Owing to the introduction of privatisation and commodification policies, the housing systems of Hong Kong and China increasingly converge. A new housing regime, a marketised socialist model, is emerging in China. This model differs from the liberal interventionist model of Hong Kong in that the state owns the financial institutions and most housing producers, saving for housing expenditure is compulsory, and hence the government has a greater role in the housing market. The models' similarities are their sizeable public housing sectors, the state ownership of land, the heavy subsidies for the sale of public housing and the establishment of secondary housing markets within the public housing sector.

As the governments of most developed countries do, the Hong Kong government recommodifies public housing, claiming that the policy more effectively and efficiently meets people's housing needs. The claim has been largely unchallenged. This paper argues that the policy does not benefit everyone and that the interests of many disadvantaged groups, such as the elderly, lone-parent families, women and new immigrants, are sacrificed. Much of the exclusion and deprivation is camouflaged by so-called cultural values and common practice, such as familialism and Confucianism. This paper shows that housing policy, interweaving with dominant cultural values, social discourse and social practice, is depriving many disadvantaged groups of the housing resources they badly need.

Based on a survey of households conducted in 1996, this study analyses the pattern of residential moves resulting from commodity housing development in Beijing. While short-distance moves were important, a large proportion of the moves recorded were of longer distance. A clear suburbanisation trend is discerned. The work units and the housing bureaux to a significant extent still controlled residential location and relocation in the city, even though housing in the primary market had become a commodity. A logistic regression analysis of the data shows that people who relied on the work units for housing were more inclined to end up in the outer city districts, whereas people who depended on the housing bureaux for welfare housing were more likely to be provided with inner city residences. The results also indicate the continued importance of membership of the Chinese Communist Party and its powerful influence on residential location.

. We report the discovery of the 21" (cid:22) m and 30" (cid:22) m features in the planetary nebulae around the hydrogen-de(cid:12)cient stars HD 826 and HD 158269. The carriers of these features are known to be produced in outflows around carbon-rich stars. This discovery demonstrates that the bulk of the dust in these nebulae has been produced during a carbon-rich phase before the atmospheres of these stars became hydrogen poor. This is the (cid:12)rst time that the 21" (cid:22) m feature has been detected in any planetary nebula. It shows that once formed its carrier can survive the formation of the nebula and the exposure to the UV radiation of the hot central star. This means that the carrier of 21" (cid:22) m feature is not transient: the absence of the feature sets limits on the production of its carrier.

This book contains a thorough and balanced series of dialogues introducing key topics in philosophy of religion, such as: the existence and nature of God, the problem of evil, religious pluralism, the nature of religious experience, immortality, and the meaning of life. A realistic cast of characters in a natural setting engages in a series of thought-provoking conversations the dialogue format of these conversations captures typical student attitudes and questions concerning religious belief allows comparison of important themes throughout the dialogues encourages the interjection of insights, observations, questions, and objections and introduces related points when they would naturally arise, instead of relegating them to a later chapter. As well as presenting a detailed and probing discussion, each dialogue includes a list of key terms, a set of study questions, and a bibliography - all of which make this an excellent text for courses in philosophy of religion and introductory philosophy classes.
