Australians in Hong Kong
There are over 100,000 Australians in Hong Kong, with most being ethnic Chinese Australians or Hong Kong Australians. Many Hong Kong Australians, regardless of ethnic or national background, hold dual status of Australian citizenship and Hong Kong permanent residency — of which such Hong Kong permanent residents may or may not concurrently be nationals of the PRC. Australian business people are based in the territory, which is an important financial centre and is also seen as a gateway to the China market.
