These primary documents provide insights into the history of Hong Kong during the 1920s, including the strike of 1925-1926.
The Hongkong News Online (1941-1945)
Published during the Japanese occupation of Hong Kong, The Hongkong News was printed on the abandoned presses of the South China Morning Post. It provides Japan’s unvarnished perspective on East Asian and world news, and will be of great interest to scholars of the period.
