What would he the possible economic

consequences if

(1) The salaries tax in

Hong Kong were to be

raised by 2%?

(2) Hong Kong were to

impose a tariff on all importa? If the Hong Kong Government were to raise the

salaries tax the

economic consequences could be summarized as follow:

The incomes of all households would decrease owing to the higher tax payments. As a result, the dispose able income in a family will be - reduced, leading to lover purchasing power of the family This is especially true for the lower- income group in Hong Kong. If 2% of

salaries tax rate were to be raised, most of the families will be affected. Since the decrease of disponsable income of each family will lessen the consump- tion power, the aggregate demand for the commodities in the whole economy would decrease. In this case,

the real income of each

household would have been diminished.

3. Consumers will tend

to buy more necessary good rather than luxury goods because their disposable incones dininish when tax increase.

General price level in the economy may: be affected. It may decrease or start to decrease through the working of market. mechanism in local laissez-faire

... economy ..

5. The working

incentives of labour would be discourage. as their earnings are closely related to their taxes. Workers may decline to work hard or to work overtime as leisure becomes more attrative to them. Workers of lower- income group may have to work more so as to offset their losses due to

the

increase of salaries tax. Although : would work more productive efficiency would not be improved because their work incentives would have been discouraged.

7. The ability of

savings in whole economy would be. reduced because of

decreases, a family will save up less

money than before. In the economy,

fixed deposits would

deminish and its

decrease will be

than the

more

decrease of demand deposits.

Accordingly, the creation of bank credit would be hindered owing to reduction of savings. The amount of investment in a family would decrease, leading to the reduction of aggregate investment level of the whole economy. Consequent- ly, capital

accumulation may be impeded.

The distribution, of income in the society would be wore even because

those higher-income group would have to pay greater amount of tax than before. On the other hand,. the increase of taxation will lead to greater govern- ment revenue. This amount of money can be spent on various social services and it will benefit the society and redistribute income)

If the Hong Kong Government were to impose tariff to all imports, the possible. economic consequences. could be summarized as follows:

As Hong Kong is

lack of raw materials

and natural

resources, domestic

production depend

largely on imported

raw materials and

resources. Importers would certainly

raise up the prices of those imported goods in order to offset the losses in tariffs. As a result, the cost of production will be raised in local manufacturing industries.

The increase of production cost will affect the produc- tivity and the overall output level Hong Kong has long. been export-oriented and it is likely that Hong Kong is going to diversify the foreign markets by the way of exporting products of Fight industries and heavy industries. The imposition of tariff will hinder: local industrial

diversification and

the discouragement of Local exports. will affect the economy of Hong Kong. 3. Although Hong Kong ; is now suffering from world protect- ioníam especially from the restriction of taxtiles exports by European Economic Community, the development of local economy still mainly

depends on foreign trade. If the foreign trading companions take revenge on Hong Kong more tariff would be imposed to Hong Kong exports. This will put Hong Kong into a disadvantage posit- ion when compared. with other trading

competitiors. The imposition of tariff will encourage the excercising force of protectionists. Because of the rise of production cost, an overall rises in rent wages and other cost of production will be caused. It is not easy for those small labour intensive industrial units to operate. They may shut down: because they are unable bear the Losses. Meanwhile unemployment problem would happen-

5. The rise of produc- tion cost will lead to the rise of the prices of domestic products, in this

the case?

general price level of local product will be bid up.

6. As prices of

imported foreign goods increase the prices of local. goods and services will be stimulated. Consequently, and inflation problem. will happen.

7. Local government

revenue will

increase in a short

run.

Describe the factors for

the rise of Japanese militarism in the 1950s

Meaning of militarism 1. the government

controlled by military

meng

2. spread of militaristic ideas in government and society

the government using an aggressive foreign policy

active military

preparedness and buildup at home

Factors for the ri militarísu -

1. Growing anfluence the military --

Because modernization started as defence

against foreign

imperialism, military

c. Before

1868 (the

Meiji Restoration), military men (the samurai) enjoyed a high social and political position Thus militarism had long tradition. Military leaders enjoyed their rights in the government since the Meiji period. These rights included the following:

the

right to direct access to the Emperor This means that military leaders could bypass the civil government and approach the Emperor for approval of a policy.

the regulation that military posts in the cabinet (civil government) must be served by generals and admirals on active duty. This gave the military the power to prevent the formation of a cabinet by not. allowing its members. to serve in the cabinet.

control over

colonial

administration,

Struggle for leadership between military and civil leaders-

From 1868 to 1912,; power was concentrated. in the Meiji Emperor. The Meiji statesmen (like Ito) were both civil and military leaders. From the 1920s on, however, the Emperor could not contrul government

policies effectively,

and most of the Meiji statesmen had died

away. Thus military

men and civil men

struggled for power.

In times of bad international: relations (such as in the 1930s), people felt that military men should run the country so as to protect the national interests more efficiently. 5. Failure of democratic

experimentation -

a

men bad always enjoyed 4 a high social and potical position. From about 1910 to 1945, military men established many "reservist associations" in, Japan. They absorbed many of the Japanese people who were military reserve (i.e. not on. conscription). These associations: influenced many Japanese people.

on

Japan experimented with democratic rule from 1918 to 1931 The period was called the period of party rule. But (i) modernization did not bring about deep-rooted changes to traditional militarism, and democracy was difficult to take root. (ii) conservative and authoritarian forces

made it difficult for democracy to work.

Thus democracy failed in the 1930s.

Social conservatism

Modernization had been limited to the

political and economic Jevels during Meiji times. Institutions. were reformed, but the people's thoughts had not been changed greatly. Social conservatism was still very strong,

The contributions of social conservatism to the rise of militarism were as follows:

many, military men came from the conservative countryside party-rule and vestern-style democracy were limited to city areas only.

International developments making it possible for the rise of militarism Japanese people felt that they were discriminated against by western powers. For example, during the Washington Conference

(1921 = 22), Japan was given an inferior ratio of naval disarmament. Military men made use

of this feeling to arouse patriotic emotion. Party men

were aned as

people

betrayed the country. Popular

support for the military became more and more powerful.

The failure of peaceful economic expansion in the 1920s -

policy, which party governments failed to upheld, protect Japan's interests.

More and more Japanese people thought that only military men could best safeguard Japan's interests.

7. Examples of

dictatorships in

Europe

Such examples were the rise of Fascism: in Italy and of Nazism in Germany. Japanese people thought that they could make their country strong by following such examples.

8. The Great Depression

(1929 - 1930)

a. Because of the

9.

Depression, many Japanese people were unemployed. Prices rose and fell sharply. Many people suffered financially.

People believed that party government would never give them a good livelihood, They felt that Western capitalism and

democracy were a failure. Thus they welcomed militarism.

The threat of

communi am

Soviet Russia was a

communist country too

They welcomed

militarism for defence

against communism.
