It was arranged by an 87-member committee chaired by Shi Taifeng, top vice-chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and a member of the Communist Party Politburo. The state funeral was only the third time a Hongkonger received such an honour since the 1997 handover. China’s Three-North Shelterbelt Programme, otherwise known as the Great Green Wall, has significantly slowed the spread of the desert in the past decade. In 1998, China’s desertification zone totalled some 3.62 million sq km (1.4 million square miles), or a little over a quarter of China’s total land mass. Forests planted under the programme now span 500,000 sq km (193,050 square miles), increasing the area’s forest cover from around 5 per cent in 1978 to 14 per cent in 2022. Although the progress is promising, scientists warn the fight against desertification is far from over. They caution that preserving the gains will require decades of continued effort. A private vigil was held for Hong Kong’s first chief executive Tung Chee-hwa on Saturday at the Hong Kong Funeral Home in North Point, attended by high-profile figures including current Chief Executive John Lee as well as former leaders Leung Chun-ying, Donald Tsang and Carrie Lam. Residents mourned Tung by signing public condolence books at several points across the city. The vigil took place one day before Tung’s state funeral, which is Hong Kong’s third since its 1997 handover from British rule back to China.
