  • I Want to Be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition
    Volume 6 Issue 1 2020 “I Want to be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition Charlene Peishan Chan [email protected] ISSN: 2057-1720 doi: 10.2218/ls.v6i1.2020.4398 This paper is available at: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/lifespansstyles Hosted by The University of Edinburgh Journal Hosting Service: http://journals.ed.ac.uk/ “I Want to be More Hong Kong Than a Hongkonger”: Language Ideologies and the Portrayal of Mainland Chinese in Hong Kong Film During the Transition Charlene Peishan Chan The years leading up to the political handover of Hong Kong to Mainland China surfaced issues regarding national identification and intergroup relations. These issues manifested in Hong Kong films of the time in the form of film characters’ language ideologies. An analysis of six films reveals three themes: (1) the assumption of mutual intelligibility between Cantonese and Putonghua, (2) the importance of English towards one’s Hong Kong identity, and (3) the expectation that Mainland immigrants use Cantonese as their primary language of communication in Hong Kong. The recurrence of these findings indicates their prevalence amongst native Hongkongers, even in a post-handover context. 1 Introduction The handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) in 1997 marked the end of 155 years of British colonial rule. Within this socio-political landscape came questions of identification and intergroup relations, both amongst native Hongkongers and Mainland Chinese (Tong et al. 1999, Brewer 1999). These manifest in the attitudes and ideologies that native Hongkongers have towards the three most widely used languages in Hong Kong: Cantonese, English, and Putonghua (a standard variety of Mandarin promoted in Mainland China by the Government).

WANG_2.9.21 2/10/2021 1:03 PM HONG KONG’S CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE UNDER CHINA’S AUTHORITARIANISM Shucheng Wang∗ ABSTRACT Acts of civil disobedience have significantly impacted Hong Kong’s liberal constitutional order, existing as it does under China’s authoritarian governance. Existing theories of civil disobedience have primarily paid attention to the situations of liberal democracies but find it difficult to explain the unique case of the semi-democracy of Hong Kong. Based on a descriptive analysis of the practice of civil disobedience in Hong Kong, taking the Occupy Central Movement (OCM) of 2014 and the Anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill (Anti-ELAB) movement of 2019 as examples, this Article explores the extent to which and how civil disobedience can be justified in Hong Kong’s rule of law- based order under China’s authoritarian system, and further aims to develop a conditional theory of civil disobedience for Hong Kong that goes beyond traditional liberal accounts.

  • Dilpreet Sambali
    Overcoming cultural shock through accepting a hybrid identity in Australia Dilpreet Sambali I still remember walking out of the airport, when the first gust of cool Australian breeze hit me. I gave out a sigh of relief as I thought about not having to breath Hong Kong’s muggy, humid air for six months. It felt surreal that I was finally here. Only three days before I was still worrying about whether I would receive my visa in time for the first week of the semester. I was oozing with excitement, thinking about the coming six months. I was eager and hopeful. I wanted to make lasting friendships, get out of my comfort zone and try new things. In the coming week, I joined every activity in the orientation week with the hope of meeting new people. While I didn’t mind being alone and traveling by myself, I didn’t want to leave Australia without making new friendships. I was also sure that I didn’t want to stick to other Hong Kong students which is why I didn’t try to find the other two exchange students from CUHK (something I regretted soon). However, I might have been too optimistic. Making friends wasn’t as easy as I had thought. I’m an awkwardly introverted person. I can barely even maintain eye contact while talking. Making friends and socializing certainly is not my strong suit. Being an “innate multicultural” doesn’t make it any easier. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Identity Crisis: the downside of growing up in a multi-cultural environment I am a third generation Punjabi born and raised in Hong Kong.

Overall, 26% of Hongkongers eat outside at least once a day. Hongkongers are also health-conscious when it comes to their food choices. In the age group between 50 and 64 year olds, 8/10 cite health and fitness as key priorities in their choices. These consumers purchase more e.g. organic breakfast cereal products, sugar-free juices, and nutritional supplements. This suggests that in the food and beverage, healthy food products, those promoting healthy diets, have future potential as this trend will be strengthening. Food in general is a major sales drive in health and wellness. People are proactively trying to prevent for instance chronic disease by their diet choices. They are concerned of chemical food additives and ingredients.

  • Hong Kong Protests
    Country Policy and Information Note China: Hong Kong protests Version 1.0 February 2020 Preface Purpose This note provides country of origin information (COI) and analysis of COI for use by Home Office decision makers handling particular types of protection and human rights claims (as set out in the basis of claim section). It is not intended to be an exhaustive survey of a particular subject or theme. It is split into two main sections: (1) analysis and assessment of COI and other evidence; and (2) COI. These are explained in more detail below. Assessment This section analyses the evidence relevant to this note – i.e. the COI section; refugee/human rights laws and policies; and applicable caselaw – by describing this and its inter-relationships, and provides an assessment on whether, in general: • A person is reasonably likely to face a real risk of persecution or serious harm • A person is able to obtain protection from the state (or quasi state bodies) • A person is reasonably able to relocate within a country or territory • Claims are likely to justify granting asylum, humanitarian protection or other form of leave, and • If a claim is refused, it is likely or unlikely to be certifiable as ‘clearly unfounded’ under section 94 of the Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Act 2002. Decision makers must, however, still consider all claims on an individual basis, taking into account each case’s specific facts. Country of origin information The country information in this note has been carefully selected in accordance with the general principles of COI research as set out in the Common EU [European Union] Guidelines for Processing Country of Origin Information (COI), dated April 2008, and the Austrian Centre for Country of Origin and Asylum Research and Documentation’s (ACCORD), Researching Country Origin Information – Training Manual, 2013.
