There appears to have been some misunderstanding regarding the term Naturalised British subject and several Chinese, Eurasians and Local Portuguese scem to have entered themselves as Naturalised British subjects when they probably could have claimed, by reason of local birth, to be natural born British subjects. It is safest then to class the one with the other.
}
Chinese numbering 270,478 were born in Hong Kong or the New Territories, being 32.93% of the total Chinese living in the Colony; only 61,604 persons of Chinese race or 7.5% claimed to be British subjects. The inhabitants of the New Territories seem to be most closely attached to the British Crown as 35.4% of the Chinese resident there claim British nationality; 17.2% of those living afloat, a body of people who have since the earliest days of the Colony, always followed the fortunes of the "foreigner", similarly claimed British nationality; but only 2.3% of those living ashore in Hong Kong and Kowloon entered themselves as British subjects.
The proportion of those who were born in the Colony who subsequently claim to be British subjects is as follows:
