At that time, the western powers established in China university, then governor Lou thought that the UK should also set up an university in Hong Kong, as competition with other powers, and it will make Chinese people (especially Hong Kong people) identification of British values, rather than the other powers, so that the British facilitate south China expanding power, and consolidate the governance in Hong Kong.
The governor of Guangdong province and business circles also thought that the university was established to help Chinese learn western science and technology to China's self-empowerment, then they paid to support.
The Hong Kong government did not build the U of HK, it was funded by many people from India, China, UK, etc.
