	EH.Net Encyclopedia: Economic History of Hong Kong
		Hong Kong’s economic and political history has been primarily determined by its geographical location. The territory of Hong Kong is comprised of two main islands (Hong Kong Island and Lantau Island) and a mainland hinterland.
		Hong Kong was profoundly affected by the disastrous events in Mainland China in the inter-war period.
		The economic development of Hong Kong is unusual in a variety of respects. First, industrialization was accompanied by increasing numbers of small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) rather than consolidation. In 1955, 91 percent of manufacturing establishments employed fewer than one hundred workers, a proportion that increased to 96.5 percent by 1975.

	Hong Kong Time - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hong Kong Time (abbreviation: HKT ; Chinese: 香港時間) is the time in Hong Kong.
		Greenwich Mean Time was adopted as the basis in 1904, and UTC was adopted as a standard in 1972.
		Before that, local time was determined by astronomical observations at the Hong Kong Observatory using a 6-inch Lee Equatorial and a 3-inch Transit Circle.

		Settlement in the territory grew slowly with the population rose from 32,983 in 1851 to 878,947 in 1931.
		During the teens and twenties of this century, Hong Kong served as a refuge for exiles from China following the establishment of the Chinese Republic in 1912.
		Hong Kong's economic life began to slow after the United Nations' embargo on trade with China in the 1950s.

	History of Hong Kong Time Service
		The Hong Kong Observatory is an official timekeeper in Hong Kong.
		With the introduction and wider use of time signals on radio broadcast, the time ball was dismantled on 30 June 1933.
		A timing system based on a Caesium beam atomic clock was first acquired in 1980 and a replacement clock was installed in 1994.

	Hong Kong Political Parties Face a Big Question: Their Future
		While half of Hong Kong's people remain worried about their personal freedom after July 1, according to a recent poll conducted even before the new rules were announced, sentiment toward China has shifted as well, with a mix of enthusiasm and resignation to Chinese sovereignty beginning to reshape attitudes.
		But with Britain's agreement in 1984 to return Hong Kong to China, followed by waves of repression in China culminating in the mass killing of protesters in Beijing in 1989, many people here who were determined to have some say in their future began organizing pressure groups and political parties.
		But by 1995, when for the first time Hong Kong's legislature was to be wholly elected in a combination of direct and indirect voting, the Democratic Party had come into its own and, together with its allies, commanded 29 of 60 seats outright.

	The Battle for Hong Kong- -TIME-Asia \| The Agonist
		Hong Kong's Old Guard leftists and tycoons, who spent the spring fulminating about the territory's questionable patriotism and telling locals they should stick to commerce and stop talking politics, have been conspicuously silent of late.
		Hong Kong is supposed to be run by its own residents with "a high degree of autonomy," and that's how it worked in the years following the 1997 handover to China.
		Szeto, 73, is one of Beijing's least-favorite Hong Kong figures, and no wonder: his Alliance in Support of the Patriotic Democratic Movement in China demands the end of one-party rule in the country and organizes the annual memorial in Hong Kong for the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre.
