It includes contributions from academics, journalists, social and political commentators, who expound on topics in their specialization. This year's report covers a wide range of political, economic, social, and cultural issues, focusing primarily on what is known as the 'late transitional period' — July 1995 to June 1997, a period in which Hong Kong-centred sentiments and Chinese patriotism surface hand-in-hand. Several new chapters have been added, on such topics as China's administration over Hong Kong, consumerism, sports and recreation, as well as Hong Kong-Taiwan relations.
