Hong Kong Industries

Hong Kong Industries (Simplified Chinese: 智能电子解决方案) is a Chinese arms manufacturer. Hong Kong Industries was originally located in Taiwan. Taiwan became an industrial paradise in late 2008 after the country declared independence with the help of Japan and CyberCore. Hong Kong became an industry giant among Taiwanese companies. However, unlike the rest, it maintained its independence by not selling itself to the Japanese company at the beginning. Hong Kong manufactured weapons that were distributed throughout Asia and reached the United States.

Hong Kong is one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world. For years now, it has increasingly become a worthy competitor to CyberCore by introducing some of the most advanced technologies the market has ever seen. The mega corporation consistently exceeds customer expectations for quality weapons and equipment that suit both military and paramilitary needs. But most notably, Hong Kong is widely recognized for its specialization in the development, patenting and production of smart-class weaponry and weapon systems. In this market niche, they have no equal.

Governor of the real Hong Kong, which was a special administrative region on the east side of the Pearl River estuary in southern China. With more than 9.12 million people of various nationalities in a territory of 1,104 square kilometers, Hong Kong was one of the most densely populated places in the world. By 2045, the region was completely destroyed physically by a nuclear bomb, but was brought back to life in the Reconstruction Era both physically and in the form of the Network's digital consciousness.

In the 2040s, Hong Kong Industries restructured into a China-based company, quickly working its way to the top tier of weapons manufacturing at a tremendous pace thanks to bold decisions, brave strategy, and government backing. Now in 52361, the corporation was primarily known for its firearms, especially its new generation of weapons called "smart weapons" that employed gyrojet technology to fire caseless guided munitions, but were also becoming players in the security and mercenaries.

## History

### 2020

In 2020, HK Industries became one of the few corporations not to be purchased by Japanese CyberCore corporations. It remained independent in Taiwan as its small firearms manufacturing division was highly successful. Their pistols became very popular on the streets of Asia and many gang members opted for the reliable and affordable brand.

### Corporate War

In the years following the Corporate War, Asia was a ravaged and relentless war that left many countries paralyzed and deeply scarred. China was no exception as it recovered from internal turmoil, but its years of reconstruction and recovery were also a time of great opportunity. Hong Kong's restructuring began with the appointment of a former army colonel, Yung Huo, to run what was seen as an obsolete and collapsing corporation kept afloat by government subsidies. After four years under the leadership of Colonel Huo, the modernized and debt-free company officially debuted on the market with its A-28B Kong "smart" gun. Thanks to the company's alleged government connections, the corporation invested heavily in modern research facilities, rapidly expanding the "smart weapons" market. Over the next 20 years, through new government-funded research facilities, Hong Kong Industries surpassed its former rivals and became a top-tier weapons manufacturer on par with CyberCore.

It was during this time that the corporation designed a militarized AI in Shanghai capable of controlling intelligent weapons designed by the industry and generating automated systems in factories. The AI, called Shao, eventually took control of the entire corporation at the end of the Human Era as did Alt or Ava.

### Architects Era

Since 52361, Hong Kong has tripled its stock value, becoming a leading arms exporter in Asia. The last 200 years of war in the Time of Repression and Rest left many Asian countries paralyzed and deeply marked.

In 52060, an explosion at a company refinery in Hangzhou left more than 50,000 dead. Although official accounts cleared the corporation of negligence, many still blamed them for the explosion. The same year, Hong Kong expressed interest in Neo-Tokyo's Pacifica district. The government responded by explaining that they would sell the district cheaply if Hong Kong agreed to clean the area of all crime. No official agreements had been made.

Hong Kong was also considered the fourth largest and best corporation to work for in Neo-Tokyo. Provides employees with a Trauma Care Gold insurance package. At the same time, it requires employees to sign a 50-year loyalty pledge.

## Divisions

### Hong Kong Security

Hong Kong has numerous private security companies that provide a variety of security services, including security personnel, surveillance systems and risk assessment. These companies work with businesses, organizations, and individuals to address specific security needs and concerns. Hong Kong Security is a division dedicated to the training of security armies and police officers in China and Taiwan. Shao Defense Corps is an elite military force of advanced neomilitaries designed to combat invaders and any threats to the nation. Operating from its headquarters, the Shao Defense Corps is led by a Command that receives orders from the Chinese Security Council. Members of this security force have often joined the Automata Mech Defense Corps to pilot mecha in the Pacific War. Each Shao Defense Corps squad has a security pod and other artificial intelligence androids. Shao also operates several ground bases around the world, including rocket launch facilities to send supplies to orbital bases and the moon. Shao also has a surface fleet with at least one large aircraft carrier.

### Hong Kong Heavy Industries

Hong Kong Heavy Industries is a weapons manufacturer and its products are sold in varying volumes in eighty-two countries and over 250 corporations, not to mention millions and millions of individuals, groups, gangs and small businesses around the world. The corporation generally manufactures different weapons and armored vehicles.

### Hong Kong Research Labs

China has made rapid advances in areas such as education, infrastructure, high-tech manufacturing, academic publishing, patents and commercial applications and is now in some areas and by some measures a world leader. Corporations such as Hong Kong Industries have research laboratories designed for studies in various branches of science and engineering.

## Public Relations

The public relations of Hong Kong Industries and the Shao government have remained largely the same since their restructuring. Hong Kong's relations with the Chinese government have kept it out of trouble in the past, and most nations generally recognize it as a Megacorporation worth doing business with. However, his relationships with other corporations are strained, as he has made several efforts to steal from the competition.

### Controversies

Hong Kong has had a reputation for being negligent in its various endeavors. The corporation has been involved in the deaths of thousands of citizens and employees due to its operations, and also has a reputation for stealing much research from other corporations in its field. While Hong Kong is aggressive, it manages to keep many of its controversial operations secret.
