History (Lore)
The Nationalist Party (NP) emerged in the early 1970s as a minor right-wing faction, founded by disaffected members of the Ji Yau Dong who believed that Tsz Kong’s post-independence government was too accommodating toward foreign interests. Initially a fringe group, the NP promoted economic protectionism, cultural conservatism, and anti-communist rhetoric, positioning itself as the true defender of Tsz Kong’s sovereignty against Chinese influence. However, in its early years, the party struggled to gain traction, overshadowed by the dominant Democratic Party and the business-aligned Tong Heung Kuk.
The NP’s fortunes began to change in the wake of the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, which devastated Tsz Kong’s economy and eroded public trust in the establishment parties. Capitalizing on widespread anger over corruption, unemployment, and IMF-imposed austerity measures, the NP rebranded itself as the voice of the "forgotten citizens"—ordinary workers, small business owners, and rural communities left behind by globalization. Under the leadership of Law Tin-sang, a firebrand orator who framed the crisis as a betrayal by the political elite, the party adopted increasingly nationalist and anti-immigrant rhetoric, blaming foreign investors and mainland Chinese laborers for the country’s woes. By the early 2000s, the NP had secured its first major electoral victories, winning seats in the legislature and establishing itself as a force in regional politics.
The party’s true breakthrough came in the late 2010s, as a wave of right-wing populism swept across the world. The NP, now led by the charismatic and controversial Chan Ho-wah, embraced a bold new platform combining economic nationalism, anti-establishment sentiment, and cultural traditionalism. Chan railed against "cosmopolitan elites" in Victoria-Sham Uk, promised to restrict immigration (particularly from mainland China and Southeast Asia), and vowed to revive Tsz Kong’s manufacturing sector through tariffs and subsidies. His rhetoric resonated with older voters nostalgic for the country’s economic golden age, as well as younger supporters disillusioned with stagnant wages and unaffordable housing. The NP also stoked fears of eroding national identity, attacking the use of French and English in official contexts and promoting "pure" Cantonese culture as the heart of Tsz Kong’s heritage. This message found fertile ground amid growing anxiety over China’s expanding influence in the region. By 2018, the NP had become the second-largest party in the legislature, and in 2020, it entered a contentious coalition government, marking its transformation from a protest movement into a ruling power.
The NP’s rise has not been without backlash. Critics accuse the party of xenophobia, authoritarian tendencies, and exploiting ethnic tensions for political gain. Its hardline stance on immigration has drawn comparisons to far-right movements in Europe, while its economic policies have sparked clashes with international trade partners. Additionally, the party’s ties to ultraconservative religious groups and veteran anti-communist factions have raised concerns about its commitment to democratic norms.

As Tsz Kong grapples with economic uncertainty, demographic shifts, and geopolitical pressures, the party’s blend of populism and nationalism continues to attract a loyal base. Whether it can transition from protest politics to effective governance, however, remains an open question—one that will shape Tsz Kong’s future for years to come.
