Opinion polling on Hong Kong identity
Opinion polling on Hong Kong identity has been regularly conducted by Hong Kong pollsters on how Hong Kong citizens identify themselves as - mainly as Hongkongers, as Chinese nationals, or both.
HKPORI polling[edit]
The opinion polls in this section were conducted by Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute (HKPORI) and its predecessor Public Opinion Programme, the University of Hong Kong (HKUPOP). The question asked is: "You would identify yourself as 'Hongkonger', 'Hongkonger in China', 'Chinese in Hong Kong' or 'Chinese'?" ("你會稱自己為 香港人/中國人/香港的中國人/中國的香港人")[1]
The "Hongkonger (total)" and "Chinese (total)" in the graph and table below refer to the sum of, respectively, 'Hongkonger' (香港人) and 'Hongkonger in China' (中國的香港人), and 'Chinese' (中國人) and 'Chinese in Hong Kong' (香港的中國人). The "Others" include "Other" (其他) and "don't know"/"hard to say" (唔知/難講).
