Hong Kong–UK Reunification Campaign

For the restoration of British Hong Kong after WWII, see Liberation of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong–UK Reunification Campaign (Yue Chinese: 香港歸英運動) is a campaign for Hong Kong to end its status as a special administrative region under the People's Republic of China, then rejoin the UK and become part of the British Overseas Territories. Supporters argue that Chinese interference in Hong Kong's affairs has violated the Sino-British Joint Declaration, and therefore the UK has the right to nullify the declaration and restore British Hong Kong. Supporters generally reference other British territories, such as Gibraltar, Falkland Islands, and Bermuda as models for Hong Kong, and believe that this arrangement would allow the city to exercise autonomy through a democratic government and elected parliament. This will also allow the local population an opportunity to decide the city's future, such as becoming a member of the British Commonwealth.
