THE Hong Kong government has decided to reclaim the HK$2 million (US$257,659) it donated to a quake-devastated city in southwest China after local authorities pulled down a school built with its aid money.
Stephen Lam, chief secretary of the Administration of Hong Kong, said Mianyang City didn't inform the Hong Kong government before it dismantled the school.
He went to Sichuan Province yesterday for a three-day visit and said Hong Kong will allocate the returned money to other reconstruction projects in Sichuan.
Hong Kong has provided aids to Sichuan for 123 reconstruction projects and the remaining ones would be completed this year, the Xinhua news agency cited Lam as saying.
The Sichuan Provincial Government said it respected Hong Kong's decision and will conduct an investigation into the unauthorized demolition in Mianyang.
But Mianyang authorities blamed Dalian Wanda Commercial Properties Co Ltd for tearing down the Zijing Ethnic Minorities High School to make room for its massive real estate project.
