Hong Kong residents believe themselves to be at least as free as they were prior to the Chinese takeover of the island in 1997, according to recent surveys.

A freedom survey carried out by Hong Kong University in early January asked 1,000 people to rate their satisfaction on 10 freedom indicators.

Almost all subjective freedom indicators have gone up over the past three months many near record highs since the handover, said Robert Chung director of Hong Kong Universitys public opinion programme.

Residents were asked to rate the categories on a scale of 0-10. Among the 10 indicators Freedom of speech Freedom of the press and Freedom of publication all rose most strongly over the last three months.

Freedom of religious belief and freedom in entering or leaving Hong Kong topped the list with marks of 8.69 and 8.45 respectively. They were followed by Freedom to engage in academic research (8.1) and Freedom in artistic and literary creation (8.09).
