Questionnaire For National Security Positions. Transportation: Fill & Download for Free

There is international consensus as to what factors should determine if a place is regarded as a key international financial center:According to the Global Financial Centres Index (Global Financial Centres Index - Wikipedia) - which is a ranking of the competitiveness of financial centres based on over 29,000 financial centre assessments combining an objective consolidation of over 100 indices from organizations such as the World Bank, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), and the Economist Intelligence Unit, with an online survey of subjective perceptions from institutional investors, the key areas contributing to the success of an international financial center are:1. The human capital factors summarise the availability of a skilled workforce, the flexibility of the labour market, the quality of the business education and the skill-set of the workforce, and quality of life.2. The business environment factors aggregate and value the regulation, tax rates, levels of corruption, economic freedom and how difficult in general it is to do business. To measure regulation an online questionnaire has been used.3. The financial sector development factors assess the volume and value of trading in capital markets and other financial markets, the cluster effect of the number of different financial service companies at the location, and employment and economic output indicators.4. The infrastructure factors account for the price and availability of office space at the location, as well as public transport.5. Reputation and General considers more subjective aspects such as innovation, brand appeal, cultural diversity and competitive positioning.The latest ranking of the Global Financial Centres Index:You can see from the chart above that competitors of Hong Kong as International financial centre in Asia is Singapore, and in particular within the world’s strongest economic growth driver and second largest economy: China, also Shanghai. I would not repeat the strengths of Hong Kong that fits the above five factors, given Hong Kong has already been ranked among the top five globally by this index since 2005.So the closest competitor for Hong Kong is Shanghai. Shanghai and Hong Kong belong to the same country. Shanghai already has in place the national security laws that are directly enforced by the Communist Party government, whereas the one to be made for Hong Kong will be enforced by Hong Kong’s common law legal system.Comparatively, Hong Kong has the “One Country Two Systems” benefit, its own seat in many international organisations, a common law legal system, a free flow of capital and freely-convertible local currency, no public debt, ample foreign exchange reserves, the absence of restriction in the conveyancing of property, securities, gold and silver, a strong and well/interntionally-regulated financial sector, a free press, the free flow of information, low and simple taxes, a pool of managerial talent with international experience, ease of access, proximity to major markets, and a dense network of services firms. and rigorous anti-corruption measures.What is at issue recently that triggers concern, notably in POTUS’ remarks about the international financial centre status of Hong Kong is the recent decision of the “National People’s Congress to establish and improve a legal framework and enforcement mechanism for safeguarding national security in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_People%27s_Congress_Decision_on_Hong_Kong_national_security_legislation)”, the salient points of which are:* The country shall comprehensively implement the policy of "one country, two systems" and the high degree of autonomy that Hong Kong enjoys, while maintaining the constitution and the constitutional order established by the HKSAR Basic Law. It shall also establish a sound legal system in the HKSAR to maintain national security, preventing and penalising activities that endanger national security.[*Comment: Nothing new. Same as the concept of “homeland security” in the US. That’s precisely what One Country, Two Systems means - high degree of autonomy while sharing the same national interests as the mainland China*. *In terms of homeland security laws enforced federally, think Puerto Rico vs United States.*]* The country objects to any foreign interference to the affairs of the HKSAR, and will employ any necessary counter-measures, preventing and penalising any foreign activities in Hong Kong aiming for secession, subversion, penetration, and destruction.[*Comment: The largest foreign agency work in Hong Kong has always been the US and the UK through their consular staff and organisations like the **NED* (National Endowment for Democracy - Wikipedia; just as the US regards Russia and China as operating espionage or surveillance in their country. Hong Kong had these in their statute books since colonial times albeit safeguarding the British Crown’s interests, and its mini-constitution after the handover the Basic Law specifically states that Hong Kong should legislate on its own* ]* It is the constitutional responsibility of the HKSAR to maintain the sovereignty and unity of the country. The HKSAR shall legislate national security law according to the Basic Law as soon as possible. The executive, legislature, and judiciary of the HKSAR shall prevent and penalise actions that endanger national security according to the related law.