Hong Kong Alliance of Chinese and Expatriates

The Hong Kong Alliance of Chinese and Expatriates (Chinese:香港中外聯盟) was a small political party in Hong Kong set up in 1994.

The party aimed at upholding the Hong Kong residents holding foreign passports. It took a conservative and pro-Beijing stance as its Chairman Guy Lam Kwok-hung, who was a Canadian citizen,[1] said Hong Kong should not be hostile towards Beijing as it was reverting to Mainland China. Kwok-hung also said it was fortunate the Tiananmen Square protests occurred before the huge changes in Eastern Europe as Hong Kong needs a stable China.[2]

Guy Lam campaigned for a seat in the Legislative Council in the 1995 elections,[3] but lost to Democratic Party's Huang Chen-ya in Island West constituency.

The party ceased to exist in 2007.[4]
