Am I 'local'?

ALTHOUGH I was not born here, and am not of United Kingdom origin, I have lived and worked in Hong Kong for some years.

I pay salary and property taxes to the Hong Kong Government only.

My wife and children were born here, and live here.

Except for me, all of us are fluent in both a Chinese language and English.

Along with them, I have the right of abode in Hong Kong.

Am I a ''local'' person? If not, why not? NAME AND ADDRESS SUPPLIED
