The neutrality of this article is disputed. Please see its talk page .

The Indigenous Communists in Hong Kong are mainly remnants of the trade unionists who flourished in the 1960s and united front officials operated by the Communist Party of China in Hong Kong. They were once considered progressives; but as the consensus of Hong Kong politics moved, they appear to be ideologically conservative compared to the mainstream of Hong Kong. During the administration of Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten, the indigenous Communists suffered from his electoral reforms.

1 Ideology

Economically, most of the indigenous Communists insist on the 'birdcage economy' advocated by Chen Yun, which is a version of nationalized economy. Politically, they are Maoists influenced by Hua GuofengHua Guofeng ( Hanyu Pinyin: Hua Guofeng, Wade-Giles: Hua Kuo-feng; born 1921), to the surprise and dismay of Jiang Qing and the rest of the Gang of Four, became the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party and undisputed leader of the People's Republic of: They think that the Communist Party is the measure of all things; friends of the Party are worthy of support; enemies of the Party should be opposed at all costs. This hard-line thinking led to the occasional vandalism of Democratic PartyDemocratic Party is a pro- democracy and liberal political party in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It was established on October 2, 1994. The party is currently headed by Chairman Yeung Sum, and has 568 ordi political bulletin boards by the indigenous Communists.

2 Stereotypes of the supporters

There are several stereotypes of indigenous Communist supporters.

The 'Victoria Park uncles': Though the ' uncles of Victoria ParkUncles of Victoria Park (, or simply ) is a general term reffering to a special group of people in Hong Kong. These people are usually retired pro-Beijing old men, who used to gather in Victoria Park. A city forum, sponsored and broadcasted to public by R' may not be trade union members, but they support the ideology of the indigenous Communists. A stereotypical image is the 'uncles' waving flags in support of the Communists during hustings in Victoria ParkVictoria Park is a public park in Hong Kong, named after Queen Victoria.

United front officials: Another stereotype of indigenous Communist supporters are united front officials sent by the Communist Party of China to work in Hong Kong trade unions, or indigenous Hongkongers trained thereby.

'Patriotic' entrepreneurs: It is alleged that some businesspersons support indigenous Communists; further, that some of these supporters have been drug dealers or Triad members. Some of these accusations gave the motivation that after the handover of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China in 1997, supporting the Communists would give their businesses an advantage, furthering them into oligopoly. Opponents of this kind of association attribute the scandals in the media in Hong Kong to the closer ties between the businesses and the Communists (of all shades).
