Staying on: George Cautherley's family arrived before the British ruled Hong Kong. He plans to stay after they leave

Article Abstract:

British-born George Cautherley, who has been a long-time Hong Kong resident, has decided to remain in Hong Kong after the handover to China in 1998. Cautherly considers himself to be a typical Hong Kong resident, an entrepreneur who can adapt to whatever social changes come his way. Cautherley believes himself to be a true Hong Kong person, imbibing the colony's penchant for business flexibility which he believes will not be found in his home country. Cautherley believes the only threat the handover brings to Hong Kong is the potential of the Chinese to muscle in on Hong Kong's financial affairs and to take part of the revenues.

Chinese nationalists wage a battle for their refuge in Hong Kong hills

Article Abstract:

Around 200 former Kuomintang soldiers loyal to the founders of Taiwan or Nationalist China are fighting for their right to remain in a small portion of Hong Kong, located along its eastern hills. The place, known as Rennie's Mill, used to be home to around 30,000 inhabitants. The Hong Kong police has been clearing the place for possible redevelopment. However, residents believe that such a move is a result of pressure from Communist China, which is due to annex the island in a reunification move after 1997.

Hong Kong's identity

Article Abstract:

Hong Kong's identity as a cosmopolitan and commercially-oriented culture comes from its history of remaining on the fringes of empire, which allowed the people to flexibly adopt social and cultural norms that worked to their advantage. This aspect of their culture coupled with the area's history as a trading route only served to magnify the resiliency and tolerance of its people towards the coming of new and different cultures. Hong Kong's strength lies in accommodating and absorbing culture.
