  • The Portrayal of Female Officials in Hong Kong Newspapers
    Constructing perfect women: the portrayal of female officials in Hong Kong newspapers Francis L.F. Lee CITY UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG, HONG KONG On 28 February 2000, the Hong Kong government announced its newest round of reshuffling and promotion of top-level officials. The next day, Apple Daily, one of the most popular Chinese newspapers in Hong Kong, headlined their full front-page coverage: ‘Eight Beauties Obtain Power in Newest Top Official Reshuffling: One-third Females in Leadership, Rarely Seen Internationally’.1 On 17 April, the Daily cited a report by regional magazine Asiaweek which claimed that ‘Hong Kong’s number of female top officials [is the] highest in the world’. The article states that: ‘Though Hong Kong does not have policies privileging women, opportunities for women are not worse than those for men.’ Using the prominence of female officials as evidence for gender equality is common in public discourse in Hong Kong. To give another instance, Sophie Leung, Chair of the government’s Commission for Women’s Affairs, said in an interview that women in Hong Kong have space for development, and she was quoted: ‘You see, Hong Kong female officials are so powerful!’ (Ming Pao, 5 February 2001). This article attempts to examine news discourses about female officials in Hong Kong. Undoubtedly, the discourses are complicated and not completely coherent. Just from the examples mentioned, one could see that the media embrace the relatively high ratio of female officials as a sign of social progress. But one may also question the validity of treating the ratio of female officials as representative of the situation of gender (in)equality in the society.

    Past and future justifications for Functional Constituencies – An Analysis through the Performance of Functional Constituencies Legislators (2004-2006) Marcos Van Rafelghem and P Anson Lau Past and Future Justifications for Functional Constituencies – An analysis through the performance of functional constituency legislators in 2004-2006 Marcos Van Rafelghem and P Anson Lau November 2006 www.civic-exchange.org Civic Exchange Room 701, Hoseinee House, 69 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong. Tel: (852) 2893 0213 Fax: (852) 3105 9713 Civic Exchange is a non-profit organisation that helps to improve policy and decision-making through research and analysis. The views expressed in this report are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the opinions of Civic Exchange. Preface This research paper seeks to continue our work in understanding the Functional Constituencies as an important feature of Hong Kong’s political system. As a result of our extensive research on the subject from 2004, the issues and problems surrounding the election system that generates functional representation in the Hong Kong Legislative Council, the performance of functional legislators, and the impacts they and the election system have on Hong Kong’s development as a whole are becoming clear. The challenge facing Hong Kong today is what to do with the Functional Constituencies as the political system continues to evolve towards universal suffrage. This paper concludes that by developing political parties in Hong Kong the various political and ideological differences would ensure the various interests are still represented in the legislature without recourse to the problematic Functional Constituencies. The conclusion points to the need for work on alternative solutions to the Functional Constituencies.
