Honk Kong youths don't want to be identified as Chinese anymore.

As of today, reports from the Hong Kong public opinion say, that only 3.1% of Hong Kong youths identify themselves as Chinese or broadly chinese. It's a historic low, as they prepare to celebrate the 20th anniversary of returning to the Chinese rule, a poll released on Tuesday suggests.

The Hong Kong University surveyed 120 youths between the ages of 18 and 29.

The Asian financial hub has been governed under a "one country, two systems" agreement which guaranteed them a high degree of autonomy after getting back their sovereignty back in 1997.

Also, as the frequently taken polls suggest, youths are not confident in the future of Hong Kong. It's the first time the results were as low since 2003.

The latest results showed, that 93.7 percent of young people in Hong Kong see themselves as "Hong Kongers", compared to only 68 percent in 1997.

A wider survey that interviewed over 1,000 people of all age groups showed, that about 63 percent of people saw themselves as "Hong Kongers", and 35 percent believed they were Chinese.

These numbers are very similar to the results of 1997, which further proves the point that the youths have largly different believes when it comes to their affiliation with China.
