In the following part, I will analyze the immigration waves and emigration since 1950 by using the push and pull factor theory.
From the graph we can see there are three peak periods from 1950 to 2010.
We will divide it into 2 major immigration waves for analysis. In fact, from 1950 to 1980, there is an increasing trend of illegal immigrants. Only because the 67 riot, there was an exceptional depression in 1967. So we combine the two peaks as 1st migration period. The 2nd immigration period is around 1996-2000.
1st immigration wave from 1950- 1980 is caused by the political change in mainland China. After the Chinese communist victory in 1949, a huge flood of refugees poured into Hong Kong. About 1.3 million Chinese entered the territory between 1945 and 1949, doubling the size of the Hong Kong population within a few years. In reaction to the influx, the Hong Kong government closed the border and imposed immigration control on the Chinese in the early 1950s. But this did not stop the inflow of Chinese immigrants. For three decades after 1949, the Hong Kong government enacted the so-called reach base policy, that is, if the Chinese illegal immigrants were not caught at the border and managed to reach town, they were permitted to stay. There are 4 large scale immigrations in 1957, 1962, 1972 and 1979. It is estimated that
At that time, there are more male than female. Majority are from Guangdong province. Young people who want to improve living quality. Capitalists, businessmen from Shanghai with money and technology. Opponents of Communist Party.
Member of KMD, Capitalist and land owner are regarded as opponent of communist party. Afraid the communist party move
Lack of political freedom because of the communist party is dominated.
Economically, the communist party aim to build a fair society so they redistribute the land and property from rich to poor. Because the rich people afraid the confiscation of property they move to Hong Kong.
