Hong Kong Order Of Precedence
The Hong Kong order of precedence is a nominal and symbolic hierarchy of important positions within the Government of Hong Kong. Administered by the government's Protocol Division, the hierarchy does not determine the order of succession for the office of Chief Executive, which is instead specified by the Basic Law of Hong Kong. As a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China, Hong Kong theoretically maintains autonomy on all affairs other than defence and foreign relations. Reflecting that status, the order of precedence does not include state and party leaders of the Central People's Government. Government officials from mainland China are generally treated as special guests when attending Hong Kong government functions. Hong Kong SAR order of precedence #Chief Executive (John Lee, GBM, SBS, PDSM) # Chief Justice of the Court of Final Appeal (Andrew Cheung, GBM) #Former Chief Executives ##Tung Chee-hwa, GBM ##Donald Tsang, GBM ##Leung Chun-ying, GBM, GB ...
