I have just modified one external link on 1950s in Hong Kong. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20070306085454/http://www.td.gov.hk:80/publications_and_press_releases/publications/free_publications/the_annual_traffic_census_2005/index.htm to http://www.td.gov.hk/publications_and_press_releases/publications/free_publications/the_annual_traffic_census_2005/index.htm

Criminals

The present text includes this passage: "As many as 100,000 people fled to Hong Kong each month under the new regime, many of whom were rich farmers and capitalists who brought with them management experience, though even more were criminals who established the influential triad society in Hong Kong." Is this meant to imply that the majority of migrants to Hong Kong were criminals? The passage says that 'many' were rich farmers and capitalists, while 'even more' were criminals. This seems at least to imply that a substantial proportion were criminals. I find this difficult to believe. There were over a million migrants in total, so even 1% would be over 10,000! No source is given for the statements in the text, so I suggest that either a source should be provided or the passage should be deleted.2A00:23C8:7907:4B01:A904:BD9B:671D:C02F (talk) 12:49, 21 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
