the Hong Kong side, so as to take forward the development of CCIs of Hong Kong; and (3) whether the Consultative Committee on Economic and Trade Co-operation between Hong Kong and the Mainland (the Committee) has, since its establishment in October last year, discussed how to foster the development of CCIs; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that; given that some members of the industries have proposed the construction of a film and television LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 26 March 2014 8975 city in Nansha, whether the Committee has discussed this proposal; if so, of the details; if not, the reasons for that? SECRETARY FOR COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (in Cantonese): President, my reply to the questions raised by Mr MA Fung-kwok is as follows: (1) and (2) The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau is responsible for promoting the development of creative industries. Creative industries cover advertising, architecture, design, digital entertainment, film, music, publishing and printing, television, and so on. The Home Affairs Bureau supports the development of the art and culture in Hong Kong, covering performing arts, visual arts, literary arts and intangible cultural heritage. Creative industries under the purview of the Commerce and Economic Development Bureau cover different sectors. The business nature and scale varies from one creative sector to another. Creative establishments are mostly small and medium enterprises or operated on a self-employed basis. With the exception of a small number of enterprises such as television stations, film studios, and so on, which require larger parcels of land, creative establishments are mainly scattered in commercial and industrial buildings in different districts. Hence, the demand of creative industries for office facilities and business premises has largely been reflected in Hong Kong's overall demand for commercial and industrial buildings. The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau has not conducted any specific assessment on the land required by creative industries. To develop creative clusters, the Government and relevant organizations offer support to selected creative sectors by provision of office facilities and support services. Cyberport and InnoCentre lease working space to digital entertainment and design companies respectively.

  • Contemporary China: a Book List
    PRINCETON UNIVERSITY: Woodrow Wilson School, Politics Department, East Asian Studies Program CONTEMPORARY CHINA: A BOOK LIST by Lubna Malik and Lynn White Winter 2007-2008 Edition This list is available on the web at: http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinabib.pdf which can be viewed and printed with an Adobe Acrobat Reader. Variation of font sizes may cause pagination to differ slightly in the web and paper editions. No list of books can be totally up-to-date. Please surf to find further items. Also consult http://www.princeton.edu/~lynn/chinawebs.doc for clicable URLs. This list of items in English has several purposes: --to help advise students' course essays, junior papers, policy workshops, and senior theses about contemporary China; --to supplement the required reading lists of courses on "Chinese Development" and "Chinese Politics," for which students may find books to review in this list; --to provide graduate students with a list that may suggest books for paper topics and may slightly help their study for exams in Chinese politics; a few of the compiler's favorite books are starred on the list, but not much should be made of this because such books may be old or the subjects may not meet present interests; --to supplement a bibliography of all Asian serials in the Princeton Libraries that was compiled long ago by Frances Chen and Maureen Donovan; many of these are now available on the web,e.g., from “J-Stor”; --to suggest to book selectors in the Princeton libraries items that are suitable for acquisition; to provide a computerized list on which researchers can search for keywords of interests; and to provide a resource that many teachers at various other universities have also used.
