Hongkongers

Hongkongers, also known as Hong Kongese and Hong Kong people, are people who originate from Hong Kong. These terms are a special identity for those who hold the legal residency in Hong Kong. Most of the Hongkongers were born and bred, or at least bred in Hong Kong sharing the same set of core values, including freedom, human rights and democracy, of Hong Kong. The terms itself have no legal definition by the Hong Kong Government; more precise terms such as Hong Kong Permanent Resident and Hong Kong Resident are used in legal contexts. However, the word "Hongkonger" was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary in March 2014.
