hong kong
after the end of world war ⅱ and the communist takeover of mainland china in 1949, hundreds of thousands of people emigrated from china to hong kong.some of the new immigrants brought with them skills and capital, while others became a vast pool of cheap labour.at the same time, many foreign firms moved their offices from shanghai to hong kong. this helped hong kong achieve its first economic success and become a major manufacturing centre.
however, despite the economic success, many employers did not treat their employees well.the ideal of communism impressed many young hongkongers in the 1960s.in may, 1967, a labour movement under the influence of the cultural revolution in china became violent.riots followed in the next six months.a famous radio host, lam bun (林彬), who openly criticised the movement, was murdered.leftists agitators in hong kong resorted to terrorist attacks by planting real and fake bombs around the city.after the hong kong government brought down the labour movement, the communists’ web in hong kong was broken and the hongkongers’ view of the communists became negative.(refer to hong kong 1967 riots)
