| Abstract | When the territory reverts to China on 1 July 1997, its 6.3 million residents will face a host of social challenges, many stemming from their new status as a part of a nation of 1.2 billion people. Tung Chee Hwa, Hong Kong's future chief executive, clearly recognizes the importance of these issues. When he first assigned responsibilities to his top advisers three months ago, they centered on three key areas: housing, education and welfare for the elderly. |