[*Comment: This is important as it does not change the current obligation of Hong Kong under Article 23 of the Basic Law, and stresses that the responsibility to enforce such laws also lies with the executive government, legislature and judiciary of Hong Kong*]* The HKSAR shall construct a sound organisation and mechanism to maintain national security, and reinforce the work of maintaining national security. Organizations in the Central People's Government responsible for national security may set up organizations in the HKSAR in order to fulfill the responsibility of maintaining national security.[*Comment: The context of this is the pan-democrat, anti-Communist opposition legislators have been rallying American financial/political support and local people’s unfounded fear of civil liberties being encroached*, a*nd more recently, against the use of any force by local police towards rioters and vandals who use violence against other persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, or any segment of civilian population, in furtherance of political or social objectives. This made Hong Kong not being able to fulfill their Article 23 obligation to have in place local laws to safeguard national security for the past 23 years*. *Now that Beijing would like to plug this lacuna and say they will legislate and set up another organisation in Hong Kong (just like its Garrison, Foreign Ministry Commissioner, and Liaison Office already established) - for things that the local police are not able to achieve at the moment* *if any*.]* The HKSAR chief executive shall periodically submit a report on the work of maintaining national security, education on national security, and prohibition of actions endangering national security.[*Comment: HKSAR Chief Executive is accountable to both the Central People’s Government *and *to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The CE already has an annual reporting mechanism to brief his/her work to the President and the Premier of China. This just adds a particular topic to such reports, and the public can be expected to have access to this national security report given it is now in the know.*]* The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress is authorized to enact laws in order to build a sound legal system in the HKSAR to maintain national security and to **prevent and penalise foreign interference of Hong Kong affairs and any actions that endanger national security such as secession, subversion, and organisation of terrorism acts**. The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress decides to list the aforementioned laws into the Annex III of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, which is to be enforced by the HKSAR.[*Comment: This is the crux of controversy. Among the seven things Article 23 of Basic Law seeks to empower Hong Kong on its own to prohibit, (viz. (i) treason, (ii) secession, (iii) sedition, (iv) subversion against the Central People’s Government, (v) theft of state secrets, (vi) foreign political bodies conducting political activities in Hong Kong, and (vii) local political bodies from establishing ties with foreign political bodies), there already are local laws sanctioning (i), (iii) & (v). Now Beijing is seeking to enact laws for (ii), (iv), (vi), and “terrorism acts”* *which is the subject of the UN Security Council Resolution 1393 that all member states should legislate against.* ]All countries around the world (incl. common law and civil law jurisdictions) have express provisions in their statutes to prevent and punish crimes that endanger the sovereignty, territorial integrity and security of the state. Just as the Canadian Law Reform Commission describes a reciprocal relationship between the state and the individual,>>the reciprocal relationship between the individual and the State involves, on the part of the State, protection of the individual from violent invasion and oppression, and, on the part of the individual, a concomitant obligation to uphold the State and not betray it. Thus if the State affords such protection to the individual, betrayal of the State by the individual would be wrongful and deserving of criminal sanction.The need to legislate is undisputed. The question is who to. Hong Kong has been given 23 years to legislate on its own, but failed due to an entrenched stereotyped fear of a certain proportion of Hong Kongers against the concept of China being their “sovereign state” by local politicians who lobbied and received foreign support and whose stance dominated by a few most popular print and digital news media in Hong Kong. The threat to national security, however, is real and looming - clearly shown by the terrorist-style rioting by many young civilians in the 2019 protests (2019–20 Hong Kong protests - Wikipedia), some of whom waved US flags, and indiscriminately vandalised state-owned businesses in Hong Kong, and the backing and sponsorship of these activites by local and foreign powers. If we are talking about Shanghai, the full-fledged Communist national security law and structure is long in place. If anyone fears Hong Kong’s international financial centre’’s status is threatened because of recent National People’s Congress’ Decision, then Shanghai would be no match to outdo Hong Kong in this regard

