Civil Service College and Peking University's joint programme holds lecture on Chinese traditional political characteristics (with photos)

******************************************************************************************

The Civil Service College (CSC) of the Civil Service Bureau, in collaboration with the Institute for Hong Kong and Macau Studies, Peking University, launched an in-depth programme on "one country, two systems" and the contemporary China. As part of the programme, a lecture on the topic of "Chinese Traditional Political Characteristics" was delivered by Professor Ye Wei of the Department of History of Peking University at the CSC today (October 17).

Addressing the lecture, the Head of the CSC, Mr Oscar Kwok, stressed that senior civil servants of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government must have a profound understanding of the international landscape and development trends. They must also delve deeply into the country's history, traditions and culture, understanding their relevance to today's national affairs. Moreover, they should learn from history, observe and analyse issues from a historical perspective. By adopting a holistic approach, they can play a greater role in their work and jointly provide Hong Kong's contribution to the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

Around 70 civil servants at the rank of Directorate Pay Scale Point 1 and 2 attended the in-depth programme. In addition, about 100 politically appointed officials and other directorate officers enrolled and sat in the lecture via video conferencing.

The programme was organised to further strengthen training for senior officials and directorate civil servants. It consists of 12 monthly lectures covering a wide range of topics, such as the Communist Party of China and the contemporary China, socialism with Chinese characteristics, the theory and practice of "one country, two systems", as well as developments in contemporary Chinese society, economy, national defence, technology, and more. Distinguished scholars from the Mainland will deliver the programme and engage in in-depth discussions with participants.
