Non-chinese right of abode?

What is the right of abode of people that are not chinese citizens? Do all those Brits and ex-pat Aussie and Americans have any rights, some were even born there. What about guest workers who've been in HK for a decade or longer? SchmuckyTheCat 22:43, 8 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lots of key issue missing

The background of the issue is missing:

  1. In 1980s Hongkong gave up Touch Base Policy
  2. "Right of abode" defined in Joint Declaration, Appendix 1
  3. The cause/flaw in Joint Declaration, Appendix 1
  4. The flaw in Basic Law provision as following the Appendix 1
  5. The neglect of both Chinese and British government before handover

The basic issue is missing:

  1. Legitimate Expectation from the HK right of abode claimant based on Basic Law
  2. The incompatibility between Basic Law and local Ordinance
  3. The massive arrest by Immigration Department

The judgment of Court of Final Appeal is not the cause of "Right of abode issue". It is the process. When talking the cause, it should be start from the handover, or the neglect of both government, or even the Joint Declaration itself. It is POV to blame the Court of Final Appeal at the very start of description the cause of the issue. --Csmth (talk) 17:49, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Protests

I removed the protests section as it was, due to it being completely unreferenced, having been tagged so since July 08. If anyone can find any references, especially for the bridge-blocking and fire incidents, then do feel free to addthemback with citations. - Chrism would like to hear from you 20:44, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good job; I was going to 'do the dirty' there my self, but lacked the guts to do it.

The article is too specific

It seems that the article currently focuses on one specific issue on the right of abode in Hong Kong: the debate concerning the Article 24(2)(3) of the Hong Kong Basic Law. IMO, the article should talk and explain more generally on the right of abode in Hong Kong, which dates back to the British period. --Joshua Say "hi" to me!What I've done? 05:01, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
