The Burning China Has Become a Forum Topic The content of Mr. Yip Kwok-wah's new book The Burning China has become a topic of discussion in a forum on the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The book jointly published by Yew Chung Publishing House and Chung Hwa Book Co. points out that rule by law is key to China's opening and reform. In the forum jointly organised by Cable TV and Hongkong Federation of Youth Groups (HKFYG), the host asked the guest speaker Mr. Yip to elaborate on this point raised in his book. The forum was held on August 13, 2009 in the Hong Kong building of the HKFYG and was broadcast live by Cable TV. Mr. Yip talked about the difficulties and challenges China has faced in its past 60 years in the areas of history, politics, livelihood and economy and the country’s direction in development. In the four areas, Mr. Yip first gave his views and then members of the HKYFG's "Hong Kong 200" leadership project gave their responses. The 150 university and secondary schools present in the event had the chances to ask questions and carry out exchanges with Mr. Yip. To help enhance the understanding of Hong Kong's young people on China, Yew Chung Publishing House at the end of the forum presented 10 copies of The Burning China to HKYFG. Issues such as environment, energy, cultural clashes and the country's direction of development discussed in the book are those topics that Mr. Yip hopes the young generation concern themselves with.
