THE SECRETARY-GENERAL 19 November 2001 Dear Mr. Cha, I should like to thank you for your kind invitation for Nane and me to join you at the forthcoming International Conference on New Economy, Living Environment and Chinese Culture, to be held in Hangzhou from 19 to 22 May, 2002. We were also touched that you have invited us to spend part of our holiday in China, and I was, in addition, highly honoured to learn of the willingness of Zhejiang University to award me a degree, honoris causa. While Nane and I would have welcomed the opportunity to visit the beautiful West Lake region of China, especially at the more relaxed pace of vacationers, I am sure you will understand that at the present juncture, my schedule will not permit me to attend the International Conference on New Economy, Living Environment and Chinese Culture. I hope that at some point in the future we will be in a better position to take you up on your very kind offer of hospitality. Allow me, in closing, to extend to you and the other organizers my best wishes for a highly successful conference. I look forward to hearing about the outcomes of the important discussions that will be held at that time. oUJJLiii Mr. Cha Chi Ming CCM (Hong Kong) Office NOV 2 6 2001 Hong Kong LEQSG/QLNTRAL .J 8th November 2001 Private and Personal H. E. Kofi Annan Secretary General United Nations 3 Sutton Place New York, N. Y. 10021 U. S. A. Dear Kofi, It has been quite some time since we met in Hong Kong during one of your visits, and I trust everything is well with you. I am writing, as Honorary Chairman, to extend an invitation to you to participate as our most honoured guest and speakeTTn~trl"e'"comlng International Conference on New Economy, Living Environment and Chinese Culture. Your wife is also cordially invited to attend the conference. The conference is sponsored by Zhejiang University, which is the biggest and second in academic ranking in China. The time of the conference is from May 19'h to 22nd, 2002, and will be held in Hangzhou, China. I am attaching herewith a brief description of the conference for your kind information. Knowing how busy you must be, I am not sure if the dates of the conference would be convenient to you. Therefore, I would quite understand if you could not fit these dates in your heavy schedules. Nevertheless, Zhejiang University and myself personally hope that you would be able to visit and share you vast knowledge and experiences with us even if you could not attend the conference. Thus, I would like to invite you and your wife to spend part of your holidays in China, especially Hangzhou, at a time that is convenient to you. We could organise a forum with you as our speaker at the time.

The West Lake is well known as a must-visit by the tourists all over the world. However, the region is not only known for its major tourist attractions. It is also the fastest growing economic region in China. I am sure you would find the holiday enjoyable. If you could extend a few more days of your holiday in China, I could also organise a trip to Xian to visit the terracotta relics, or any other place of Chinese ancient culture that may be of interest to you and your wife. I look forward to your early favourable reply so that plan could be made in time. May I wish you and your family all the best.

The profound impact of this new economic phenomenon on the global economy, politics and culture is displaying for the first time, and hence calling for the general attention from the countries all over the world. What features does this economic tendency have got and where will it go? What kinds of charges will man's living environment take on and how does the traditional Chinese culture realize its creative transformation and play its active role under the new economic conditions? How do people make use of new economic development to set a better future? How does the new economy help the Chinese culture develop in the direction of advanced culture? All these issues need pondering and exploring. People are the starting point for all man's social activities and the terminal point of them as well, All man's activities including economy, science and technology are accomplished by people and their terminal goal is also to improve man's living environment and raise the living standards, or they will be meaningless. The occurrence of the new economic phenomenon not only reveals the bright future for the further improvement in man's living environment and life quality, but also brings about a series of new issues such as the challenge of man's gene technology to the environment of resources, shock of IT to the method of man's communication, conflict between economic globalization and cultural diversification, etc. Chinese culture, which has profound knowledge and scholarship and goes back to ancient times, possesses the tradition of distinct humanism. Under the new economic conditions, it should both self- renew in order to meet the needs of the epochal development and possibly contribute to restrict and lead man's social life onto the active and healthy track. Take all the above mentioned into consideration, Zhejiang University would sincerely extend an invitation to these experts and professors famous at home and abroad for the symposium on living environment and Chinese culture, aiming at seeking for the common issues and exchanging the views on them, which we are interested in, in hope that we will properly recognize the new economic phenomenon, find out solutions, promote the economic development and social progress so as to contribute to the realization of our nation's rapid development in the new century, Arrangements relating to the conference are as follows: I „ Main Topics (3).

    Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (Ii): the Battle Over "The People" and the Business Community in the Transition to Chinese Rule

    HONG KONG'S ENDGAME AND THE RULE OF LAW (II): THE BATTLE OVER "THE PEOPLE" AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN THE TRANSITION TO CHINESE RULE JACQUES DELISLE* & KEVIN P. LANE- 1. INTRODUCTION Transitional Hong Kong's endgame formally came to a close with the territory's reversion to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997. How- ever, a legal and institutional order and a "rule of law" for Chi- nese-ruled Hong Kong remain works in progress. They will surely bear the mark of the conflicts that dominated the final years pre- ceding Hong Kong's legal transition from British colony to Chinese Special Administrative Region ("S.A.R."). Those endgame conflicts reflected a struggle among adherents to rival conceptions of a rule of law and a set of laws and institutions that would be adequate and acceptable for Hong Kong. They unfolded in large part through battles over the attitudes and allegiance of "the Hong Kong people" and Hong Kong's business community. Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (I): The Struggle over Institutions and Values in the Transition to Chinese Rule ("Endgame I") focused on the first aspect of this story. It examined the political struggle among members of two coherent, but not monolithic, camps, each bound together by a distinct vision of law and sover- t Special Series Reprint: Originally printed in 18 U.

    Chapter 2 Beijing's Internal and External Challenges

    CHAPTER 2 BEIJING’S INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CHALLENGES Key Findings • The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is facing internal and external challenges as it attempts to maintain power at home and increase its influence abroad. China’s leadership is acutely aware of these challenges and is making a concerted effort to overcome them. • The CCP perceives Western values and democracy as weaken- ing the ideological commitment to China’s socialist system of Party cadres and the broader populace, which the Party views as a fundamental threat to its rule. General Secretary Xi Jin- ping has attempted to restore the CCP’s belief in its founding values to further consolidate control over nearly all of China’s government, economy, and society. His personal ascendancy within the CCP is in contrast to the previous consensus-based model established by his predecessors. Meanwhile, his signature anticorruption campaign has contributed to bureaucratic confu- sion and paralysis while failing to resolve the endemic corrup- tion plaguing China’s governing system. • China’s current economic challenges include slowing econom- ic growth, a struggling private sector, rising debt levels, and a rapidly-aging population. Beijing’s deleveraging campaign has been a major drag on growth and disproportionately affects the private sector. Rather than attempt to energize China’s econo- my through market reforms, the policy emphasis under General Secretary Xi has shifted markedly toward state control. • Beijing views its dependence on foreign intellectual property as undermining its ambition to become a global power and a threat to its technological independence. China has accelerated its efforts to develop advanced technologies to move up the eco- nomic value chain and reduce its dependence on foreign tech- nology, which it views as both a critical economic and security vulnerability.

    The Projected Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Human

    The Projected Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Human Rights Record In The Post-British Era by Daniel C. Turck * Capital University Law School PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong ceased to be a British Dependent Territory, and the People's Republic of China (PRC) resumed sovereignty over Hong Kong pursuant to the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong (Joint Declaration).1 The Joint Declaration, in accordance with Article 312 of the PRC's Constitution, declares that Hong Kong is now a Special Administrative Region (HKSAR).3 The HKSAR is under the authority of the PRC's Central Government but is expected to enjoy "a high degree of autonomy, except in respect of foreign and defense affairs," which are the responsibilities of the Central Government. Purportedly, Hong Kong's "capitalist system and life-style [will] remain unchanged for 50 years."4 Inherent in Article 31 of the PRC's Constitution is the concept of "one country, two systems," an idea that would encompass both the PRC's socialist, as well as, Hong Kong's capitalist systems.5 Moreover, HKSAR law will preserve "rights and freedoms" that would be promulgated by the National People's Congress of the PRC and recognized "in a Basic Law of the HKSAR."6 After an arduous process,7 the Basic Law of the HKSAR was adopted by the Seventh National People's Congress of the PRC at its third session on April 4, 1990,8 and became effective on July 1, 1997. THE BASIC LAW OF THE HKSAR The Basic Law is a statute enacted under the authority of Article 31 of the PRC's Constitution, and its interpretation will be carried out in accordance with Chinese Communist Party policy.
