Hongkongers (Chinese: 香港人; Jyutping: Hoeng1gong2 jan4), Hong Kongers, Hong Kong citizens and Hong Kong people are demonyms that refer to a resident of Hong Kong, although they may also refer to others who were born and/or raised in the territory.
Chow Wing Kan(Ken) (born 26 October 1966), was a member of the Hong Kong Progressive Alliance and the Liberal Party, and is a political figure of the Hong Kong Pro-Beijing camp. He has worked in the district of Tin Shui Wai, Yuen Long District for many years. He served as a member of the Yuen Long District Council from October 1994, being re-elected five times until he failed in 2019, amid a sweeping Pan-democrat victory.
Chow Wing Kan and Chow Liang Shuk-yee jointly formed the list to represent the Liberal Party in the 2008 Hong Kong Legislative Council election in the New Territories West Constituency, but both failed. In the 2016 Hong Kong Legislative Council election, he once again competed for the New Territories West seat on a one-person list, but withdrew from all election activities after he reported receiving threats from persons in China, in an incident that was widely reported.

The London portal has a box at the bottom for London-related topics that integrates the London topics template, so I thought I'd do the same thing for this portal. And no, the dual presence of "categories" and "topics" is not redundant because links in the categories box lead you to categories indexes, whilst links in the topics box lead you to actual articles addressing these topics (easier to find general information that way). --Lapin rossignol03:46, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is this portal being actively maintained? If not, I'm going to start fixing it to be consistent with the other China-related portals. Ideogram12:05, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, isn't red/white a good theme for the HK portal? The new flag uses this color so it should be okay.—Nrtm8102:09, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Color scheme
Let's wait for other people to give their opinions on the color scheme.
Please indicate below if you would like the color of this portal to be the current red, or the previous blue, or another color (indicate which). Ideogram18:18, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi all, I've planned a new colour scheme for the HK portal and would like some feedback. Are the colours too garish? Does the bauhinia need to be smaller? Does it need more space to be viewed? Don't like the red? Want a blue version? Take a look at User:Joowwww/Sandbox2 and tell me what you think. Regards --Joowwww (talk) 18:01, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The image used in the Queen's College, Hong Kong article's infobox, specifically Image:100 0221.JPG, has a little bit of a licensing issue. The image was uploaded back in 2005 when the rules around image uploading was less restrictive. It is presumed that the uploaded was willing to license the picture under the GFDL license but was not clear in that regard. As such, the image, while not at risk of deletion, is likely not clearly licensed to allow for free use in any future use of this article. If anyone has an image that can replace this, or can go take one and upload it, it would be best.
"It is a place of contrasts - frenetically urban adjacent to pristine greenery; extremely rich next to dirt poor; Western culture and Chinese culture."
I like this sentence a lot. Really says a lot about Hong Kong. However, I am thinking if the following would be better:
"It is a place of contrasts - frenetically urban areas adjacent to pristine greenery; the extremely rich next to the dirt poor; modern, Western culture in a traditionally Chinese culture."
I still feel my revised sentence can use some editing.--Ohnobananas (talk) 22:52, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
New featured image
I don't even know how long there's not been one, but the red link was most distracting so I scoured commons for a new image and put the best I found in place. New Year next month so an image to celebrate it would be nice, in the next ten days or so if anyone knows of one.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds23:12, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I just wanted to make a note because I deleted an entire 2-paragraph segment from the Hong Kong U. page -- which is a significant edit -- and I couldn't really explain it in that one line.
The section called "Relationship between HKU and Hong Kong Government" was based on personal bias, opinion and speculation, with no textual backup. It made a serious insinuation -- that there is some favoritism or unfairness in the link between HKU and the government. That's a big accusation -- we can't say it if we don't back it up with sources.
The deleted section refered to HKU sarcastically as a "ruling party." It then says that its students are given priority for jobs.
It is factually true that many government officials are from HKU -- but that's probably because for many decades, HKU was the only main university in town, and many officials are very old.
And if HKU grads get good jobs, it may be because it's a top university.
If someone simply wants to point to the number of HKU grads in government, that's fine. But, for now, I think it's best to keep this section out. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pumpkin888 (talk • contribs) 17:18, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I can't see anything wrong with your change, but normally the best thing to do in such a case, whether or not you do the edit first, is first note it on the article talk page if there's more to the change than can be described in the edit summary. This makes it easier to find than on one of the (in this case three) talk pages of the related projects.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds17:44, 16 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
