Paper Summary:
This paper stresses Hong Kong's uniqueness as it is not quite a British or Chinese locality. The paper discusses how among its distinctive features, has been the pattern of human transit from the 1840s to the present, in waves of immigration and emigration. At the same time, Hong Kong appears to bestow a strong identity. The 1997 hand over prompted especially high emigration to Canada after the late 1980s, where a third phenomenon is found in persons seeking to return to Hong Kong.From the Paper:
"Through the 1990s, East Asia awaited the momentous hand over of the British crown colony of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China (PRC). Mass media reports stressed the emigration of thousands from Hong Kong in persons said to fear Communist oppression. Other reportage referred to Hong Kong activists trying to ensure that the colony would retain freedoms known under British authority. Less expected, after the British departure was migration to Hong Kong on the part of Mainland Chinese and persons of diverse other origin in Asia and beyond."More papers on The Uniqueness of Hong Kong:
