Section Iv : Concluding Remarks
SECTION IV : CONCLUDING REMARKS 1. Stage One of the public consultation programme for the HK2030 Study formally concluded in April 2001, having established a benchmark for future public consultation exercises. We consider that the public consultation programme has secured a sound basis for continuous dialogue with both the general public and stakeholder groups about the many issues raised by the study. The findings of the Stage One consultation process will serve as important input to the study process. 2. We are currently devoting our efforts to the examination of the key study areas and the many ideas/suggestions that have been received in the consultation exercise. 3. In addition to the examination of the key study areas, we are developing evaluation criteria based on the revised planning objectives. The issues identified in the study process and the evaluation criteria will be consolidated and presented for comment during the Stage Two public consultation exercise, which is scheduled to take place towards the end of 2001. 4. We hope this Stage One Public Consultation Report provides a solid foundation for further community discussion and exchange of views regarding the HK2030 Study. In this regard, we intend to organise a briefing for interested parties to explain and elaborate on the various responses provided in this report. Meanwhile, we welcome any further views which can be addressed to: HK2030 Feedback Co-ordinator Planning Department, Strategic Planning Section 16/F.

THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION CENTER FOR NORTHEAST ASIAN POLICY STUDIES The 2004 Legislative Council Elections and Implications for U.S. Policy toward Hong Kong Wednesday, September 15, 2004 Introduction: RICHARD BUSH Director, Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies The Brookings Institution Presenter: SONNY LO SHIU-HING Associate Professor of Political Science University of Waterloo Discussant: ELLEN BORK Deputy Director Project for the New American Century [TRANSCRIPT PREPARED FROM A TAPE RECORDING.] THE BROOKINGS INSTITUTION CENTER FOR NORTHEAST ASIAN POLICY STUDIES 1775 MASSACHUSETTS AVENUE, NW WASHINGTON, D.C. 20036 202-797-6307 P R O C E E D I N G S MR. BUSH: [In progress] I've long thought that politically Hong Kong plays a very important role in the Chinese political system because it can be, I think, a test bed, or a place to experiment on different political forums on how to run large Chinese cities in an open, competitive, and accountable way. So how Hong Kong's political development proceeds is very important for some larger and very significant issues for the Chinese political system as a whole, and therefore the debate over democratization in Hong Kong is one that has significance that reaches much beyond the rights and political participation of the people there. The election that occurred last Sunday is a kind of punctuation mark in that larger debate over democratization, and we're very pleased to have two very qualified people to talk to us today. The first is Professor Sonny Lo Shiu-hing, who has just joined the faculty of the University of Waterloo in Canada. -

Progress on Reading to Learn in Hong Kong Primary Schools
“The basis of their reading experience”: Progress on Reading to Learn in Hong Kong Primary Schools Po Shan Susana Lau Teacher Librarian HKIED Jockey Club Primary School Hong Kong Peter Warning Lecturer University of Hong Kong Hong Kong A key government education policy in Hong Kong is Reading to Learn, introduced in 2000. Cultivating an independent reading habit is identified as one of the “Seven Learning Goals” to be achieved by 2014. This paper reports the results of a small-scale pilot study designed to inform a more comprehensive future survey implemented jointly by the Education and Manpower Bureau and the Hong Kong Teacher Librarians Association to measure the effectiveness of Reading to Learn. Introduction “Were we to choose our leaders on the basis of their reading experience and not their political programs, there would be much less grief on earth.” Joseph Brodsky (Nobel Prize acceptance speech, 1987) A key government education policy – one of the “Four Key Tasks” – in Hong Kong is Reading to Learn , introduced in 2000. Cultivating an independent reading habit is identified as one of the “Seven Learning Goals” to be achieved by 2014 (EMB Education & Manpower Bureau, 2004). To provide support for Reading to Learn , government-funded primary schools in Hong Kong have been encouraged to appoint teacher librarians (TLs). The duties of the TLs are to manage their schools’ libraries and promote Reading to Learn . This paper reports the results of a small-scale pilot study designed to inform a more comprehensive future survey implemented jointly by the Education and Manpower Bureau (EMB) and the Hong Kong Teacher Librarians Association (HKTLA) to measure the effectiveness of Reading to Learn . -

Heightening Sense of Crises over Press Freedom in Hong Kong: Advancing “Shrinkage” 20 Years after Returning to China April 2018 YAMADA Ken-ichi NHK Broadcasting Culture Research Institute Media Research & Studies _____________________________ *This article is based on the same authors’ article Hong Kong no “Hodo no Jiyu” ni Takamaru Kikikan ~Chugoku Henkan kara 20nen de Susumu “Ishuku”~, originally published in the December 2017 issue of “Hoso Kenkyu to Chosa [The NHK Monthly Report on Broadcast Research]”. Full text in Japanese may be accessed at http://www.nhk.or.jp/bunken/research/oversea/pdf/20171201_7.pdf 1 Introduction Twenty years have passed since Hong Kong was returned to China from British rule. At the time of the 1997 reversion, there were concerns that Hong Kong, which has a laissez-faire market economy, would lose its economic vigor once the territory is put under the Chinese Communist Party’s one-party rule. But the Hong Kong economy has achieved generally steady growth while forming closer ties with the mainland. However, new concerns are rising that the “One Country, Two Systems” principle that guarantees Hong Kong a different social system from that of China is wavering and press freedom, which does not exist in the mainland and has been one of the attractions of Hong Kong, is shrinking. On the rankings of press freedom compiled by the international journalists’ group Reporters Without Borders, Hong Kong fell to 73rd place in 2017 from 18th in 2002.1 This article looks at how press freedom has been affected by a series of cases in the Hong Kong media that occurred during these two decades, in line with findings from the author’s weeklong field trip in mid-September 2017.
