The sweeping ordinance, passed in a single day, was a useful tool for the
British colonial government when faced with a seamen’s strike in January
1922—but laid the foundations for long-simmering deep discontent in the
city. That year, Chinese seamen, weighed down by the increased cost of
living and stagnant wages, got fed up with a racist pay scale system imposed
in Hong Kong, through which foreign seamen were paid significantly more
than Chinese ones. | l*w