Does the CCP view democracy as a concept that is positive and beneficial? Outside countries like Switzerland, where everybody votes on everything, the CCP is probably the world’s leading democracy because it has the closest alignment between what people want and what the government delivers.No matter which way you look at Chinese democracy, it’s beating the Western models hands down. To save time by let’s look at Joseph Wang’s answer to How do we convince a Chinese communist advocate that judicial independence is important?So lets go back to 1990.You: Democracy and judicial independence are great thingsCCP: We agree. It’s just that we have different definitions of democracy and judicial independenceYou: But your definitions are wrongCCP: Why?You: Because your government is obviously broken. Just look at how wonderful things are in the US and EU, and how much things suck in China. Obviously our definitions are better.Today:You: Democracy and judicial independence are great thingsCCP: We agree. It’s just that we have different definitions of democracy and judicial independence. Any by the way, we been spending the last thirty years copying bits and pieces of your system, that we think can work.You: But your definitions are wrongCCP: Why?You: Because your government is obviously broken. Just look at how wonderful things are in the US and EU, and how much things suck in China, and errr……Let’s compare America’s current version of democracy to China’s constitutionally, electively, popularly, procedurally, legislatively, operationally, substantively, collectively and financially.Constitutionally, China’s constitution cites the concept of ‘rights’ twenty-five times, ‘democracy’ thirty-three times and ‘freedom’ twelve times and stipulates, America omitted the d-word from all its Constitutional documents.Electively, The Constitution refers to the National People’s Congress’ role a hundred times and stipulates, “The National People’s Congress and the local people’s congresses..are responsible to the people and subject to their supervision. All administrative, judicial and procuratorial organs of the State are created by the people’s congresses to which they are responsible and by which they are supervised”. Directly elected village representatives vote for township members, who vote for county representatives, who vote for provincial representatives who vote to send candidates to the National People’s Congress, which votes for the Central Committee’s two hundred members are the party's highest organ of authority when Congress is not in session. They also vote to elect the seven members of China’s highest executive group, the Politburo Standing Committee: the president, premier and cabinet. The president cannot even choose his own prime minister, hire or fire officials or assign or suspend members of Congress. In the U.S., by contrast, wealthy, unelected people propose and fund candidates for election and an unelected Electoral College chooses the chief executive.Popularly, the Chinese, who bear many scars from past governance errors and it was when Mao ignored his own advice, “If we don’t investigate public opinion we have no right to voice our own opinion. Public opinion is our guideline for action,” that China suffered. Today, the government spends prolifically on surveys and a thousand independent polling firms seek insights, as author Jeff J. Brown wrote me, “My Beijing neighborhood committee and town hall are constantly putting up announcements, inviting groups of people–renters, homeowners, over seventies, women under forty, those with or without medical insurance, retirees–to answer surveys. The CPC is the world’s biggest pollster for a reason: China’s democratic ‘dictatorship of the people’ is highly engaged at the day-to-day, citizen-on-the-street level. I know, because I live in a middle class Chinese community and I question them all the time. I find their government much more responsive and democratic than the dog-and-pony shows back home, and I mean that seriously”. Princeton’s Gilens and Page, on the other hand, examining the causes of Americans’ fifty-two percent participation, found that ‘the preferences of the average American appear to have a near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy’.Legislatively, President Obama’s healthcare initiative relied on his popularity and promises while China’s initiatives rely on math. Two-thirds of Chinese trust data more than personal experience–compared to only half of us globally–and