The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY of ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University Ofhong Kong
The Globalization of Chinese Food ANTHROPOLOGY OF ASIA SERIES Series Editor: Grant Evans, University ofHong Kong Asia today is one ofthe most dynamic regions ofthe world. The previously predominant image of 'timeless peasants' has given way to the image of fast-paced business people, mass consumerism and high-rise urban conglomerations. Yet much discourse remains entrenched in the polarities of 'East vs. West', 'Tradition vs. Change'. This series hopes to provide a forum for anthropological studies which break with such polarities. It will publish titles dealing with cosmopolitanism, cultural identity, representa tions, arts and performance. The complexities of urban Asia, its elites, its political rituals, and its families will also be explored.

Apart from our outstanding teaching and learning, and our internationalisation efforts being brought to a new height, the many research and knowledge transfer (KT) achievements outlined here will leave you in no doubt why Forbes included Lingnan University in its list of the “Top 10 Liberal Arts Colleges in Asia” in 2015. Whether judged by our track record in obtaining local and international funds for impactful research, partnership in the London-based Centre for Global Higher Education or the distinguished scholars we regularly attract, Lingnan University is making its mark as a world-class liberal arts institution of higher education. -
Academic Freedom in Hong Kong Since 2015: Between Two Systems
Academic Freedom in Hong Kong since 2015: Between Two Systems Kevin Carrico January 2018 Hong Kong Watch Academic Freedom in Hong Kong 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The state of academic freedom in Hong Kong is a microcosm of the state of “one country, two systems” as a whole. It is alive, and generally well, but only due to constant public vigilance against growing threats. Hong Kong’s students and scholars played a central role in the 2014 Occupy protests for political reform. As a result, since early 2015, a growing top-down backlash has attempted to limit academic freedom and bring academia under the authorities’ control. This post-Occupy retribution is manifested in the following trends: • Controversial academic figures have been removed from their posts, seen promotions blocked, or faced extra-legal campaigns to pressure their removal. These were all driven by political motivations. • State-appointed and politically connected figures have governed universities in a manner divorced from the will of students and faculty. • There is a growing push to place limits on freedom of speech, without any legal basis. Although academic work in Hong Kong remains considerably freer than in the rest of the People’s Republic of China, these trends suggest that elements of academic control in place elsewhere in China are gradually being incorporated into the Hong Kong system, threatening the city’s academic freedom and thus its universities’ reputations. POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS • Educators must directly and openly confront “taboo” topics in Hong Kong, or run the risk of enabling a censorship regime that will continually expand, swallowing up new topics as forbidden. -

What could be better news than Cour outstanding rankings achievement – No.9 MBA program in the world and the best in Asia. Thanks are certainly due to the Class of FT06 who participated in the Financial Times survey to make this a reality. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all alumni who have been supporting the School in so many different ways. Everyone deserves to feel proud of where we are today – a World Top 10 business school. While we are very happy to have achieved the Top 10 ranking ahead of schedule, our target is sustainability. This means we are continually developing in order to look beyond and stay ahead. Recent innovations include 12 further electives that are China/Asia related, new required courses on China business and responsible leadership, and a “Case Center” which contributes materials to the MBA program, ensuring it is grounded in the actual problems students will face in their Asian and global careers. -

In the past year issues such as the increasingly strained relationship between the Legislature and the Executive Authorities, filibustering by a few Members in Council and committees, differences and polarized opinions among political camps often took the limelight. Despite these challenges, Members continued to carry out work in scrutinizing legislative and financial proposals, monitoring the Government and giving views on public policies and matters of public concern. In the 2013-2014 legislative session, the Council passed 19 bills, 10 with amendments. Some of these bills, such as the Stamp Duty (Amendment) Bill 2012 and the Stamp Duty (Amendment) Bill 2013 which implemented measures to address the overheated property market, have far-reaching effects across society.
