The Hong Kong Politics Database is created for those who might be less familiar with Hong Kong, but are interested in further understanding local politics. As a lot of important materials are only available in Chinese, the current database aims to provide a systematic way to overview major events in Hong Kong after 1997 with English/translated Chinese articles.
