Act Now (slogan)

Act Now (in Chinese: 起錨, literally "set sail") is a slogan proposed by the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Donald Tsang Yam-kuen, on May 29, 2010,[1] with the meaning of "it's time to take action".[2] It served as the theme for the promotion of the 2012 political reform proposal.[3] In the logo of "Act Now", the color blue represents the ocean, and the stroke of the Chinese character "起" resembles a ship sailing in the sea, symbolizing setting sail and embarking on a journey.[4] The slogan aimed to encourage Hong Kong citizens to support the political reform proposal put forward by the government in 2012.[5] However, some opponents changed "起錨" ("Act Now") to "超错" ("All Wrong") to express their dissatisfaction.[6] After about a month of "Act Now" promotion, the proposal was ultimately approved on June 24 and 25.[7]

Background

At the time, Donald Tsang Yam-kuen was the Chief Executive of Hong Kong.

After the rejection of the political reform proposal in 2005,[8] although the Hong Kong government published a Green Paper on constitutional development in 2007,[9] Subsequently, the pan-democrats initiated the Umbrella Movement in 2012 to rally public support.[10] Two months later, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) issued the "Decision of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress on Issues Relating to the Methods for Selecting the Chief Executive of Hong Kong and for Forming the Legislative Council in 2012 and on Issues Relating to Universal Suffrage", rejecting the pan-democrats' proposal for dual universal suffrage in 2012 but stipulating that the Chief Executive election in 2017 and the Legislative Council election in 2020 could be conducted through universal suffrage.[11] On the day the decision was announced, the pan-democrats organized a protest march against the NPC's rejection of universal suffrage, and Democratic Party founding chairman Martin Lee went on a hunger strike in protest.[12] In 2008, the Hong Kong Human Rights Front launched a large-scale march to continue advocating for dual universal suffrage in 2012.[13] In 2009, the Bureau for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Stephen Lam pointed out the need for a gradual approach to universal suffrage.[14] On November 18, the Hong Kong government released the "Consultation Document on the Methods for Selecting the Chief Executive and for Forming the Legislative Council in 2012", seeking public opinion.[15]

In early 2010, the Power for Democracy and the pan-democrats jointly organized the "Restore Universal Suffrage" New Year's Day march, continuing their advocacy for universal suffrage.[16] Meanwhile, the Civic Party and the League of Social Democrats officially launched the "Five Constituencies Referendum" in an attempt to gain public support through the 2010 Hong Kong Legislative Council by-elections, aiming to achieve the goal of "achieving genuine universal suffrage as soon as possible and abolishing functional constituencies".[17] Eventually, all resigned members returned to the Legislative Council.[18] Subsequently, the Democratic Party, leading the opposition to the resignation plan, along with other pan-democratic members such as the Association for Democracy and People's Livelihood of Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions, formed the Ultimate Universal Suffrage Alliance. They met with Li Gang, Deputy Director of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in Hong Kong, to seek consensus on issues such as universal suffrage.[19] Later, the Hong Kong government vigorously promoted political reform, releasing several advertisements to promote the reform.[20] Some newspapers also reported that the government would launch the "largest mass movement since the establishment of the Special Administrative Region".[21]

Some citizens shouted slogans like "Oppose the bad plan, reject functional constituencies".[32] Chik Pun Shing, a member of the Professional Teachers' Union, questioned John Tsang about how this political reform proposal is more democratic than the previous one. Tsang responded with a simple "Thank you", and when asked what he was thanking for, he replied, "Thank you for being loud", before entering the Sha Tin Town Hall. At that moment, there were no protesters surrounding them, only Chik Pun Shing, John Tsang, and reporters.[33] Some citizens who received flyers questioned Donald Tsang, "Act Now? Where to go after acting?" referring to the destination after taking action, but Tsang did not respond to the question.[34] Later, Tsang met with the media and led a group of officials in shouting the "Act Now" slogan.[35] The officials were laughing and unevenly chanting the slogan, while some remained unresponsive.[36] On the same day, the Hong Kong government established the "Act Now" group on Facebook to promote political reform[37] and released promotional videos featuring three Executive Council members, Rita Lau, Rita Fan, and Ronald Arculli, supporting "Act Now".[5]

On May 30, Donald Tsang appealed to citizens in the radio program "A Letter to Hong Kong", urging them to express their unwillingness for the political system to stand still to their respective district legislators.[38] On May 31, Secretary for Constitutional and Mainland Affairs Stephen Lam attended a special meeting of the Sham Shui Po District Council, chanting slogans such as "Hong Kong, democracy, Act Now".

