TAIWAN: TREATY THAT CEDED HONG FROM CHINA TO BRITAIN DISPLAYED

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:14
Updated: 21 Jul 2015

Mandarin/Nat In an attempt to draw attention away from Hong Kong, Taiwan has displayed the original treaty that ceded Hong Kong from China to Britain 145 years ago. The treaty is known as the Treaty of Nanking. Taiwan's Foreign Minister said that Hong Kong's democratic future would be assured if the colony was returned to Hong Kong instead of Beijing on July 1. When China takes over Hong Kong on Tuesday, it won't have any proof of ownership, because the original proof is inside this building in Taiwan. Taiwan's nationalists unveiled documents which included the original Treaty of Nanking. It was with this treaty, signed August 29, 1842, that China ceded Hong Kong to Britain. Taiwan holds the original Chinese language version and Britain holds the original English version. The Nationalists fled Taiwan in 1949 after losing a civil war to the Communists on the mainland. They protested when Britain opened negotiations with Beijing in 1984 regarding Hong Kong's return to Chinese sovereignty. They no longer compete with Beijing to represent China internationally, but still officially claim all of China. China has promised to leave Hong Kong's capitalist economy and institutions unchanged for 50 years. But plans to roll back some civil liberties in the territory have raised concerns of backsliding. Foreign Minister John Chang said possession of the treaty gives Taiwan sovereignty over Hong Kong. SOUNDBITE: (Mandarin) "If England had diplomatic relations with us, then England will of course negotiate with us, it is was like this, Hong Kong, after July 1, would not be under 'one country, two systems' but under 'one country, one system' then there would not be any indecisiveness or worries." SUPER CAPTION: John Chang, R-O-C Foreign Minister Taiwan's Foreign Ministry owns the Chinese version of the treaty, signed by British Authorized Representative Sir Henry Pottinger and stamped with Chinese imperial seals. Another copy is held by the family of the Qing dynasty signatory, Imperial Emissary Ch'i-ying, in China, and Britain keeps the English version.

The second of whats it like for your average American in China; in the city of Shanghai. Shanghai is the largest Chinese city by population and the largest city proper by population in the world. It is one of the four direct-controlled municipalities of the People's Republic of China, with a population of more than 24 million as of 2013. It is a global financial center, and a transport hub with the world's busiest container port. Located in the Yangtze River Delta in East China, Shanghai sits on the south edge of the mouth of the Yangtze in the middle portion of the Chinese coast. The municipality borders the provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the north, south and west, and is bounded to the east by the East China Sea. For centuries a major administrative, shipping, and trading town, Shanghai grew in importance in the 19th century due to European recognition of its favorable port location and economic potential. The city was one of five opened to foreign trade following the British victory over China in the First Opium War while the subsequent 1842 Treaty of Nanking and 1844 Treaty of Whampoa allowed the establishment of the Shanghai International Settlement and the French Concession. The city then flourished as a center of commerce between east and west, and became the undisputed financial hub of the Asia Pacific in the 1930s.[14] However, with the Communist Party takeover of the mainland in 1949, trade was reoriented to focus on socialist countries, and the city's global influence declined. In the 1990s, the economic reforms introduced by Deng Xiaoping resulted in an intense re-development of the city, aiding the return of finance and foreign investment to the city. Shanghai is a popular tourist destination renowned for its historical landmarks such as The Bund, City God Temple and Yu Garden as well as the extensive Lujiazui skyline and major museums including the Shanghai Museum and the China Art Museum. It has been described as the "showpiece" of the booming economy of mainland China.

Museum expo enlivens Basic Law (3.5.2015)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 2:22
Updated: 02 May 2015

To mark the 25th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law, the Museum of History is hosting an exhibition featuring valuable pieces and photographs from an important time in Hong Kong’s past. Jointly presented by the Basic Law Promotion Steering Committee, Constitutional & Mainland Affairs Bureau and the Leisure & Cultural Services Department, “The Exhibition of the 25th Anniversary of the Promulgation of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China” aims to deepen people’s knowledge about the city’s mini-constitution from its drafting and promulgation to its successful implementation. The document The Basic Law was enacted by the National People's Congress in accordance with the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. It enshrines in the form of law, the important concepts of "one country, two systems", "Hong Kong people administering Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy. The Basic Law was adopted and promulgated by the NPC on April 4, 1990. It came into effect on July 1, 1997 - the day when the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was established. Exhibit highlights include wax figures of Deng Xiaoping and Margaret Thatcher meeting for the negotiation of Hong Kong's future in Beijing’s Great Hall of the People in 1982. The figures were produced by the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts to commemorate the first anniversary of the handover. Interactive history Visitors also get the chance to touch a piece of history in the form of two lecterns that were used by Mainland and British officials during the handover ceremony held on the night of June 30, 1997, at the new wing of the Convention & Exhibition Centre. The expo not only looks back at the history of the Basic Law but also key moments in Hong Kong's past. On display are replicas of the 1842 Treaty of Nanking which ceded Hong Kong Island to the British, and the 1860 Convention of Peking in which Britain acquired Kowloon Peninsula. Other valuable exhibits include the Consultative Committee for the Basic Law commemorative medal, the Basic Law public consultation paper issued in 1988 and the ballot envelope used by the Election Committee in the first Hong Kong Chief Executive election in 1996. Enriching knowledge People of all ages are invited to play interactive games, read historical e-documents, use the photo-taking area and enjoy family activities in the parent-child zone. Principal Assistant Secretary for Constitutional & Mainland Affairs Daisy Lo hopes the exhibition will attract a young crowd too. “We would like to draw our youngsters’ attention so that they can learn more about the Basic Law, and arouse public interest in reading this constitutional document, which is the most important document in Hong Kong.” The exhibition will run until May 25.
