Christine Loh is well known for her  wide-ranging intellect and ability to find  practical solutions to problems. Her  background in law, business, politics,  media and the non-profit sector has  given her considerable knowledge and insight about  how they work and has helped her to become a  leading voice in public policy in Hong Kong. She has  won many awards.  Loh is a prolific author for both academic as well  as popular publications. She has written and edited  books on Hong Kong politics, democratic practices,  and SARS. She is also an experienced facilitator of  large and small gatherings on public policy issues,  and a sought after presenter and speaker at local  and international political, business as well as nonprofit gatherings on a variety of subjects ranging  from international relations to corporate social  responsibility to China to environmental protection.  Loh spent 14 years in the commercial world before  becoming a member of the Hong Kong Legislative  Council. She chose to retire from front-line politics  in 2000 to set-up the non-profit public policy think  tank, Civic Exchange, and is its current CEO. Her  legislative successes were many, the most high profile  being amending the law to enable the indigenous  women of the New Territories to inherit rural land,  restructuring the controversial section 30 of the  Prevention of Bribery Ordinance, and sponsoring the  historic Protection of the Harbour Ordinance.
