The New Hong Kong Contingency was a project of dissident wealthy members of the Hong Kong establishment started after the British turned the rich city over to Communist China in 1997. They did not believe the Communist Party would hold to the agreement with Britain to maintain democratic freedoms in the city until 2047. And even if they did, these rich businessmen wished to keep their money in their families and fifty years was a short span of time as families measured it. So they created a long-term plan to squirrel their assets and families safely out of Communist Party control in the nearby Micronesian Islands. They purchased plots of land on numerous islands all over Micronesia and beyond through shell companies to keep their involvement secret, and prepared for the day when Hong Kong would inevitably fall. When the 2019 Freedom Protest began they knew it was time to trigger at least part of their plan.
