Hong Kong people in Shanghai form a rapidly growing population. As late as October 2003, there were only 3,432 Hong Kong residents working in Shanghai, according to Shanghai municipal government statistics; however, by December of the following year, that number roughly doubled to 6,680. [1]
60.2% work in the general services sector, 13.9% in manufacturing, 5% in real estate, 5.1% in finance and insurance, and 12.3% in other industries. [1] [2] Most work in managerial positions; they were either hired in Hong Kong and sent to Shanghai afterwards by Hong Kong or foreign firms, or established their own companies in Shanghai. However, the growth in their population is limited by competition from increasingly well-educated local employees, who demand much lower salaries. [3]
With the rise in value of the renminbi, an increasing number of Hong Kong residents working in Shanghai who had previously been paid in foreign currencies such as United States dollars have begun to prefer receiving their salary in local currency instead. [4] To control capital inflow, Hong Kong residents living in Shanghai, in common with residents from Macau and Taiwan, are limited to purchasing one house or apartment per Home Return Permit-holder (the so-called "one permit, one house" scheme), but the Shanghai municipal government suggested it may relax this restriction to three houses or apartments per permit-holder. [5]
Associations representing the population include the Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai, established in 1996; as of 2007, it had roughly 700 members. [6] [7]

Cantonese nationalism refers to the movements for independence of Guangdong from the People's Republic of China. These movements wanted to establish an independent and autonomous political entity. In modern China, this idea has been put forward by others including Kang Youwei's followers and Ou Jiajia. Kang Youwei's followers later opposed the claim. In his book "New Guangdong", Ou Shi put forward the idea of establishing "Guangdong of Guangdong". In 1911, there was a revolution. At the end of October 1911, members of the Guangdong Alliance Chen Jiongming, Deng Jun and Peng Ruihai organized civil army uprisings throughout Guangdong. On November 9, Chen Jiongming led his troops to restore Huizhou. On the same day, Guangdong announced independence and established the Guangdong Military Government of the Republic of China. On January 1, 1912, the Republic of China was established, and Guangdong Province became a province in the Republic of China. In the early years of the Republic of China Guangdong Province drafted the "Guangdong Provincial Draft". This is inspired by the idea of autonomous provinces. The draft passed by the Guangdong Provincial Assembly on December 19, 1921. However, this proposal for the future planning of Guangdong Province did not receive sufficient support, and it was aborted as the Soviet forces intervened in the Far East and the KMT and the Communist Party went northward.
