Book Description
So you call yourself a Christian, an ambassador, or representative of God's kingdom. Now what? This probing question has to be in the mind and thought of every child of God. It is important to remind the reader of this book that ideas and issues that you contemplate in this book will be of no use to you if Jesus is not your Savior. However, if you have picked up this book to read, it means that there is one more opportunity to make Jesus your Lord and Savior. So having said that, pray the following prayer with me: Lord Jesus, I thank you that you died for my sins. I do accept your redemptive act in Calvary. Come into my life and change me. Reflect and reveal your wisdom to me for it is in your name that I do pray. Amen.

One Country, Two Systems
Author: Kam C. Wong
Publisher: Transaction Publishers
ISBN: 1412846749
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 235
Book Description
The legal issues evoked by cross-border crime in Hong Kong and China are sparse and what does exist is mostly in Chinese. This book provides the first systematic, comprehensive, and in-depth analysis of how Chinese, British, Hong Kong, and international law were applied in the “Big Spender” case. Kam C. Wong outlines the respective positions of various parties to the dispute. Part of the case’s fascination involves competing interests, and that political clout counted for more than legal theory. “Big Spender” may be little known outside Hong Kong and China, but he made history there. It was the first time a Hong Kong legal resident had been prosecuted, tried, and ultimately executed in China for acts largely perpetrated in Hong Kong. The case tested the limits of the one-country, two-systems approach under which Hong Kong and China coexist. It also forced politicians, government officials, and the public in both Hong Kong and China to come to terms with the legal and policy issues related to cross-border crime. Wong sees the “Big Spender” case as making clear the dire need for both sides to find workable solutions to concurrent jurisdiction, police cooperation, and judicial assistance. Until there is an acceptable arrangement governing the rendition of offenders between Hong Kong and mainland China, the one- country, two-systems formula cannot be stabilized. This is a “case study” in large-scale terms.

One Country, Two Systems In Crisis
Author: Wong
Publisher: Lexington Books
ISBN: 0739130366
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 255
Book Description
In the tumultuous negotiations of the Sino-British Joint Declaration of 1984, the United Kingdom willingly signed over Hong Kong's reigns to the People's Republic of China, but with the presupposition that the PRC would faithfully implement the principle of 'one country, two systems' for the following fifty years. Yet since the handover in 1997, the PRC has failed to allow Hong Kong a higher degree of autonomy. 'One Country, Two Systems' in Crisis elucidates how China's intervention has curtailed Hong Kong's civil liberties; how freedom of speech is at the mercy of the government; and how deception has turned the 'Pearl of the Orient' into the rubber stamp of the Chinese Communist Party.
