  • For Discussion on 28 October 2008 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL
    For discussion on 28 October 2008 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL PANEL ON DEVELOPMENT Development of Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai Boundary Control Point PURPOSE This paper briefs Members on the development of Liantang/Heung Yuen Wai boundary control point (LT/HYW BCP). BACKGROUND 2. On 27 May 2008, we briefed Members on the work of Hong Kong-Shenzhen (HK-SZ) Joint Task Force on Boundary District Development (港深邊界區發展聯合專責小組) (the JTF). Members were informed of the progress of two related planning studies on the proposed BCP at LT/HYW: the “SZ-HK Joint Preliminary Planning Study on Developing LT/HYW BCP” and the internal “Planning Study on LT/HYW BCP and Its Associated Connecting Roads in HK”. 3. Both studies were completed in June 2008. The HK Special Administrative Region Government (HKSARG) and the SZ Municipal People’s Government jointly announced the implementation of the new BCP after the second meeting of the JTF on 18 September 2008. Both sides will proceed with their detailed planning and design work with an aim to commence operation of the new BCP in 2018. A Working Group on Implementation of LT/HYW BCP (蓮塘/香園圍口岸工程實施工作小組) has been set up under the JTF to co-ordinate works of both sides. A LegCo brief summarizing the findings of the studies and scope of the new BCP development was issued on the announcement day (Appendix 1). 4. On the HK side, the development of LT/HYW BCP comprises the construction of a BCP with a footprint of about 18 hectares (including an integrated passenger clearance hall), a dual 2-lane trunk road of about 10 km in length, and improvement works to SZ River of about 4 km in length.

Abstract Hong Kong’s “One Country, Two Systems” government regime will end by 2047and it will promote the country’s integration into the People’s Republic of China (PRC). To ensure a smooth transition, by eliminating the border and other forms of geographic barriers that separate the two countries, the PRC has been issuing measures to promote integration. However, despite on-going practices of integration, Hong Kong continues to strengthen its border with China through infrastructural and bureaucratic means, reinforcing a British-colonial era border regime. Thus, my research focuses on this contradiction between the elimination and reinforcement of the Hong Kong-China border as an attempt to understand the socio-political forces that have produced this dynamic.
