ESTABLISHMENT DAY IN HONG KONG 2018

July 1st is Establishment Day in Hong Kong

History

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Establishment Day celebrates the end of British rule over Hong Kong on this day in 1997 after more than 150 years. Hong Kong Island was ceded to the British in the Treaty of Nanking and made into a Crown Colony. In the following years, the British amassed more and more territory, gradually gaining land up to the Shenzhen River.

In 1984, the People’s Republic of China expressed its wish for Hong Kong to be returned to it, and the British government eventually agreed. On 1 July 1997, Hong Kong was made a Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China but was kept capitalist to preserve the Hong Kong way of life for 50 years after the cession date. Macau followed two years later when it too was given to China from Portugal on December 20, 1999.

Celebration Today

The main attraction on Establishment Day is the fireworks display over Victoria Harbor the evening of July 1, as shown in the picture above.
Another de facto tradition are protest marches advocating for human rights, suffrage, and free speech. These protests frequently occur at Wan Chai, Causeway Bay, and Central.

2018年香港成立日

7月1日是香港的成立日
历史
香港特别行政区成立日是在1997年的这一天庆祝英国统治香港150多年后结束。香港在南京条约中被割让给英国，并成为直辖殖民地，在随后的几年里，英国积累了越来越多的领土，逐渐获得了深圳河的土地。
1984年，中华人民共和国表示希望香港回归，英国政府最终同意。1997 年 7 月 1 日，香港成为中华人民共和国的特别行政区，但在割让日期之后的50年里，它一直保持资本主义，以维持香港的生活方式。两年后，1999 年 12 月 20 日，葡萄牙也将澳门交给了中国。
庆祝
成立日的主要景点是7月1日晚上维多利亚港的烟花汇演。
另一个事实上的传统是倡导人权、选举权和言论自由的抗议游行。这些抗议活动经常发生在湾仔、铜锣湾和中环。

TURN YOUR CREATIVE PASSION INTO A BUSINESS AT THE JCCAC

JCCAC Arts Village and Arts Centre

The JCCAC calls itself a “multidisciplinary arts village and arts centre” that is dedicated to cultivating a creative spirit that nurtures creators and encourages visitors to live a more artistic life. On the ground floor and in the basement, there are frequent classes, theatre productions, and shops open to the public to visit and view. On the higher floors, there are studios available for rent to full-time artists.

Every three months, the JCCAC holds a handicraft fair to highlights the art created by its members and other artists in Hong Kong. Centre O attended and interviewed one of the exhibitors. 

Sewn Sewn Interview

Interview with Aiden, Founder of SEWNSEWN

Q. How did you apply to get a booth?

A. Their Facebook and Instagram had the most up to date information. There were some forms to fill out, asking about your brand, what you sell, about your training, your usual price range, and for a portfolio. You submit the forms online about two months beforehand and they take about a month to reply. I think there were about 500 applications and 100 booths, so I was delighted to be among the selected artists!

Q. How much did it cost? Was it worth it?

A. I rented a full table for two days, which was HK$800, but a half table is only $400. Since I paid over PayPal, I was charged an extra $65, too. There was the option to get a power strip for $100 and extra chairs for $50, but I didn’t need those. It was worth it for me, I gained a lot of good exposure and made a small profit. I was in the basement with the newer brands, too, and the more established creators on the first floor received a bit more space and traffic. During the fair, you can also visit the studios on the higher floors, but they don’t sell anything there. I plan on attending again in December.

Q. What advice do you have for entrepreneurs applying and selling there?

A. Produce something unique. That’s what they’re really looking at. Most people were looking to pay $200-300 at each place they like. My handbags were more expensive than that, but I still did well because people are ready to pay more for more elaborated products. If you really like Instagram or Facebook, offer a discount for follows and likes. It’s a great way to get exposure.

Aiden Wong, Founder of SewnSewn, @sewnsewn


The Jockey Club Creative Arts Centre fair is a great place for new and experienced artists alike to sell their goods. On every other day of the year, the JCCAC is a great resource for artists starting off, so check it out at the Shek Kip Mei station.

