  • Insights for Intra-Party Tensions?
    Hong Kong as a proxy battlefield Insights for Intra-Party tensions? Zhang Xiaoming 张晓明, the director of the State Council Hong Kong and Macau Affairs Office 国务 院港澳办, was replaced a few days ago, as vice-director of the small leading group of the same name, by the current Minister of Public Security, Zhao Kezhi 赵克志. That said, it seems Hong Kong’s issues run deeper than just a few personnel appointments. Is the special administrative zone becoming a proxy battleground for opposing political forces inside the Party? The timeline and people involved suggest that parts of the ongoing crisis might have been made by design by outgoing political networks amid the anti-corruption campaign. From the selection of Carrie Lam 林郑月娥, the underpinnings of the Hong Kong and Macau affairs system, to the bid for the London Stock Exchange, there is more than meets the eye. The “Manchurian” Candidate and the Jiangpai From the beginning, the opinion was that Madame Lam would be a short-live replacement for Liang Zhenying 梁振英. Carrie Lam, who actually joined the protest – even for a brief moment – for universal suffrage back in 2014, stayed close to the negotiation with Beijing, unlike some of her counterparts who were refused entry in Shenzhen back in 2015. She then became one of the favorite faces of the administration, especially in late 2016, when Liang Zhenying1 announced he would not be running for re-election. Liang, a representative of the “old regime” – associated with both Zeng Qinghong 曾庆红2 and Zhang Dejiang 张德江, was creating issues leading to the deterioration of the situation in Hong Kong (i.e.

  • Honorary Doctor of Laws the Hon Jasper TSANG Yok-Sing Citation Written and Delivered by Professor WANG Guiguo
    Honorary Doctor of Laws The Hon Jasper TSANG Yok-sing Citation written and delivered by Professor WANG Guiguo Pro-Chancellor: When we visited Mr Jasper Tsang Yok-sing, we found a man in his sixties with a lean countenance and a gentlemanly demeanour. He talked freely with us about his past, sometimes with quiet confidence and sometimes with passionate eloquence. These are qualities he has shown through all the ups and downs of his political career, which he has weathered calmly and imperturbably. Mr Tsang was born in Guangzhou and came to live in Hong Kong with his parents when he was two years old. His father was employed as a clerk with the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, while his mother was a housewife who devoted herself to the well-being of her husband and children. Because of the education he had received within the family, Mr Tsang developed a strong interest in classical Chinese literature while he was still a small child and acquired a solid knowledge of the Chinese classics. He also benefited greatly from the wisdom of the ancient sages, who provided him with clear guidelines for his future life. After he entered St Paul’s College, he came under the influence of the school’s western liberal policies, and established a literary society, the Bell of Enlightenment. The name was taken from a sentence in the Analects: “The country has long strayed from the way of righteousness; Heaven has ordained Confucius to be the Bell of Enlightenment.” The society had an independent editorial board whose publications provided a platform for young people to express their views and criticise the wrongs of contemporary society.
