Attached with the letter are the results of an online survey (the “Survey”) conducted by Hon Charles MOK and the Hong Kong Wireless Technology Industry Association (“WTIA”) to collect industry opinion.

The Commissioner published an investigation report 1 on 13 August 2013 regarding the Smartphone Application “Do No Evil” (“App”). The App was launched in 2012.

All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Can it regain its luster? Executive Summary Hong Kong provided much of the economic muscle that has transformed China into a global financial powerhouse over the past three decades. The city of 7.3 million, which has been a special administrative region of China since the United Kingdom relinquished control in 1997, is increasingly intertwined with the mainland. But while Hong Kong remains relatively prosperous and is still a regional financial center, its recent growth rate is well below that of the People’s Republic. The territory has failed to diversify to mitigate its reliance on trade services and finance and faces a host of problems that will be difficult to overcome, according to economic experts. “Hong Kong has gone sideways,” says one. Key takeaways include: Hong Kong’s economic growth rate has fallen from more than 7 percent in the 1980s to about half of that late last year, while China has expanded to become the world’s second largest economy. China now accounts for more than half of Hong Kong’s goods exports and 40 percent of its service exports. Hong Kong was the world’s busiest port in 2004; it has since slipped to number five while Shanghai has moved into the top spot.

    The Sinitic Nominal Phrase Structure: a Minimalist Perspective

    University of Cambridge Faculty of Modern and Medieval Languages The Sinitic Nominal Phrase Structure: A Minimalist Perspective Yi-An Lin St. Catharine’s College This dissertation is submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2009 i DECLARATION This dissertation is a result of my own work and includes nothing which is the outcome of work done in collaboration except where specifically indicated in the text. It does not exceed the word limit of 80,000 words. The research reported in this dissertation was partially funded by the Studying Abroad Scholarship from the Ministry of Education, Republic of China (Taiwan). ii The Sinitic Nominal Phrase Structure: A Minimalist Perspective Yi-An Lin SUMMARY This dissertation is a comparative study of the morphosyntax of the constituents referred to as noun phrases in traditional grammar. In line with Abney’s (1987) Determiner Phrase (DP) Hypothesis, this study investigates the syntactic structures of Sinitic nominal phrases by means of a thorough study of lexical elements, such as numerals, classifiers, possessives, adjectives, and nouns, and functional elements, such as plural/collective markers, force particles, and modification markers. It is argued that the syntactic structure of the nominal phrase is universal regardless of the presence of lexical items which realise the heads of the functional projections. This study further proposes a unified account of the articulated structure of nominal phrases, as a full-fledged DP, to explain the syntactic phenomena in both classifier and non-classifier languages. More specifically, a Probe-Goal feature-valuing model is proposed to account for parametric variation among Sinitic and other languages within the framework of Chomsky’s (2000, 2001, 2004) Phase-based Minimalist Programme.
