Hong Kong Alliance of Chinese and Expatriates

The Hong Kong Alliance of Chinese and Expatriates (Chinese:香港中外聯盟) was a small political party in Hong Kong set up in 1994.

The party aimed at upholding the Hong Kong residents holding foreign passports. It took a conservative and pro-Beijing stance as its Chairman Guy Lam Kwok-hung, who was a Canadian citizen,[1] said Hong Kong should not be hostile towards Beijing as it was reverting to Mainland China. Guy Lam also said he supported Beijing's decision to suppress the students in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.[2]

Guy Lam campaigned for a seat in the Legislative Council in the 1995 elections,[3] but lost to Democratic Party's Huang Chen-ya in Island West constituency.

The party ceased to exist in 2007.[4]
