Summary of the impact Policies for the telecommunications sector within the significant Closer Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) cross-border trade agreement between Hong Kong and mainland China have been influenced by research by Xu Yan, linked to his earlier studies on telecommunications policy in Hong Kong and mainland China carried out at HKUST. Such work has had impact on policy by informing senior government policymakers locally and nationally through recommendations on how to liberalize the Chinese telecommunications market under CEPA, and contributed to economic impact following the opening up of this sector to Hong Kong investors under the agreement, mainly in value-added services and particularly in Guangdong Province. 2.

Xu’s distinctive perspective on this area draws on his in-depth east-west knowledge resulting from previous working experience in the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of China and its affiliated university, doctoral studies on telecommunications policy in the UK, and a dedicated research focus on telecommunications market over the past 15 years, with almost all of his publications up to 2015 centered on this area and related issues.

  • Guidance Notes for the Management of Indoor Air Quality in Offices and Public Places
    Guidance Notes for the Management of Indoor Air Quality in Offices and Public Places The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Indoor Air Quality Management Group January 2019 FOREWORD In modern city life, the quality of air in the indoor environment has a significant impact on human health and comfort. People spend most of their time at homes, offices and other indoor environment. Poor indoor air quality (IAQ) can lead to discomfort, ill health, and, in the workplace, lead to absenteeism and lower productivity. Good indoor air quality safeguards the health of the building occupants and contributes to their comfort and well-being. Indoor air pollution has received little attention in the past compared with air pollution in the outdoor environment. It has now become a matter of increasing public concern, prompted partly by the emergence of new indoor air pollutants, by the isolation of the indoor environment from the natural outdoor environment in well-sealed buildings, and by the investigation of so-called Sick Building Syndrome. The World Health Organization (WHO) also recognises that biological and chemical indoor air pollution as public health risks. The health effects of individual indoor air pollutants are studied extensively. For example, the health impact of formaldehyde is well documented. Two guidelines were published by WHO in 2009 and 2010 respectively on mould and dampness, and selected indoor air pollutants. On the other hand, the health effects of a combination of indoor air pollutants are much less well understood and more difficult to tackle. This is due to the shortage of reliable data on the effects on human health; difficulties in accurately measuring air pollutants at low levels; potential interactions between pollutants; and wide variations in the degree to which building occupants are susceptible to air pollutants.
