Hong Kongers
Pearl River Delta denizens
Hong Kongers are residents or natives of Hong Kong, the autonomous territory on China's southern coast.
The term gained prominence during the 2019 pro-democracy protests, often carrying connotations of distinct cultural and political identity separate from mainland China: Hong Kongers took to the streets to defend their freedoms.
Also spelled Hongkongers.
