Download or read book Today Hong Kong Tomorrow the World written by Mark L. Clifford and published by St. Martin's Press. This book was released on 2022-02-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping history of China's deteriorating relationship with Hong Kong, and its implications for the rest of the world. For 150 years as a British colony, Hong Kong was a beacon of prosperity where people, money, and technology flowed freely, and residents enjoyed many civil liberties. In preparation for handing the territory over to China in 1997, Deng Xiaoping promised that it would remain highly autonomous for fifty years. An international treaty established a Special Administrative Region (SAR) with a far freer political system than that of Communist China—one with its own currency and government administration, a common-law legal system, and freedoms of press, speech, and religion. But as the halfway mark of the SAR’s lifespan approaches in 2022, it is clear that China has not kept its word. Universal suffrage and free elections have not been instituted, harassment and brutality have become normalized, and activists are being jailed en masse. To make matters worse, a national security law that further crimps Hong Kong’s freedoms has recently been decreed in Beijing. This tragic backslide has dire worldwide implications—as China continues to expand its global influence, Hong Kong serves as a chilling preview of how dissenters could be treated in regions that fall under the emerging superpower’s control. Today Hong Kong, Tomorrow the World tells the complete story of how a city once famed for protests so peaceful that toddlers joined grandparents in millions-strong rallies became a place where police have fired more than 10,000 rounds of tear gas, rubber bullets and even live ammunition at their neighbors, while pro-government hooligans attack demonstrators in the streets. A Hong Kong resident from 1992 to 2021, author Mark L. Clifford has witnessed this transformation firsthand. As a celebrated publisher and journalist, he has unrivaled access to the full range of the city’s society, from student protestors and political prisoners to aristocrats and senior government officials. A powerful and dramatic mix of history and on-the-ground reporting, this book is the definitive account of one of the most important geopolitical standoffs of our time.

Download or read book Education in Hong Kong 1941 to 2001 written by Anthony Sweeting and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2004-07-01 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It provides comprehensive coverage of developments in formal and informal education in Hong Kong from the end of 1941 to the beginning of the new millennium. As was true of its predecessor, each Part of this book is subdivided into three sections: Commentary, Chronicle, and Evidence. Such an organization facilitates flexible reading. Readers primarily interested in analysis, interpretation, and the identification of themes are likely to focus initially on the Commentary sections and to move, as they feel stimulated, to the relevant entries in the Chronicle and/or items of Evidence. Readers who seek either more encyclopedic understanding or detailed answers to specific questions may well wish to focus primarily or at least initially on the Chronicle sections, and then to search for substantiation in the Evidence section or for amplification in the author's Commentary. At times, some readers may wish to browse through the Evidence sections, reaching possibly serendipitous discoveries. Academic and general readers are likely to be particularly interested in Part I of the book, which deals with education in Hong Kong during the Japanese occupation, a topic that has received only very rare and generalization-bound treatment in other publications. The author offers insights into all levels of education. His conceptual scope incorporates many types of education - including the mainstream academic education, technical education, teacher education, special education, physical education, civic education, education that focuses on morals, that which focuses on culture, and the various sorts of non-formal and informal education.

Book excerpt: Countries are built by courage and the will of what we call aEURoeWe and By the PeopleaEUR and are made durable by reasoned actions of people, military actions, political actions that all create environments that foster further constructive growth that support our wide and diverse population. Expectations with healthy thought out needs breed infrastructures and environments we need to protect to ensure future growth insurances for our many peoples who grow at a quickening pace as we move forward. To protect these environs for our towns and cities, we need a strong governmental system in our states supported by a federal government system, a strong military, a strong and viable agricultural prescience, a strong manufacturing base, a transportation network in shape to handle vigorous growth, a healthy international trade, and energy sources and delivery systems to support a growing population. Of course, we need innovative ideas to improve our systems, making them more efficient as we move forward. We can all agree upon and expect and treasure our rights and liberties we currently enjoy as a world leader, a society that is an example and is even copied by other nations. We do not need a disruptive entity proposing total upheaval such as the Green New Deal of any flavor that seeks to destroy our society for a power grab and a socialist plan of action. We are a strong economy with a functioning government that is a successful republic.

This book was released on 2024-05-24 with total page 600 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most important thing about the calculation of 紫微斗数 (Zǐ Wēi Dòu Shù) is the role of the 4 transformation stars called 四化曜 Sì Huà Yào, which becomes the elements of transformation of the main stars according to the passage of time. The transformation that occurs are colouring the dynamics of an individual's life based on the calculation of heavenly stem that mark the dimension of time from decade to decade, and year to year.

The interpretation shown on the life chart is blunt or direct. First published in 2010, the Indonesian version of this book has becomes one of the best-sellers of its time. Years later, with the encouragement of the public, Feng Shui-loving friends, and clients, the Zǐ Wēi Dòu Shù book was re-published with a revised material for a more complete content and has finally been published in an English version. "This book is organized like an encyclopedia so that readers can look up the interpretations directly after knowing their 明盤 Míng Pán (Map of Life). In order to keep the information up-to-date, this book has been revised with the most obvious addition being the interpretations and meanings of the main stars which changes due to the 4 四化曜 Sì Huà Yào in each star. Hopefully this book can add insight, and improve the quality of life of its readers by achieving more luck and happiness, also by avoiding bad or unlucky influences by anticipating them in advance."
