Indigenous Communists in Hong Kong

The Indigenous Communists in Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港本土共產勢力; pinyin: Xiānggǎng béntǔ Gòngchǎn shìlì ; or 土共 (tǔ gòng) in short; or 香港親共團體) are mainly remnants of the trade unionists who flourished in the 1960s and united front officials operated by the Communist Party of China in Hong Kong.

They were once considered progressives and leftists; but as the consensus of Hong Kong politics moved, they appear to be ideologically conservative compared to the mainstream of Hong Kong. During the administration of Hong Kong Governor Chris Patten, the indigenous pro-communist parties suffered from his electoral reforms in 1995. After the Transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong on 1 July 1997, the new HKSAR government changed the electoral system to Party-list proportional representation, in order to make the pro-communist parties to have safe seats in the geographical constituency, and prevent the Pan-democracy camp to have a Supermajority in the geographical constituency.

Economically, most of the indigenous Communists insist on the 'birdcage economy' advocated by Chen Yun, which is a version of nationalized economy.
