Hongkongensis porro appellanda est donec nomen eo Latinius inveniatur.
Honcongensis      from-now-on to-be-called   is      until       name  for-it  more-Latin  may-be-found
Anno 1842 Sinenses Anglicis, qui mercaturas ibi et fabricabant et vendebant et exportabant,
In-year  1842   Chinese  to-English     who  merchandise there both manufactured and    sold         and    exported

Ab anno 1977 ut dictum est Insulam Sinenses denuo potiti sunt; praeterea, Dengtsiaopingo
from  year  1977  as   said  has-been island   the-Chinese at-last  took-possession-of  besides  with Deng Tsiao-ping
Praeside, ahbinc fere viginti annos, Sinenses omnes libertate oeconomica frui coeperunt, nulla
president     ago     almost twenty  years        the-Chinese       all     freedom    economic    to-enjoy  began          no
tamen libertate politica, nam factio communistica totam gubernandi potestatem retinuit.
however  liberty    political   for     party   communist    whole    of-governing   power      retained
Plerumque verum accidit ut qui  libertate oeconomica fruuantur, libertatem quoque politicam
Generally     truly   it-happens that those-who freedom   economic     enjoy           freedom        also     political

suus   a civibus sit suffragiis electus, quod periculosum communistis videtur, cum libertatem
their-own by citizens  may-be  by-votes  elected  which  dangerous     to-communists     seems    since freedom
politicam non solum Hongkongenses sed etiam reliqui aut multi Sinenses postulare possint.
political     not    only           Honkongers             but     also the-others    or   many   Chinese   to-demand  are-able
Attamen, ne motus popularis oriretur, comitia in anno 2017 indicta sunt sub ea condicione, ut
however    lest   movement popular  should-arise elections in year 2017 scheduled have-been under this  condition that
