The New Hong Kong Alliance (Chinese: 新香港聯盟, abbreviated 新港盟; NHKA) was a pro-Beijing conservative political organisation in Hong Kong in the 1990s mostly composed of businessmen and professionals. It was considered the more conservative wing of the Group of 89 formed by established elites in the debate of drafting the Hong Kong Basic Law and democratisation. It proposed the ultra-conservative Bicameral Model for the future political structure. The alliance's key person was secretary Lo Tak-shing who had an eye on the Chief Executive post after 1997, the alliance became less active as Lo's chance of contesting the post got slimmer and it ceased to exist in 1999.

The Hong Kong Progressive Alliance (Chinese: 香港協進聯盟, abbreviated 港進聯; HKPA) was a pro-Beijing pro-business political party in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It was established in 1994 and was merged into the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB) in 2005. The DAB then renamed as Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong.

The Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong (DAB) is a pro-Beijing conservative political party established in 1992 in Hong Kong. Chaired by Starry Lee, it is currently the largest party in the Legislative Council.

The DAB was founded in 1992 by 56 Beijing-loyalists from traditional leftist background, who had a long-history of following the policies of the Communist Party of China, the ruling party in the People's Republic of China. The DAB gradually expanded in the immediate years after the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong and became one of three major parties alongside the pro-democratic Democratic Party and the pro-business Liberal Party.



The Democratic Alliance, formerly called Yuen Long Tin Shui Wai Democratic Alliance, is a small pro-democracy pro-Taiwan political group in Hong Kong. The current chairman of the alliance is Johnny Mak Ip-sing, who is also a member of Yuen Long District Council.

"Hong Kong’s financial hub is at a crossroads"

mar23 Beijing is changing Hong Kong's   political norms ,   raising new concerns about the institutions underlying the city's previous prosperity and potentially putting its status as a global financial hub at risk, according to a new  report . The big picture:   The business community should begin a collective lobbying campaign to convey their concerns directly to Hong Kong authorities, the report recommends, because legal and bureaucratic recourse is now less likely to help the business community protect their interests in the city. https://www.axios.com/2023/03/07/hong-kong-global-financial-status-risk .16/1/23 https://www-ft-com.ezp.lib.cam.ac.uk/content/77b7e834-8780-4be0-9e8a-ad9961b7be5f Can Asia’s key capital market maintain its international outlook?  PATRICK JENKINs Look for a senior job in Hong Kong these days on LinkedIn and you’re unlikely to find any openings unless you’re a speaker of Cantonese or Mandarin, or both. “That’s a big change,” confid...

 dez21 KPMG is one of several big businesses in Hong Kong encouraging staff to vote in what the government is billing as a “patriots-only” election for the city’s legislature, as authorities worry about low turnout in the poll.

resumo do que tem acontecido

jun23 The Hong Kong government, meanwhile, has recently been talking about ‘one country’ in terms of root and branch development. ‘Only with a deep root can leaves thrive’ goes the official slogan. That might be true, but biology also teaches us that it is the leaves that, through photosynthesis, produce the nutrients for the plant to grow. Will Beijing be willing to give Hong Kong the space to grow? Recent experience provides many reasons to be wary.
