On July 1, 1997, the Hong Kong SAR was established with the territory’s handover to China and the Basic Law came into effect.

The city has come a long way since its days of being a British colonial outpost. Now it is a metropolitan under Chinese rule. Obviously, the task of implementing the “One Country, Two Systems” political model in Hong Kong is momentous.

Hong Kong Perspectives takes a look at this unique city. Through interviews with major SAR government officials such as Chief Secretary Carrie Lam, Secretary for Justice Rimsky Yuen, Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Raymond Tam, LegCo president Jasper Tsang, as well as experts from think tanks, the program explains the essence of the Basic Law of Hong Kong and explores how it has been implemented citing examples from the past.

Using a multi-prong approach, the program aims to examine the Basic Law in all its aspects concerning the SAR’s policies on finance, education, population, travel, civil service, while anticipating its road ahead.