在杰克逊县公民行动委员会（JCCAC） 将您的创意热情转化为业务

JCCAC艺术村和艺术中心
JCCAC 称自己为“多学科艺术村和艺术中心”，致力于培养创新精神，培养创作者并鼓励游客过上更艺术的生活。在一楼和地下室，经常有课程、戏剧作品和商店向公众开放参观和观看。在较高楼层，有可供全职艺术家租用的工作室。
JCCAC 每三个月举办一次手工艺品展，以展示其会员和其他香港艺术家创作的艺术品。Center O 出席并采访了其中一位参展商。 
 
专访SEWNSEWN创始人Aiden
问：您是如何申请获得展位的？
A. 他们的Facebook和Instagram拥有最新的信息。有一些表格需要填写，询问您的品牌、您销售的产品、您的培训、您通常的价格范围以及投资组合。您大约提前两个月在网上提交表格，他们需要大约一个月的时间来回复。我想大约有 500 个申请和 100 个展位，所以我很高兴能成为入选艺术家之一！
问：花了多少钱？值得吗？
A. 我租了两天一桌，800元港币，半桌才400元港币。因为我是通过 PayPal 支付的，所以我也被收取了 65 港元的额外费用。可以选择购买电源板，价格是 100 港元，购买额外的椅子价格是 50 港元，但我不需要这些。这对我来说是值得的，我获得了很多良好的曝光率并获得了微薄的利润；我是在地下室和新的品牌在一起的，而一楼更成熟的创作者能获得更多的空间和流量。展会期间，您还可以参观较高楼层的工作室，但那里不出售任何东西。我计划在十二月再次参加。
问：您对在那里申请和销售的企业家有什么建议？
A. 制作一些独特的东西。这才是他们真正关注的。大多数人希望在他们喜欢的每个地方支付 200-300 港元。我的手提包比那里贵，但我仍然做得很好，因为人们愿意为更精致的产品支付更多。如果您真的喜欢 Instagram 或 Facebook，请为关注和喜欢提供折扣，这是获得曝光的好方法。

赛马会创意艺术中心博览会是新老艺术家出售商品的好地方。在一年中的每一天，JCCAC 都是艺术家起步的绝佳资源，因此可以前往石硖尾站查看。

THE EU GENERAL DATA PROTECTION REGULATION (GDPR) SPECIFIC RIGHTS

Below is a follow up on the new EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and an overview of the new data subject rights. Take time to review and make sure you’re aware of the specific processes and actions that your company needs to take to adhere to your users’ rights.

 

Data Subject Rights

Breach Notification

  • It will become mandatory to notify users in all member states where a data breach is likely to “result in a risk for the rights and freedoms of individuals”. This must be done within 72 hours of becoming aware of the breach.

Right to Access

  • Subjects have the right to obtain from the data controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them is being processed, where, and for what purpose.

Right to be Forgotten

  • The right to be forgotten secures the right of the data subject to request the data controller to erase his/her personal data, cease further dissemination of the data, and potentially revoke the right of third parties to continue processing the data.

Data Portability

  • The right for a data subject to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have previously provided in a ‘commonly use and machine readable format’ and have the right to transmit that data to another controller.

Privacy by Design

  • This directive calls for the inclusion of data protection from the onset of the designing of systems, rather than as an addition. More specifically – ‘The controller shall…implement appropriate technical and organisational measures…in an effective way…in order to meet the requirements of this Regulation and protect the rights of data subjects.”

 

Data Protection Officers

  • Under GDPR it will not be necessary to submit notifications / registrations to each local DPA of data processing activities, nor will it be a requirement to notify / obtain approval for transfers based on the Model Contract Clauses (MCCs).

 

Conclusion for Data Subject Rights:

  • The user must be informed of a breach and they have the right to know the usage of their personal data, as well as receive personal data that concerns them
  • The user has the right to request their information deleted/halted
  • Companies using others’ personal data will invest in proper technology and organizational assets to meet requirements of the GDPR
  • There is also a more homogeneous control in the European Union regarding personal data privacy
