Don’t spill your popcorn in excitement, but as the government keeps reminding us, this year marks the 25th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law. In part two of today’s show Elsie Leung, Deputy Director of the Basic Law Committee, will be here to talk about some of the controversies surrounding that, and a few other issues. Before that, the rolling poll on public acceptance of the political reform proposals for selecting the Chief Executive releases new figures weekly. According to this week’s figures, the gap between those supporting and opposing the proposal has widened just a bit … from the previous narrowest gap of 2% to 5.5%. With us in the studio is the Chairman of the Civic Party, Audrey Eu.
As we said earlier, it’s the 25th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law, and the government wants us to love it. It’s particularly promoting the enterprise in schools, having attributed the dissatisfactions of Occupy Central to a lack of knowledge of the Basic Law and the People’s Republic of China among the young.
In part one we looked at the controversy over teaching materials on the Basic Law. With me in the studio is Elsie Leung, the Deputy Director of the Basic Law Committee who has been giving advice on these materials. We’ll end with a look at Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s three-day visit to China, during which the leaders of the world's two most populous nations are expected to sign deals worth billions of dollars despite strained relations over a long-running border dispute.
