Possible Threats to Internal Security
in Hong Kong
Each year we
review the possible threat to internal
security in Hong Kong. In this paper we take a fresh look at
the threat in the light of developments since the last review in
September 1991.

Threats from external sources, other than China and
Taiwan, including all forms of armed aggression and international terrorism, fall outside the scope of this paper.

(d)
Historically unrest in Hong Kong has been:
politically inspired by supporters of the Chinese
Communist Party (CCP), as in 1967, or the Kuomintang,
as in 1956;
exploited by Triad Societies as, for example, in 1956
and in the taxi riots of 1984;
a demonstration of public
dissatisfaction with an
aspect
of social or political change, such as provoked
the "Star Ferry" riots in 1966; or
the result of an escalation of emotions arising from
some small incident at a large public gathering such
as a football match or a major festival.
