Britons in Hong Kong
Britons
never made up more than a small portion of the population in
Hong Kong
, despite Hong Kong having been under
British
rule for more than 150 years. However, they did leave their mark on Hong Kong's institutions,
culture
and
architecture
. The British population in Hong Kong today consists mainly of career
expatriates
working in
banking
, education,
real estate
,
law
and
consultancy
, as well as a large number of
British-born ethnic Chinese
, former Chinese
émigrés
to the U.K., and Hong Kongers (mostly ethnic Chinese) who
successfully applied for full British citizenship
before
the transfer of sovereignty
in 1997.
