This article is written in Hong Kong English, which has its own spelling conventions (colour, realise, travelled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.

Name of article

Shouldn't this article be at Hong Kong Federation of Trade Unions, the bolded name of the organisation (now a redirect)? That would also serve the purpose of avoiding confusion with the general concept of trade union federations. Similarily, Confederation of Trade Unions should probably be moved to Hong Kong Confederation of Trade Unions. / Alarm 13:42, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Umm.. It's a choice between the full name and the common name.. :-D — Instantnood 17:24, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)

Ideology

The source listed claiming the organization is conservative/pro-business checks out, but I found another source claiming almost the opposite (that the organization is more left-wing or socialist-esque). What should be done? HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 11:56, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

The policy-section kinda backs a more left-wing position. However it is completely possible they might be socially conservative and economically socialist or social democratic! Vif12vf/Tiberius (talk) 12:08, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
That's what I originally thought, then I looked up the first source, and saw the claim that the organization was pro-business, which at least in my mind, tends to rule out left-leaning positions. You rarely see even social-democratic parties described as pro-business unless they espouse more Third Way policies. The sources seem to be at-odds with one another. The only thing I can think of as to why this is may be that since the leftist organization is pro-Beijing, that makes it conservative by HK standards? Or maybe they're just pragmatic and switch positions? Not sure though. HapHaxion (talk / contribs) 13:38, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
Maybe it would be better to avoid bias and use an actual statement by the organisation. Too often westerners have wild ideas about what things are like in China, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 42.3.222.23 (talk) 23:53, 15 February 2021 (UTC)
