First question. Development of Data Centres in Hong Kong 1. MR FREDERICK FUNG (in Cantonese): President, on the 11th of last month, I raised a question on the grant of the sites in the Industrial Estates (IEs) under the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC) for the development of data centres. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council: (1) as the authorities replied that "HKSTPC has previously conducted investigations into some suspected cases of letting or subletting the premises to a third party. Individual grantees which were substantiated to be in breach of the terms and conditions of the lease ('lease-breaching') have rectified the breach upon follow-up by HKSTPC. HKSTPC will continue to monitor the operation of data centres in the IEs and take follow-up actions according to the lease agreement as appropriate", whether the Government knows the details of the lease-breaching cases in the past three years and the mechanism for imposing penalties on the lease-breaching grantees, including the penalties for a first breach and for repeated breaches, as well as the circumstances under which the sites will be recovered; LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 25 March 2015 7881 whether the various lease agreements entered with the grantees contain such penalty clauses; if so, of the details; if not, whether HKSTPC will consider including such clauses; if HKSTPC will not, of the reasons for that; (2) given that on the one hand, HKSTPC needs to attract investors to IEs for income generation and, on the other, is responsible for monitoring the companies to which IE sites are granted to see if there is any breach of the lease, how the authorities avoid HKSTPC's performance of such dual functions giving rise to conflicts of roles and interests; and (3) whether "the provision of a fair business environment" is a consideration and a principle adopted when the authorities formulated the strategies for promoting the development of data centres; if so, given that HKSTPC has granted IE sites for premiums that are below market value and thus attracted quite a number of multinational enterprises to set up data centres in its IEs, whether the authorities have assessed if such practice has put operators who set up data centres outside IEs on an unlevel playing field; if there is such an unfair situation, whether the authorities will conduct a comprehensive review of the strategies concerned with a view to creating a fair and transparent business environment? SECRETARY FOR COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (in Cantonese): President, to address the demand for land from the local manufacturing industry, the Government developed the Industrial Estate (IE) Programme in the 1970s with the following objectives: (a) underpinning wider economic development through broadening the industrial/manufacturing base and upgrading technology levels; and (b) providing land for manufacturing industries with special needs which could not operate in flatted factories or should be located away from urban areas because of the need for more horizontal space, high floor loading, greater headroom requirements and/or environmental considerations. 7882 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 25 March 2015 At present, the Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTPC) is responsible for administering the three IEs in Tai Po (TPIE), Yuen Long (YLIE) and Tseung Kwan O (TKOIE), offering a total of 217 hectares of land for long lease until 2047.

  • Monthly Report HK
    January 2011 in Hong Kong 31.1.2011 / No 85 A condensed press review prepared by the Consulate General of Switzerland in HK Economy + Finance HK still ranked world's freest economy: HK remains the world’s freest economy for the 17th straight year and ranked 1st out of 41 countries – according to a report released by the Heritage Foundation and the Wall Street Journal. The city’s score remains unchanged from last year at 89.7 out of 100 in the 2011 Index of Economic Freedom, with small declines in the score for government spending and labour freedom offsetting improvements in fiscal freedom, monetary freedom, and freedom from corruption. The report said HK is one of the world’s most competitive financial and business centres, demonstrating a high degree of resilience during the global financial crisis. City casts off shadow of global financial crisis: HK's economy is rebounding from the aftermath of the global financial crisis, with the public coffers enjoying the first eight-month surplus in three years. The latest announcement showed a far better financial picture than the government had forecast. In his budget speech in February, Financial Secretary John Tsang projected a net deficit of HK$25.2 billion for the current financial year. However, consensus estimates among most accounting firms now put the full financial year budget at a surplus of at least HK$60 billion. The reserves stood at HK$537 billion as of November 30, compared to HK$455.5 billion a year earlier. HK jobless rate falls to 4pc: HK's unemployment rate declined from 4.1 per cent in September to November last year to 4.0 per cent in October to December last year.

  • Hong Kong Youth Radicalization from the Perspective of Relative Deprivation
    Contemporary Chinese Political Economy and Strategic Relations: An International Journal Vol. 4, No. 2, July/Aug. 2018, pp. 451-485 __________________________________________________________ Hong Kong Youth Radicalization from the Perspective of Relative Deprivation Łukasz Zamęcki* University of Warsaw Abstract The aim of this paper is to highlight the influence of relative deprivation (RD), observed amongst a number of Hongkongese youth, on the process of radicalization of Hong Kong politics. The thesis of this paper is that the political radicalization of youth, noticeable particularly in recent years (e.g. more violent protests, the growth of nativist and localist organizations and the flourishing idea of self-determination of Hong Kong), can be an effect of RD. The findings conclude that the feeling of deprivation amongst youth refers to two spheres: “political values” and “welfare values”. The former concern the expectations of democratization of the political system and the latter relate to the feeling of dismantling the economic status and cultural identity of Hongkongers. The results of this paper are based on a small-range qualitative research (focus groups, in-depth interviews) conducted in April 2014, November 2015 and September 2016 on the group of HK students, scholars, journalists, and politicians. The analysis leads to the conclusion that without real changes in the political system of Hong Kong, the level of radicalization might further increase in the coming years. 451 452 Łukasz Zamęcki Keywords: relative deprivation, political radicalization, contentious politics, Hong Kong politics 1. Introduction In recent years, one could observe more transgressive instruments of manifestation of own political ideas by the young citizens of Hong Kong.
