To consolidate and strengthen Hong Kong’s ties with the Mainland and other countries and regions, the Chief Executive frequently receives representatives of governments, international organisations, the media and business communities, etc. from all over the world, including visitors from the Mainland and overseas. She also often meets with people from various sectors of the local community, including Members of the Legislative Council, representatives of business and industrial associations, professionals and media representatives. In view of the large number of organisations and people involved, we have not compiled information in this regard by reference to the organisations and individuals met. The Chief Executive receives a non-accountable entertainment allowance for meeting expenses on official entertainment held at the official residence. The amount of the allowance in 2020-21 was $982,400. In line with the Government’s green policy, public officers should as far as possible refrain from bestowing gifts or souvenirs on others in the conduct of official activities. According to the prevailing guidelines, where bestowal of gifts or souvenirs is necessary or unavoidable due to operational, protocol or other reasons, the gift or souvenir items should not be lavish or extravagant and the number should be kept to a minimum. Also, the exchange of gifts or souvenirs should only be made from organisation to organisation. The above requirements also apply to, and are being observed by, the Chief Executive’s Office.

    Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016

    Journal of US-China Public Administration, August 2016, Vol. 13, No. 8, 499-517 doi: 10.17265/1548-6591/2016.08.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016 Chung Fun Steven Hung The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong After direct elections were instituted in Hong Kong, politicization inevitably followed democratization. This paper intends to evaluate how political parties’ politics happened in Hong Kong’s recent history. The research was conducted through historical comparative analysis, with the context of Hong Kong during the sovereignty transition and the interim period of democratization being crucial. For the implementation of “one country, two systems”, political democratization was hindered and distinct political scenarios of Hong Kong’s transformation were made. The democratic forces had no alternative but to seek more radicalized politics, which caused a decisive fragmentation of the local political parties where the establishment camp was inevitable and the democratic blocs were split into many more small groups individually. It is harmful. It is not conducive to unity and for the common interests of the publics. This paper explores and evaluates the political history of Hong Kong and the ways in which the limited democratization hinders the progress of Hong Kong’s transformation. Keywords: election politics, historical comparative, ruling, democratization The democratizing element of the Hong Kong political system was bounded within the Legislative Council under the principle of the separation of powers of the three governing branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Popular elections for the Hong Kong legislature were introduced and implemented for 25 years (1991-2016) and there were eight terms of general elections for the Legislative Council.

HALLIDAY ABSTRACT: What does the rule of law mean in the Chinese context? Based on empirical research in Beijing and Hong Kong, this article exa - mines the various ways politically liberal lawyers in China make sense of the rule of law in their discourses and collective action. Although the rule of law is frequently invoked by lawyers as a legitimating discourse against the authoritarian state, its use in practice is primarily for ins - trumental purposes, as both a sword and a shield. For activist lawyers in Beijing, the pursuit of judicial independence is nothing but a distant dream involving a restructuring of the state, and they therefore focus their mobilisation for the rule of law around basic legal freedoms and the growth of civil society.
