For this week on “What’s on World Wide Campus?”, here’s today’s news about Beijing experts say Hong Kong’s civil servants and students need to be educated on Chinese constitution and Basic Law.

According to South China Morning Post, Hong Kong’s civil servants and young people need to know more about the Chinese constitution and the Basic Law, which two Beijing experts said were the foundation of the city’s well-being.

Renmin University law professor Han Dayuan, who sits on the Basic Law Committee which advises the national legislature on the city’s mini constitution, and Wang Zhimin, director of the central government’s liaison office in Hong Kong, were speaking at a high-powered seminar on Wednesday attended by about 700 people, including the city’s top officials, politicians, educators and secondary school students.

The event in Hong Kong was organised to commemorate China’s National Constitution Day, the 37th anniversary of the promulgation of the 1982 Chinese constitution.

During a 30-minute speech, Han highlighted the Chinese constitution and national sovereignty as foundations of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR), which was established when the city was handed back by the British in 1997.
