Upon the implementation of the National Security Law and enhancement of the electoral system, Hong Kong has entered a new phase of "Patriots Administration". Chief Executive John Lee proclaimed in his 2022 inaugural Policy Address that Hong Kong has achieved a major transition from chaos to order and is now at the crucial stage of advancing from stability to prosperity. The new order has brought about notable changes in the sphere of politics, administration and civil society, expected to deliver better governance systems, governance capability and governance efficacy, so that "our people [...] have a sense of gain and a real taste of the fruits of effective governance" as promised by Mr. Lee. To what extent has such a goal been borne out by public policy performance and results?

Hong Kong used to be a major gateway to China and an intermediary between China and the world particularly the West. However, the world has changed now. Intense US-China rivalry, regional conflicts and anti-globalisation sentiments are defining the new normal. Also, China has transited from an era of reforms through opening to Western markets and methods to the present new era of the China path to modernization. After 2019 China has taken national security as a priority in the city while the doubtful West now sees it as a system less separate from the mainland. Hong Kong seems caught in a dilemma and risks losing its strategic distinctness and connectedness. Can it reinvent its intermediary role in a more complex and polarized world?

Recently the Year 3 Students of Bachelor of Social Sciences (Honours) in Global and Environmental Studies have finished the Overseas Field-based Learning in Tokyo, Japan. This compulsory and credit-bearing field trip was designed to provide students with distinctive learning experience by site visits and dialogue with the locals and students, allowing the students to acquire knowledge not only from papers and classrooms but also on-site observation, in-person experience and ideas exchange.
