First question. Hung Hom Station Extension works under the Shatin to Central Link project 1. MR MICHAEL TIEN (in Cantonese): In May 2018, works quality problems were uncovered in respect of the construction works at and near the Hung Hom Station Extension under the Shatin to Central Link project. The independent commission of inquiry set up by the Government for this matter submitted its final report in March this year. The report has pointed out that the MTR Corporation Limited ("MTRCL") and its contractor, Leighton Contractors (Asia) Limited ("Leighton"), were responsible for the serious deficiencies in their management and supervision systems, and the Government as the overseer, had to bear a measure of responsibility. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (1) given that project mismanagement on the part of MTRCL has led to a number of works quality problems and a delay of commissioning of the rail line, whether the Government will consider not paying MTRCL any amount of the management fees for the entire works project; if it will still pay such fees, whether the reason therefor is that the Government is still satisfied with MTRCL's performance; (2) given that Leighton, as the contractor of the works project, has failed to fully comply with the procedures and requirements which aim to ensure works quality and structural safety, thereby compromising its integrity, and yet it is learnt that the Government has so far not completely disqualified Leighton and its related companies from tendering for public works projects, whether the Government will consider imposing heavier punishments on Leighton, including blacklisting Leighton and its related companies to permanently bar them from tendering for all public works and railway projects; if not, of the reasons for that; and (3) given that as the overseer of the project, the Government has failed to play the role of an active participant, whether the Government LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ― 3 June 2020 7517 will consider holding accountable the main government officials who were then involved (e.g. making a public condemnation); if so, of the specific actions to be taken; if not, the justifications for that? SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT AND HOUSING (in Cantonese): The Commission of Inquiry into the Construction Works at and near the Hung Hom Station Extension under the Shatin to Central Link Project ("The Commission") submitted its final report ("the Final Report") to the Chief Executive on 27 March this year. After redacting several parts therein to avoid any prejudice to relevant criminal investigations and any potential prosecutions of any criminal offences, the report was published on 12 May this year. The Government welcomes the Commission's conclusion that, with the "suitable measures" in place, the station box (i.e. the diaphragm walls and platform slabs of the Hung Hom Station Extension), North Approach Tunnels, South Approach Tunnels and Hung Hom Stabling Sidings structures will be safe and also fit for purpose. The Government also respects and is actively following up with the Commission's comments and recommendations. We will give a detailed account of the follow-up actions on the recommendations in the Commission's Final Report at the Legislative Council Subcommittee on Matters Relating to Railways meeting on 5 June. The expenses relating to the Hung Hom Station Extension incident are estimated at about $2 billion.

  • Media and Communication in the Chinese Diaspora
    Media and Communication in the Chinese Diaspora The rise of China has brought about a dramatic increase in the rate of migration from mainland China. At the same time, the Chinese government has embarked on a full-scale push for the internationalization of Chinese media and culture. Media and communication have therefore become crucial factors in shaping the increasingly fraught politics of transnational Chinese communities. This book explores the changing nature of these communities and reveals their dynamic and complex relationship to the media in a range of countries worldwide. Overall, the book highlights a number of ways in which China’s “going global” policy interacts with other factors in sig- nificantly reshaping the content and contours of the diasporic Chinese media landscape. In doing so, this book constitutes a major rethinking of Chinese transnationalism in the twenty-first century. Wanning Sun is Professor of Media and Communication Studies at the University of Technology, Sydney. John Sinclair is an Honorary Professorial Fellow at the University of Melbourne.

  • China Downs South Korea 3-0 in East Asian Men's Football Championship 08:36, February 11, 2010
    China downs South Korea 3-0 in East Asian Men's Football Championship 08:36, February 11, 2010 China's Rong Hao(R) vies with a player of South Korea during their Men's East Asian Championship soccer match in Tokyo February 10, 2010. China defeated South Korea 3-0. (Xinhua/Ji Chunpeng) China stunned South Korea 3-0 in the East Asian Men's Soccer Championship here on Wednesday, ending an embarrassing 32-year-long head-to-head winless record in international matches. China started aggressively into the game. In the fifth minute, Qu Bo crossed the ball from the right. Midfielder Yu Hai jumped for a header to open the scoring. Twenty minutes later, Gao Lin moved quickly in front of the goal to flicked the ball into the net, widening the lead of the Chinese team. Deng Zhuoxiang consolidated China's victory with a perfect teamplay counter-attack with Qu Bo. Deng dribbled the ball to reach the area, and launched a powerful left-foot slammer, which duly rewrote the score. The win gave the Chinese team a lot of joy at a time when China's football was marred by a series of scandals and the team's ranking kept sliding internationally. However, coach Gao Hongbo remain cool-headed after the unexpected victory. "I was happy for about 10 minutes," he told a post-match press conference. "But now I feel the pressure was greater than before." "China is still lagging behind Japan and South Korea in football development. All the colleagues working in this field need to work harder to further improve our football level." he said.
