In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the MSSc in Government and Politics (Greater China) (GPGC), the TPg Programme Office of the Department of GPA organized a banquet on 24 March 2023 (Friday) in CUHK for alumni, students, and teachers to get together. The banquet was filled with events lined up for the evening, including an opening remark by Department Head, Prof. Carlos LO, a welcoming address by the Programme Director Prof Vivian ZHAN, a keynote speech given by Prof. Patrick Nip Tak-Kuen GPS, JP, and a group photo taking session. Prof. Nip’s sharing and insights on the implementation of the “One Country, Two Systems Policy” have been very well received by all GPGC members. We are also honored to have invited Miss Wu Xinchun, Class 2019 and current anchor & reporter with Phoenix TV (HK), to be the MC. It was a wonderful evening filled with joy, laughter, and chat. We greatly appreciate the community’s support to GPGC all along and in the many years to come!
On 22 April 2023 (Sat), GPGC teachers and students had a Term End Gathering at the Chung Chi College Staff Club to celebrate the end of the academic term and to bid farewell to the Class of 2023. The teachers and students enjoyed their time with delicious dim sum and casual chats. The academic year has been concluded successfully with this joyful event.
Professor Vivian Zhan, Programme Director of GPGC, welcomed new students and encouraged them to become a person of H.O.P.E., which in simple translation, is a person of High aspiration, Open mind, Professionalism, and Exploration.
The session was followed by an introduction to important academic matters, programme activities and university resources. Students then participated actively in the Q&A session.
Lastly, teachers and students were assigned to small groups to mingle and get to know each other before the start of the academic year.
We wish all GPGC students a healthy and fruitful academic year ahead!

十二月二日上午，我們很榮幸邀請到香港特區政府政制及內地事務局前任局長、現任中文大學榮譽教授聶德權先生就「內地生在香港的機遇與挑戰」主題與學子們進行座談。二十多位GPGC及其他課程的同學及校友聚首一堂參與活動。
聶教授首先介紹了最近非常流行的人工智能聊天機器人對該題目的回答，然後切入特區政府提出的一系列為香港「搶人才」的措施，與參加者暢談香港如何依靠人才計劃，不斷增強發展動能，在融入大灣區的同時也保持自身的獨特性，以及內地生在此背景下有何機遇和挑戰。
本次座談會由GPGC課程管理委員會成員、中文大學政治與行政學系高級講師蔡子強先生擔任主持。在蔡生和聶教授的鼓勵下，GPGC同學和校友們踴躍分享自己來港讀書、工作過程中的難忘經歷與未來的計劃。兩個小時的座談會在熱烈融洽的氛圍下圓滿結束，與會者互相交換了聯繫方式，期待再聚。]
