whether it’s elections for legislators or Chief Executive, Beijing seems to be getting actively involved in Hong Kong’s democratic process, and that does not bode well for the apparently increasingly moth-eaten principle of “One Country, Two Systems”. Following on from such earlier phenomena as the bussing of people from elderly homes and free seafood dinners, there were also overt, ahem, “recommendations” which way to vote in the Chief Executive election last month, and the ICAC recently arrested 72 people for alleged vote-rigging during last’s years Legco election. With us in the studio are Mark Pinkstone, chief information officer for Regina Ip’s chief executive election campaign and Charles Mok of the Professionals Commons.
The average Hongkonger throws out about 1.39kg of household waste each day. Each year, we sent more than six million tons of it to our landfills. Thanks to our consumption-led lifestyle, our municipal solid waste has increased by over 80% over the past 30 years. In 2014, the government set a target to slash that figure by 40% per cent by 2022. And one way is to charge us for being wasteful.
