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 .

Famous quotes containing the words commonwealth and/or games:
“I’the commonwealth I would by contraries
Execute all things; for no kind of traffic
Would I admit; no name of magistrate;
Letters should not be known; riches, poverty,
And use of service, none; contract, succession,
Bourn, bound of land, tilth, vineyard, none;
No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
No occupation; all men idle, all,
And women too, but innocent and pure.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“At the age of twelve I was finding the world too small: it appeared to me like a dull, trim back garden, in which only trivial games could be played.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
