| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Since Hong Kong's reunification with the People's Republic of China in 1997, debates about patriotism have erupted from time to time in Hong Kong. Considering Hong Kong's socio-political background, the feelings and attachment of Hongkongers towards their motherland are unsurprisingly complex. We therefore need a multidimensional concept to capture the complexities of Hong Kong patriotism. Based on survey data, we propose that the term 'liberal patriotism' best describes the type of patriotism in Hong Kong society, which is that love of the homeland and the state are qualified by liberal democratic values. |
