It has been almost two years since I was forced to resign from the Hong Kong Examinations and Assessment Authority (HKEAA), yet I still regularly keep abreast of its news. In mainland China, the media prefixes “Hong Kong” with the word “China,” mostly occurring after 2019. While this surprised me, I found that HKEAA was not the sole “victim.” The Hong Kong Trade Development Council and Hong Kong Tourism Board, among others, were also given the prefixation in media reports.
