In recent days Hongkongers who object to a 12 year old boy jumping the immigration queue have been called xenophobes. Ironically, in some cases the adjective is being used by individuals who forget that after a High Court decision in 1999, they asked for an interpretation of the Basic Law to stop. Back then some of them claimed, perhaps not so un-xenophobically that unless the law was changed as many as one million mainlanders would flood into Hong Kong as a result of the high court ruling in a right of abode case.
But Siu Yau-wai has an advantage. His case has been taken up by Chan Yuen-han, the leader of the pro-Beijing Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions.
After days of protests, Cathay Pacific’s cabin crew union has called off a strike planned for August and plans to sign an agreement with management on issues covering pay, benefits, and legal protection. But it’s been something of a turbulent ride.
Investigations over the handling of donations to the University of Hong Kong via associate professor Benny Tai are still ongoing. However investigations into the hacking of the emails that spurred this inquiry appear to be less on going. This in turn has spurred other concerns, primarily over whether our tertiary education institutions are coming under government pressure to toe the line in other ways. With us in the studio is Benny Tai, Associate Professor of the Faculty of Law of the University of Hong Kong.
