It examines how missionaries acquired and utilized local properties, demonstrating how property acquisitions provided a testing ground for Sino-Western relations. While historians have typically focused on the ways that missionaries affected Chinese populations and policies, I instead argue that living and attempting to gain influence in Guangdong altered missionaries’ tactics and strategies in ways that had far-reaching consequences. The government of China (which over the course of my study changed from an empire to a republic) consistently attempted to restrict foreign missions’ right to purchase Chinese properties.

Tel: +852-2609-7750, Email: [email protected] 1 Founder Succession and Accounting Properties ABSTRACT Using a sample of 231 entrepreneurial firm successions in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Taiwan, we find that firms’ unsigned discretionary accruals decrease while timely loss recognition increases subsequent to successions, suggesting a shift in accounting toward a less insider-based system. We argue that the change in accounting properties is due to the loss of specialized assets in the succession process, such as the entrepreneur’s reputation and political/social networks, inducing the firm to adapt to market-based rather than relationship-based contracting.

  • Bob Nairn RJ Nairn C 2012 FREEMASONRY in the FAR
    Extract from World of Freemasonry (2 vols) Bob Nairn FREEMASONRY IN THE FAR EAST Introduction This paper deals with China, including Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, Vietnam, Japan and Korea. These nations have some of the longest recorded histories and earliest cultured civilizations and have emerged from being isolationist in protection of these cultures to being amongst the most powerful economic nations in the world despite their currently divergent forms of Government. Having repelled Western influence for many years it is interesting to examine how Freemasonry has fared in these countries. China History of China In between eras of multiple kings and warlords, Chinese dynasties have ruled all of China with, at times, Tibet, Mongolia, Bhutan, Vietnam, Korea, Thailand and parts of Burma and Malaya having their own Emperors as suzerain subjects to the Emperor of China. This began with the Qin Dynasty in 221 BC, which united the various warring kingdoms and created the first Chinese empire. Successive dynasties in Chinese history developed bureaucratic systems that enabled the Emperor of China to directly control vast territories. The conventional view of Chinese history is that of alternating periods of political unity and disunity, with China occasionally being dominated by Inner Asian peoples, most of whom were in turn assimilated into the Han Chinese population. The first contact with Europeans came when Vasco Da Gama set sail Eastwards at the same time as Columbus sailed for the West, both hoping to find the East Indies, and whereas Columbus discovered America, Da Gama discovered the Far East. Following on his discovery the Spanish settled in the Philippines and the Dutch in Java.

  • Thirty-Sixth Congregation
    THE CHINESE UNIVERSITY OF HONG KONG THIRTY-SIXTH CONGREGATION Conferment of the Degree of Doctor of Social Science, honorís causa A Citation Mrs. Esther Yewpick Lee Conceming the passage of time, the most used metaphor in the Chinese language is )t Ê,DlÊî (Time flies like an arrow). When looking back at the history of the University, the history of Hong Kong and indeed the history of the world, this phrase easily springs to mind. In October 1963, the month and year the University was established, Sir Alec Douglas-Home was taking over from Harold Macmillan as Prime Minister of Britain, President John Kennedy was nearing the end of his thousand days at the White House, and in China Liu Shaoqi and Deng Xiaoping were repairing the damage done to the country by the hasty Great Leap Forward. And Mr. Chancellor, in 1963, you yourself were serving your first posting in Beijing. In the month of October twenty-five years ago, the Chinese University of Hong Kong came into being at an inaugural congregation at the City Hall on the 17th day of the month. From that first congregation until his death twenty years later, in 1983, Dr. Richard Charles Lee was the Vice-Chairman of the University Council and he, besides bountiful donations to the University, gave also generously of his time and wise counsel. Giving him the emotional and moral support that he needed to discharge his many public and private duties was the woman the University is honouring today, Dr. Læe's widow, Mrs. Esther Yewpick Iæe.
