  12. Learners will identify the main features of British administration in the first half of the 20th century. They will describe the major administrative changes from 1945 to 1997. Through an examination of the role of local Chinese leaders and associations in the process of these administrative changes, learners will assess the factors/forces fostering changes and continuity. Through enquiring into the major political and institutional changes that occurred in Hong Kong from the beginning of the 20th century to 1997, students will identify the main trends of political development, as well as different stages of development and their salient features.

  14. Learners will examine the economic, social and cultural developments of Hong Kong in the light of the development of Hong Kong into an international city. They will characterize the different stages of economic development and changes in populations, and show how they brought about urbanization as well as changes in social structure. For the cultural aspect, Learners will cite examples to illustrate the coexistence and interaction of Chinese and foreign cultures, and develop an awareness of the characteristics of their own culture. The various links with the mainland and the changing role of Hong Kong in Asia-Pacific Rim at different stages will also be analyzed. Through investigating the long-term process of economic and social changes in Hong Kong, students will trace and explain the development of Hong Kong as an international city. They will describe the salient features of different stages of economic development, as well as the phenomena of urbanisation and population changes. They will also cite examples to illustrate the coexistence and interaction of Chinese and foreign cultures, and develop an awareness of the characteristics of their own culture. They will also analyse Hong Kong’s links with the mainland and its role in the Asia-Pacific Rim in different periods.

  17. Industrialization, 1950-70 Industrial development in Hong Kong before 1970s (late 19th century, early 20th century, 1950s-60s, late 1960s-70s) Reasons (internal - stable business environment, government efforts, abundant supply of cheap labour, external - preferential tariffs, capital and labour from China, embargo on China) Features (light industries, labour-intensive, small-scale, export-oriented) Population movement Owing to wars (Second Sino-Japanese War and Chinese Civil War) and political instability (the founding of the People's Republic of China) in China, Hong Kong became a shelter for mainland Chinese because it was relatively stable. During the period of 1950-70s, Hong Kong developed from an entrepot into an industrial city. The society was relatively stable. There was a great demand for labour. The birth rate in Hong Kong thus remained relatively high.

  18. For the cultural aspect, Learners will cite examples to illustrate the coexistence and interaction of Chinese and foreign cultures, and develop an awareness of the characteristics of their own culture. They will also cite examples to illustrate the coexistence and interaction of Chinese and foreign cultures, and develop an awareness of the characteristics of their own culture.

  19. Hong Kong is a society of multi-cultures. Chinese, European, American, Japanese and other cultures coexist or interact with one another, and Hong Kong people are generally receptive to all these foreign cultures. As a result, a unique Hong Kong culture has been created. It is a mixture of east and west, as well as of tradition and modernity.

  20. The various links with the mainland and the changing role of Hong Kong in Asia-Pacific Rim at different stages will also be analyzed. They will also analyse Hong Kong’s links with the mainland and its role in the Asia-Pacific Rim in different periods.
