On 8 March 1915, residents reported a tiger in the woods at Wa Shan, Sheung Shui; two British police officers opened fire but failed to kill it, and Assistant District Superintendent of Police for the New Territories Bowlingham led six Indian police officers to surround and eventually shoot the tiger dead, resulting in the deaths of two police officers and one Chinese person.

On 8 March 1963, the Beijing People's Daily published an editorial stating that the present situation of Hong Kong and Macao was a legacy of past unequal treaties, that the Beijing authorities would seek a peaceful settlement through negotiation when conditions were ripe, and that the two places would maintain the existing state before the issue was formally addressed.
The Beijing authorities pointed out that Hong Kong and Macau were created by a series of unequal treaties imposed on China by former foreign powers, being parts of Chinese territory occupied by the British and Portuguese; handling affairs relating to Hong Kong and Macau is purely a matter within China's sovereignty and does not fall under the general category of so-called colonies.
The document stated that Hong Kong and Macau were parts of Chinese territory occupied by the British and Portuguese rulers, and that handling the Hong Kong and Macau issue was purely a matter within China's sovereign jurisdiction, not falling under the general category of 'colonies', and therefore should not be included in the list of colonial territories covered by the anti-colonial declaration.
