Shanghainese people in Hong Kong have played an important role in Hong Kong since 1949. Following the Communist rule in China, many Chinese businessmen from Shanghai fled to Hong Kong. Some brought their business to Hong Kong and helped shaped the business power of the territory. A few prominent business people and actors are from Shanghai. Former Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Tung Chee Wah hails from Shanghai.