technical experts remain the most trusted members of their society. As Robin Daverman explains, “China is a giant trial portfolio with millions of trials going on everywhere. Today, innovations in everything from healthcare to poverty reduction, education, energy, trade and transportation are being trialled in different communities. Every one of China’s 662 cities is experimenting: Shanghai with free trade zones, Guizhou with poverty reduction, twenty-three cities with education reforms, Northeastern provinces with SOE reform: pilot schools, pilot cities, pilot hospitals, pilot markets, pilot everything. Mayors and governors, the Primary Investigators, share their ‘lab results’ at the Central Party School and publish them in ‘scientific journals,’ the State-owned newspapers. Major policies undergo ‘clinical trials,’ beginning in small towns that generate and analyze test data. If the stats look good, they’ll add test sites and do long-term follow-ups. They test and tweak for 10-30 years then ask the 3,000-member People’s Congress to review the data and authorize national trials in three major provinces. If a national trial is successful the State Council [China’s Brains Trust] polishes the plan and takes it back to the 3,000 Congresspeople for a final vote. It’s very transparent and, if you have good data and I don’t, your bill gets passed and mine doesn’t. People’s Congress votes are nearly unanimous because the legislation is backed by reams of data”. Legislation is entirely data-driven and the data and its sources are publicly disclosed prior to the vote. American legislation, by contrast, is written by unelected bureaucrats and professional lobbyists and often passed without a single Congressperson’s having read it.Procedurally, in Prime Minister Wen Jiabao's words, policy setting ‘emphasizes solutions to major problems, either relevant to the grand strategy of the country's socio-economic development or of deep concern to the public’ and, although the process is neither fully scientific nor totally democratic, calling it ‘authoritarian’ (a Western concept) misses the point. If the government says, ‘to reduce pollution this year, please don’t turn your heaters on until November 22,’ ninety percent of Chinese will shiver because they trust the government’s data. If President Xi claims that global warming is a hoax he will be regarded as autocratic, not democratic. If he wants a new climate policy and persuades five cabinet colleagues to support it, he can push it into the trials pipeline but, without solid trial data, he can’t propose legislation. The Party sees itself as a follower of scientific methodology and looks at its American counterparts the way scientists look at people walking into their lab off the street. Their scientific, data-driven democracy has steadily narrowed the gap between public expectations and government capacity and Chinese support for government policies stands at 96 percent, higher than Switzerland’s or Singapore’s and far loftier than our twenty percent.Operationally, as The New York Times’ Thomas Friedman said, “If we could just be China for one day we could actually authorize the right decisions”. Instead, American presidents resemble the medieval monarchs upon whom their office was modeled, as Abraham Lincoln's Secretary of State, William Henry Seward, observed, “We elect a king for four years and give him absolute power within certain limits which, after all, he can interpret for himself”. Our presidents hire and fire all senior officials, secretly ban fifty-thousand citizens from flying, order people kidnapped, tortured, imprisoned and assassinated and take the country to war. No Chinese leader, even Mao at his peak, could do any of those things. Instead, China’s State Council analyzes data and prepares policy suggestions. They suggest tradeoffs and runs policy simulations of optimum outcomes, publish their findings in journals and present them at conferences. They support what Zhang Weiwei calls ‘a neutral government shaping national consensus’ and pass their recommendations to the Politburo, twenty-five officials with a thousand years of collective political experience who pass the refined document to the Steering Committee: seven independently elected Cabinet members with equal votes. The Steering Committee polishes the legislation so that ninety percent of the 3,200 national congresspeople will support it.Substantively, China has won her battle for survival and is now militarily and economically impregnable, so authoritarian giants like Mao and Deng are no longer needed. Today, an awful lot of consultation goes into making law in China. Researchers, experts, media, academics, stakeholders and obstreperous citizens set the agenda and draw up Five Year Plans beginning after the mid-term of the previous 5 year plan. The National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) carries out mid-term assessment and requirement research using questionnaires and grass roots forums and sends a report to National People's Congress, which organizes scholars and specialists to evaluate the list