Public Opinion Research Project for Domestic and Overseas Hongkongers

Our Team

The "Public Opinion Research Project for Domestic and Overseas Hongkongers" is composed primarily of Hong Kongers who have emigrated abroad in recent years. The project is led by Dr. Chung Kim-wah, who has extensive experience in university education and academic research in Hong Kong. During his tenure at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Dr. Chung participated in or directed over 300 surveys and opinion research projects of various scales. After retiring from PolyU, he also served as Deputy CEO of the Hong Kong Public Opinion Research Institute for two years.

Although the team members have moved overseas for various reasons, they remain deeply concerned about Hong Kong affairs. We recognize that many Hong Kongers abroad, while rebuilding their lives and embracing new national identities, still maintain a strong emotional connection to Hong Kong. They identify as Hong Kongers, care about Hong Kong's situation, and wish to voice their opinions on various issues. They remain stakeholders in Hong Kong's affairs.

Given the increasing difficulty for Hong Kongers to express their opinions on many matters and the suspension of some long-standing public opinion research projects in Hong Kong, we initiated this project.

To ensure the continued presence of the voices from Hong Kong's civil society, to allow Hong Kongers' views to be heard, and to provide perspectives on public and social issues, we have established the "Public Opinion Research Project for Domestic and Overseas Hongkongers."

We firmly believe that the identity of being "Hong Kongers" has transcended geographical boundaries. In the current political climate, this identity must extend beyond the physical confines of Hong Kong. Exploring Hong Kongers' opinions on various issues must encompass a more comprehensive scope, including those who have dispersed overseas.

In the coming months, we will conduct approximately ten public opinion surveys, inviting Hong Kongers both at home and abroad to share their perspectives and ensure their voices are heard loud and clear.

We hope for your support. Please register to join our "Opinion Panel". We pledge to safeguard participants' personal information, which will be securely stored overseas to prevent any unauthorized disclosure. All personal data, such as email addresses, will be handled with the utmost confidentiality. Once a survey is completed, personal information will be immediately separated from the research data.

We trust in your support and commitment to speak out for Hong Kong. Let's continue to amplify the voices of Hong Kongers together.
