Celine Tsoi is a fourth-year majoring in Psychology and Political Science with a minor in Musicology completing an honors thesis in Political Science. Born and raised in Hong Kong, her proposed project examines the relationship between Big Businesses in Hong Kong and Beijing, and how this relationship manifests itself through the composition and roll call voting results of functional representatives in the Hong Kong Legislative Council, in which businesses have a say in legislative processes. She argues that since 2014, the relationship between Hong Kong big businesses and Beijing have been on the decline compared to the 1980s. As the voting behavior of functional representatives should correlate to the relationship status between business and Beijing, the voting behavior of these representatives should be less Beijing-friendly than in the 1990s, when the first Legislative Council was formed. Furthermore, as the cracks started to appear during the aftermath of the 2014 Umbrella Movement, the voting behavior of functional representatives should start deviating from Beijing-friendly choices after 2014. Through this study, Celine seeks the shed light on how allowing big businesses too much political power – even under an autocratic regime – can have devastating implications. Further conclusions can be drawn about the feasibility of One Country, Two Systems under this regime. Following graduation, Celine seeks to pursue a doctorate in Psychology.
