Hong Kong Autonomy Movement (Chinese: 香港自治運動), sometimes known as the Hong Kong City State Autonomous Movement (Chinese: 香港城邦自治運動), is a movement formed in Hong Kong amidst the raising awareness about Hong Kong's constitutional rights of high autonomy, free from interference of PRC government, as stipulated in Hong Kong Basic Law Article 2 and Article 22.
The Movement runs on the basis of the book 香港城邦論 (roughly translated: "Hong Kong City-State Theory") by Hong Kong scholar Chin Wan, in which Chin argues that Hong Kong possesses the characteristics of a city-state.
The Movement advocates that, under the principles of the Hong Kong Basic Law and one country, two systems, Hong Kong may enjoy the right to autonomy, subject to it not advocating or suggesting an independent Hong Kong.[citation needed] Chin Wan is the movement's advocate and consultant. Allied scholars and cultured individuals include former Wan Chai District Council members Kam Pui-wai, Ada Ying-kay Wong; Hong Ko-fung, Chip Tsao, Chau Siu-cheung, and others.