and prioritize the budget. Politburo members guide planning teams who visit areas across the country, listening to local elites’ opinions to form proposals of the areas they are in charge of. The final proposal for next 5 Year Plan is discussed and officially published at the Central Committee’s next Plenary Session. After the official proposal is published, State Council solicits suggestions from all areas and all social levels (workers, farmers, businessmen, entrepreneurs, specialists, etc.) and written submissions from government organizations at all levels and appoints a Financial and Economic Committee to do the preliminary analysis and budgeting. Since 2000, China has allowed foreigners to conduct surveys and publish apolitical results without submitting their questionnaires and Harvard’s Tony Saich, who’s been polling there for over a decade reports, in Governing China, that ninety-six per cent of Chinese are satisfied with their national government and, according to Edelman’s 2016 Report, almost ninety percent of Chinese trust it. World Values Surveys found that eighty-three percent say China is run for their benefit rather than for the benefit of special groups–compared to thirty-eight percent of Americans.Collectively, Chinese peasants have always practiced direct democracy because every dynasty, for the sake of its own survival, is forced to investigate disturbances and to discipline responsible officials. The nation, Mozi said, does not belong to the emperor: the emperor is merely the country’s manager and, when he manages badly, he must apologize. For millennia China’s emperors have written Letters of Public Apology when things go amiss–a democratic device unknown in the West. Despite support for Beijing’s policies, there is still widespread dissatisfaction with local government because, when communes were being shut down during the Reform and Opening, thousands of local officials stole land and equipment. Last year the government reported 150,000 ‘mass incidents’ stemming from local officials’ unfairness, dishonesty or incompetence. Because police are unarmed, rowdy public demonstrations are safe, cheap, exciting and effective. People paint signs, alert NGOs and social media, round up friends and neighbors, parade in the street banging drums, shouting slogans, live-stream the event to millions on social media and, within hours, after a call from Beijing, a shaken official speeds to the site, bows deeply, apologizes profusely, kisses babies, pets dogs, explains he had no idea that such things were going on and promises that, starting today, things will improve. And, gradually, they do.Financially, ninety-five percent of poor Chinese own their homes and land. In its 2017 study, Global Inequality Dynamics, America’s National Bureau of Economic Research reported that, though the bottom half of Chinese saw their share of national income fall from twenty-seven percent to fifteen percent after 1980, Americans’ share collapsed to twelve percent. While China’s top one percent captured thirteen percent of all personal income, America’s grabbed twenty percent. Since those figures were compiled, China has eliminated urban poverty and, the World Bank says, “We can reasonably expect the virtual elimination of extreme poverty in [rural] China by 2022”. Every Chinese–including the poor–has doubled her income every ten years for the past 40 years–an extraordinary improvement in income mobility and the inverse of Americans’ experience, says Stanford’s Raj Chetty, where “rates of absolute mobility have fallen from approximately 90% for children born in 1940 to 50% for children born in the 1980s. Absolute income mobility has fallen across the entire income distribution, with the largest declines for families in the middle class”. Another measure of financial democracy is decentralization–local governments’ share of spending. Economist Pierre Landry says, “One would expect the PRC to be one of the most centralized countries. Instead, China's observed level of decentralization is consistent with the behavior of a federal democracy. A 2004 International Monetary Fund (IMF) study found that, in 1972-2000, this figure averaged 25 percent for liberal democracies and 18 percent for non-democracies. But, for China, the average figure was 54 percent for 1958-2002 and, by 2014, it had risen to a staggering 85 percent”.Today, clearly, things suck less in China than in the US. More Chinese own their homes, for example:People are safer, more financially secure, better educated and more trusting of each other their government in China, and a trusting environment contributes to a higher quality of life:Chinese people see that the situation of poor folk is improving, too–and equitability is a big factor in quality of life, too:They all look forward to rising real wages–which double every ten years–and that puts everyone in a good mood:And their kids can look forward to making more than they do, which makes every parent happy:So it’s not only the CCP that views democracy as a concept that is positive and beneficial–it’s everybody. Or 96% of them, anyway.
