The Hong Kong Section at the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley was the only comprehensive showcase of Hong Kong in Britain during the colonial era. Two major general strikes, both of which involved major political parties from China, took place in Hong Kong before and during the exhibition.
The organisational process, design of the pavilion, choice of exhibits, and responses at the time, both in Britain and Hong Kong, illustrate Britain’s relationship with her colonies and highlighted Hong Kong’s relationship with Britain and China in the 1920s.
