Mr Henry WU will address the Council on the Ocean Park Corporation Annual Report 1999-2000. LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 6 December 2000 1547 Ocean Park Corporation Annual Report 1999-2000 MR HENRY WU (in Cantonese): Madam President, tabled before the Council today is the Ocean Park Corporation Annual Report 1999-2000 In the financial year ended June 2000, Ocean Park received 3.3 million visitors, an increase of 6% over the previous year. Tourists from mainland China, who now account for the single largest percentage of total tourist arrivals in Hong Kong, represented 70% of the Park's total tourist attendance. As one of the must-see attractions on the mainland visitors' itineraries, Ocean Park has come to play a truly essential role in the local tourism industry. During the year, Hong Kong's unsettled economy continued to pose challenges to the Park, but we managed to reduce the annual deficit substantially, from HK$85 million and HK$33 million respectively of the two prior years to HK$23 million. In the past year, we continued to add, enhance and introduce new facilities, educational programmes and extended significant support to wildlife conservation. It demonstrated once again that we would not compromise our responsibility of providing quality and value-for-money services for our visitors even in times of economic adversity. Indeed, this was another important and noteworthy year that underlined Ocean Park's continuing commitment to wildlife conservation. In June 2000, our Ocean Park Dolphin Breeding Programme in conjunction with the Hong Kong Polytechnic University scored a world's breeding first with the successful pregnancy of two bottlenose dolphins by artificial insemination. The programme attracted scientific and media attention from all over the world and has been acknowledged as being at the forefront of marine mammal care and breeding science in supporting their many wildlife conservation programs. We also donated HK$4.8 million to the Ocean Park Conservation Foundation and the Hong Kong Society for Panda Conservation in support of their many wildlife conservation projects. Ocean Park continues to play an important educational role in society. During the year, the Park conducted educational tours for more than 28 000 enthusiastic students in Hong Kong bringing its eight years total student participation to over 200 000. Our goal is to teach our younger generation about the beauty and value of nature and integrate every child's visit to Ocean Park into a part of their lifelong learning process. 1548 LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 6 December 2000 We believe that, as the international business community is becoming increasingly concerned with the quality of life and environmentally enlightened, what the Park has done so well and will continue to do in the future about wildlife conservation and protecting the environment will contribute to the competitiveness of Hong Kong as a world-class city and business centre. For the new financial year, new, exciting facilities are scheduled to open as part of the Park's continuous capital improvement plan. They include a themed "Mine Train Roller Coaster", the "Pacific Pier" featuring California sea lions and harbour seals, and a breath-taking thrill ride called the "Abyss Turbo Drop". These attractions will certainly consolidate the Park's status as the preferred entertainment venue for local people and as a world-class tourist destination for international visitors. Indeed, the Park is now widely recognized as one of the most familiar icons of Hong Kong and a pillar of the local tourism industry. Its success has become intertwined with the welfare and prosperity of Hong Kong. We look forward to working closely with the Government and will continue to contribute to the greater good of the people of Hong Kong in the new millennium. Madam President, I so submit. ORAL ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS PRESIDENT (in Cantonese): Questions. I would like to inform Members that question time normally does not exceed one and a half hours, with each question being allocated some 12 to 15 minutes. Supplementaries should be as concise as possible and Members should not make statements when asking supplementaries. First question. Fire Safety of Tunnel Tube Boards 1. MR IP KWOK-HIM (in Cantonese): Madam President, it has been reported that the tube boards of the Lion Rock Tunnel and the Aberdeen Tunnel are made of a plastic material, which will release poisonous gas on combustion. In this connection, will the Government inform this Council whether: LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL ─ 6 December 2000 1549 (a) it has assessed if the tube boards of the two tunnels comply with fire safety standards; if so, of the results of the assessment; (b) it has plans to replace the tube boards of the two tunnels; if so, of the commencement and completion dates of the works; and the measures it will take to enhance the fire safety of the two tunnels before the completion of such works; and (c) it has taken out insurance against casualties caused by such tube boards? SECRETARY FOR TRANSPORT (in Cantonese): Madam President, all tunnels are equipped with fire protection and fire fighting installations which comply fully with the requirements of the Fire Services Department (FSD) and are maintained by registered fire service installation contractors. Besides, tunnel operators are also required to establish procedures for handling fire incidents. Such procedures are reviewed regularly on the basis of the latest development in tunnel emergency management.

  • 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.

  • Section 4: Hong Kong
    SECTION 4: HONG KONG Introduction In the wake of political turmoil and widespread protests sur- rounding implementation of reform in Hong Kong’s 2017 chief exec- utive election, Hong Kong society remains politically divided. This section examines developments in Hong Kong’s electoral reform process; declining press, expression, and academic freedoms; and the deepening economic relationship between Hong Kong and mainland China. Findings in this section are based on the Commis- sion’s July trip to Hong Kong, meetings with government officials and experts, think tank and media reports, and official statistics. The section concludes with a discussion of the implications of Hong Kong’s political and economic development for the United States. Constitutional Relationship between Hong Kong and Main- land China Constitutionally, Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China (PRC).1 While central authorities in Beijing are explicitly charged with managing Hong Kong’s foreign affairs and defense, Hong Kong is otherwise entitled to conduct its own administrative affairs in accordance with the Basic Law, the region’s mini-constitution, which grants it a ‘‘high degree of auton- omy.’’ 2 This autonomy allows Hong Kong to exercise executive, leg- islative, and independent judicial power. Hong Kong’s autonomy was established in accordance with the ‘‘one country, two systems’’ principle—introduced by Deng Xiaoping to realize the peaceful re- unification of China—under which the region’s capitalist system and ‘‘way of life’’
