    ATTACHMENT B ATTACHMENT B REPORT ON 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SYDNEY-GUANGZHOU SISTER-CITY RELATIONSHIP ATTACHMENT B Overseas Travel Report 30TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SYDNEY-GUANGZHOU SISTER-CITY RELATIONSHIP — Report for Lord Mayor Clover Moore & Councillor Robert Kok EXECUTIVE SUMMARY From Sunday 29 May to Friday 3 June 2016, as Lord Mayor I led a 100-person delegation to China with Councillor Kok for a Sydney Week in Guangzhou to celebrate the 30th anniversary of our Sister City relationship with Guangzhou. Over the past 30 years, there have been many successful visits between the two cities, furthering our economic and cultural relations. In May 2014, I signed a memorandum of understanding with former Mayor of Guangzhou Chen Jianhua, further strengthening ties and collaboration on education, trade, culture, business and sustainability. Sydney and Guangzhou are natural partners. Both are outward-looking, economically-dynamic cities with thriving services and innovation sectors. This milestone presents a significant opportunity to promote Sydney’s global economy and world-class cultural institutions in southern China. Guangzhou is a city of over 13 million people, in a province of 110 million. We have close historic ties and many of our international students, visitors and business partners come from southern China. Image 1: Visit to Guangzhou People's Government with Guangzhou Mayor Mr Wen Guohui. 1 | Page ATTACHMENT B NSW is also a sister state to Guangdong Province. Signed in 1979, the NSW-Guangdong relationship is underpinned by yearly meetings promoting economic collaboration between the two economies. This was a significant campaign promoting Sydney’s economy overseas and our events – a business summit, sustainability forum, alumni reunion, Sydney Symphony concert and art exhibition – provided opportunities to celebrate and strengthen our longstanding economic, cultural and civic connections with Guangzhou.

  • Re-Examining Teaching and Learning in Citizenship Education: a Tale of Two Chinese Cities
    Re-examining teaching and learning in citizenship education: a tale of two Chinese cities Law, W.-W., & Xu, S. (2020). Re-examining Citizenship Education Teaching and Learning: A Tale of Two Chinese Cities. Journal of Curriculum Studies, 52(1), 138-159. This article compares and re-examines citizenship education (CE) teaching and learning in Hong Kong (HK) and Guangzhou (GZ), China. It questions two stereotypical perceptions – that China schools indoctrinate students, and that CE lessons in HK are more open than those in mainland China. Data are drawn from some 30 lesson observations, 1,200 questionnaires, and 80 teacher/student interviews from six sampled HK and GZ schools. The findings suggest both cities are similar in terms of teaching/learning CE, due to globalization and domestic changes, and have similar CE conditions more conducive to open pedagogies (e.g., inquiry-based approaches) than indoctrination. HK’s greater socioeconomic openness does not ensure its CE is more open than GZ’s, for pedagogical and non-pedagogical reasons. Keywords: Citizenship education, pedagogies, indoctrination, inquiry-based approach, China This article compares citizenship education (CE) teaching and learning in Hong Kong (HK) and Guangzhou (GZ), China. CE equips students with civic/political knowledge, skills, attitudes, and dispositions (Banks 2008) demanded by social/political orders (Biesta 2009). Discourses on citizenship, globalization, and nationalism (e.g., Coulby and Zambeta 2005; Petrovic and Kuntz 2014) have dominated recent CE research, and international comparative CE studies have highlighted students’ civic knowledge, attitudes and engagement (Schulz et al. 2010; Schulz et al. 2017; Torney-Purta et al. 1999). However, concerns about CE pedagogy and effectiveness have emerged, sparking calls for more empirical research into CE teaching/learning (Evans 2006).

Hong Kong’s economy had a good start in early 2018 but suffered a sudden, fierce blow from China–United States trade tensions in the second half of the year. Since then, market confidence has been adversely affected. The economic growth rate has gone up and down like a roller coaster, dropping from 4.7% in the first quarter to 1.3% in the fourth quarter. This sudden crisis interrupted the operations of enterprises, and worse, Hong Kong has seen months of violent protests that began with opposition to a now-suspended extradition law and these are hurting the city’s economy and businesses. Various sectors have remained vigilant throughout these hard times. The CMA made no delay in liaising with the government to seek feasible solutions.