On June 6, the Hong Kong government announced a three-route promotional strategy for the political reform. Donald Tsang would first promote it at Kornhill Plaza in Quarry Bay and then move on to Oi Tung Estate shopping mall in Shau Kei Wan.[54] Henry Tang would begin at Festival Walk in Kowloon Tong and later proceed to the West Kowloon Centre in Sham Shui Po.[55] Additionally, John Tsang and Jensen Huang would promote the reform at the Sai Kung Public Pier and Tseung Kwan O MTR Station.[56] While promoting in Quarry Bay, Donald Tsang chanted "Act Now" to garner support for the political reform.[57] However, protesters shouted slogans for universal suffrage,[58] with some even using vulgar language. Due to the chaos, Tsang left without interacting with citizens.[59] In contrast, Secretary for Education Michael Suen successfully avoided protesters and received cheers of "Act Now" from children.[60] In Shau Kei Wan, Tsang used the example of fishermen during their off-season to illustrate the campaign's aim,[61] emphasizing that the ultimate goal of "Act Now" is to achieve democracy.[62] Some citizens applauded in support, while others criticized him as "shameful".[63] Development Bureau Secretary Carrie Lam and Secretary for the Civil Service Paul Tang distributed "Act Now" promotional materials to citizens.[60] Meanwhile, Henry Tang, while promoting in Kowloon Tong, repeatedly shouted "Act Now"[64] and officials, including Secretary for Home Affairs Tsang Tak-sing, Secretary for Labour and Welfare Matthew Cheung, Secretary for the Environment Edward Yau, Secretary for Food and Health York Chow, and Undersecretary for Development Gabriel Leung, distributed "Act Now" leaflets. Protesters continuously responded with chants of "All Wrong",[60] and some even tried to block Tang's departure by lying in front of his convoy.[65] In Sham Shui Po, Tang, along with several officials, shouted "Act Now" multiple times,[66] and again, protesters attempted to block his departure by lying in front of his convoy.[67] Additionally, John Tsang, upon arriving in Sai Kung, received a persimmon from a member of the League of Social Democrats, Chin Wai-lok, as a sarcastic gesture.[68] Despite wearing "Act Now" T-shirts, both John Tsang and Wong Yan Lung faced boos from citizens[69] while using a loudspeaker to urge support for political reform in Tseung Kwan O.[70] Supporters and opponents of the political reform surrounded them, chanting "Act Now" and "All Wrong" respectively.[71] Liberal Party District Councillor Christine Fong Kwok-shan also assisted in promoting.[72] Secretary for Security Ambrose Lee, Secretary for Transport and Housing Eva Cheng, Undersecretary for Transport and Housing Yau Shing-mu, and Secretary for Financial Services and the Treasury Chan Ka-keung distributed "Act Now" leaflets nearby. Some citizens and their children responded by shouting, "Support political reform, don't stand still on the political system!".[60]

Impact

Terminology

Candlelight: "超錯" ("All Wrong")

The term "起錨" proposed by Donald Tsang has become a trendy phrase in Hong Kong.[150] Legislator Regina Ip from the Professional Forum wrote an article titled "Political reform needs to anchor; public opinion needs respect" in support of the political reform in Wen Wei Po.[151] During protests, demonstrators chanted "起錨, 起錨" ("Act Now, Act Now") when they were obstructed by the police, seeking a way forward.[152] In addition, Democratic Party legislator Nelson Wong expressed that the government's services for people with disabilities also need to "起錨" ("set sail").[153]

Democratic Party legislator James To criticized the Hong Kong government for obstructing the entry of the Goddess of Democracy sculptor Chen Wei-ming, stating, "香港極權起錨，自由拋錨" ("Hong Kong's extreme authority anchors up, freedom anchors away").[154] The Student Union of the Chinese University of Hong Kong used the slogan "女神起錨" ("Goddess set sail") to transport the Goddess of Democracy into CUHK.[155]

