Hong Kong – China solidarity: reflections on the past 10 years of supporting worker advocacy in China

Over the past decade, Hong Kong labour NGOs have been playing an active and vital role in supporting and strengthening the labour activism in China. They have done this by engaging in direct organizing, campaigning and advocacy for the rights of migrant workers and by regulating the violations of the foreign investors, particularly those Asian exporting capitals from Hong Kong and Taiwan. As fellow Chinese across the border, we exercise our special position to empower Chinese workers through solidarity and concerted actions with them in their struggle for justice and dignity. It is also a struggle of workers in search of a new set of social values and attitudes, and new economic and political structures in China, which have a bearing not only on the country and on Hong Kong, but also on the whole world as the interplay between the west and the east intensifies.
