Hong Kong nationalism

Hong Kong nationalism (Chinese: 香港民族主義 or 香港主義) is a system of thought that spans the folklore, culture, history, geography, society, and politics of Hong Kong. It reflects a strong desire to protect democracy in Hong Kong, to oppose mainlandization, and to preserve local Hong Kong identity. As such, many Hong Kong nationalists are opposed to Chinese state nationalism (中國國家主義).

Hong Kong nationalism is generally considered a new phenomenon. The self-identification of the Hong Kong people became considered as nationalism when local discourse developed claims of self-determination, autonomy and varying degrees of separation from China.