Democratic Party Chairman Albert Ho described the universal suffrage issue as following: "don't know where to go after anchoring; now the boat is circling", to express confusion over the direction of the universal suffrage issue.[156] Hong Kong Commercial Daily called for moderate democrats to support political reform with the headline "Anchor up for Hong Kong democracy!".[157] Protect Diaoyu Islands activists marched to the U.S. Consulate on Garden Road holding banners with "起錨" ("Act Now") expressing their dissatisfaction.[158] After visiting the Ocean Park, Allan Zeman, the Chairman of the Park, shouted "Act now" in support of taking action.[159] On the day of the vote on political reform, citizens and groups supporting the reform shouted "Act Now" at Chater Garden,[160] and Democratic Party Vice Chairman Emily Lau went forward to shake hands with them, receiving the response "起錨" ("set sail").[161]

"All Wrong"

Some netizens dissatisfied with "Act Now" changed it to "超錯" ("All Wrong") or "收皮" ("Shōu pí" in Cantonese slang, meaning "to be more frugal").[6] Due to the close resemblance of the font between "All Wrong" and "Act Now", "All Wrong" quickly became a trendy term in Hong Kong.[162]

Hong Kong politics

Some netizens mockingly referred to the originator of "Act Now" ("set sail"), Donald Tsang, as the "captain of the Titanic".[163] In addition, RTHK director Franklin Wong was criticized by pan-democratic lawmakers for continuously promoting "Act Now" on the radio.[164] Subsequently, Cheng Yiu-tong, the convener of the Alliance for Moving Forward with Constitutional Development and the chairman of the Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, organized a large rally on June 19 in Victoria Park to support the political reform proposal, using the theme of "setting sail", aligning with the government's "Act Now" initiative.[165]

Donald Tsang summarized the "Act Now" action as follows: "This time, going to the districts is a new experience and challenge. By taking action, we are pushing democracy one step forward. How can it be wrong?".[166] After "Act Now," a survey by the One Country Two Systems Research Institute showed that the support rate for the political reform proposal had decreased to 54%, a 2% decline from the previous survey.[167] The Secretary-General of the Civic Party, Kenneth Chan Ka-lok, said: "Before the "Act Now" action, when discussing the details of the debate (referring to the debate with Donald Tsang), the other party was willing to consider more. However, in recent days, they have been unwilling to accept it".[168]

Furthermore, Henry Tang, during his attendance at the New Territories Association of Societies, believed that his work theme in 2010, "New Starting Point, New Milestone," resonated with "起錨" (Lift the Anchor). After the second round of "起錨," Donald Tsang's score in the public opinion survey conducted by the University of Hong Kong's Public Opinion Programme was 49.2, showing an increase of 0.2 points compared to the previous survey.[169] At the same time, the Political Reform Dynamic Force of the business and professional sectors supporting political reform announced that it had sent a circular to approximately 2.4 million households and business enterprises across Hong Kong, explaining: "Rejecting the proposal again would be 'All Wrong,' supporting political reform is to 'set sail.'"[170] The Power for Democracy group, supporting political reform, sent letters to around 2.4 million households and business entities across Hong Kong, explaining: "Veto the plan again: All Wrong. Support political reform, Set Sail".[170]

Ming Pao newspaper noted that the "Act Now" action led to social polarization.[171] The University of Hong Kong's Public Opinion Programme reported that after "Act Now", the opposition to the government's proposed 2012 Chief Executive election method increased by 9 percentage points to 43%, while those in favor decreased to 41%.[172]

The promotional video was questioned as political advertising that should be regulated.[173] After the political reform proposal was passed, security chief political assistant Lo Jik-gei, still wearing the "Act Now" lapel pin, was mocked by Tang Yau-kay, the vice chair of the Hong Kong Girl Guides Association.[174] Legislators Andrew Leung, who participated in the movement, received the Gold Bauhinia Star, while Lew Mon-hung, a National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference member, received the Bronze Bauhinia Star. Senior Lecturer Choy Ji-keung from the Department of Politics and Public Administration at the Chinese University of Hong Kong questions whether the Hong Kong government is engaging in "rewarding based on contributions".[175]

The pan-democratic camp planned to lodge a complaint with the Broadcasting Authority against the "Act Now" promotional video, alleging it violated the law.[176] Sing Tao Daily reported that within the government, "Act Now" was considered the "back story" of the political reform proposal.[177] Democratic Party legislator Cheung Man-kwong questioned Donald Tsang's motivation for launching the "Act Now" action, suggesting he was afraid of stepping down.[178]
