First question. Domestic Free Television Programme Services 1. MR FREDERICK FUNG (in Cantonese): President, regarding the effective utilization of the television channels and future development of domestic free television programme services (free TV), as well as the vetting of applications for free TV licences, will the Government inform this Council: (a) given that the audience ratings of the programmes of one of the two existing free TV broadcasters have all along been low, whether the authorities have recently assessed if there is poor utilization of television channels at present, the impact of such situation on the sustainable development of free TV, and if the two licensees have LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 7 November 2012 1379 made efforts in promoting local creativity and programme diversity; if they have, of the assessment results, what measures they will take to enhance the utilization of the television channels, and if they will consider revoking the licence concerned or re-tendering some of the channels; if they will not re-tender the channels, of the reasons for that; (b) given the report that an applicant for the free TV licence has indicated that, despite the overwhelming public support for introducing new free TV, the Government has not yet completed the vetting of applications, and that the applicant has been waiting for more than 1 000 days for the result of the application, whether the authorities can list those previous projects the vetting of which has also taken such a long time; whether they have assessed the impact of such a long vetting time on the future development of free TV, and if the long vetting time will give investors an impression that the Government is exceedingly bureaucratic and inefficient, thus affecting investors' interests in investing in Hong Kong in future and undermining the competitiveness of Hong Kong; and (c) what mechanism is in place to ensure that the vetting of applications for television licences will not be subject to political considerations and political interference, and to avoid the authorities responsible for vetting the applications putting unreasonable demands on the applicants and existing licensees taking legal actions to delay the vetting process? SECRETARY FOR COMMERCE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT (in Cantonese): President, the Government has always attached great importance to the development of the broadcasting industry. Our broadcasting policy is to promote the sustainable development of the local broadcasting industry and encourage fair competition, investment and the adoption of innovative technologies, thereby leading to the provision of more choices of quality programmes to the public. Under the technology-neutral regime enshrined in the Broadcasting Ordinance (BO) (Cap. 562) enacted in 2000, television programme services are regulated according to their characteristics and pervasiveness rather than their transmission mode, and licensees are free to adopt 1380 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 7 November 2012 their own transmission means to deliver their television services. Indeed, we have all along adopted a liberalized, light-handed and pro-competition regulatory approach. As a result, Hong Kong boasts a vibrant broadcasting industry and a multitude of television and radio channels with diversified programming. My reply to the three-part question is as follows: (a) Hong Kong is a pluralistic society. Members of the public have diverse demands for television programmes. Since the variety and quality of television programmes are determined by a combination of factors including selection of materials and programme production, there can hardly be any absolutely objective benchmark in this respect. Viewership ratings are not the only indicator for assessing the variety and quality of television programmes. Regarding the variety of television programmes, the two existing free TV licensees are required under their licence to provide a diversity of programmes to meet the needs of different viewers. In particular, they are required to broadcast a minimum amount of educational, informational and locally produced programmes, and carry programmes produced by Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) during prime time. After the mid-term review of the domestic free TV programme service licences of Asia Television Limited (ATV) and Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) in 2010, the former Broadcasting Authority (BA) (that is, the predecessor of the Communications Authority (CA)) recommended that enhanced programme requirements should be imposed on the two free TV broadcasters.

  • Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016
    Journal of US-China Public Administration, August 2016, Vol. 13, No. 8, 499-517 doi: 10.17265/1548-6591/2016.08.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016 Chung Fun Steven Hung The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong After direct elections were instituted in Hong Kong, politicization inevitably followed democratization. This paper intends to evaluate how political parties’ politics happened in Hong Kong’s recent history. The research was conducted through historical comparative analysis, with the context of Hong Kong during the sovereignty transition and the interim period of democratization being crucial. For the implementation of “one country, two systems”, political democratization was hindered and distinct political scenarios of Hong Kong’s transformation were made. The democratic forces had no alternative but to seek more radicalized politics, which caused a decisive fragmentation of the local political parties where the establishment camp was inevitable and the democratic blocs were split into many more small groups individually. It is harmful. It is not conducive to unity and for the common interests of the publics. This paper explores and evaluates the political history of Hong Kong and the ways in which the limited democratization hinders the progress of Hong Kong’s transformation. Keywords: election politics, historical comparative, ruling, democratization The democratizing element of the Hong Kong political system was bounded within the Legislative Council under the principle of the separation of powers of the three governing branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Popular elections for the Hong Kong legislature were introduced and implemented for 25 years (1991-2016) and there were eight terms of general elections for the Legislative Council.
