Hong Kong has been rated as the freest economy in the world by the Heritage Foundation for 24 consecutive years, and now it has been completely degraded to become just another ordinary city within mainland China. However, Mr. Ching Cheong, a senior journalist in Hong Kong, said that Hong Kong has long been infiltrated by China’s Communist Party (CCP) and riddled with gaping wounds for a long time.

CCP’s History in Hong Kong Can Be Traced Back to 1921

In 1921, the CCP was established in the French Concession in Shanghai and later established its presence in British Hong Kong in August of the same year.

The CCP has never stopped its activities in Hong Kong for more than a century. Mr. Ching said at least 400,000 party members were involved in clandestine operations within Hong Kong by 2012.
