Hong Kong At The Commonwealth Games
Hong Kong competed at the Commonwealth Games (as well as British Empire & Commonwealth Games and British Commonwealth Games) as a British colony or dependent territory in 1934, then from 1954 until 1962 and from 1970 to 1994. The abbreviation for Hong Kong was HKG. In 1997 the United Kingdom handed Hong Kong over to the People's Republic of China, and as a result Hong Kong can no longer participate .
