District 345 of Rotary International was established on July 1, 1960, uniting 19 Rotary clubs from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao under one district. Before this, the clubs were either non-districted or part of other districts dissolved by political turmoil in China and World War II. The district initially included 14 clubs in Taiwan, 4 in Hong Kong, and 1 in Macao. The first governor was Kwo Keh-Ti from Taipei. A tradition of alternating governors between Taiwan and Hong Kong lasted until 1987, when District 345 focused solely on Hong Kong and Macao. Multilingual communication and a Mandarin publication, Rotarian Quarterly, supported members across the region. In 1991, the district was renumbered to 3450 under a global system. This history reflects Rotary International’s adaptation to complex political changes in East Asia.

O Distrito 345 do Rotary International foi criado em 1º de julho de 1960, unindo 19 clubes de Rotary de Taiwan, Hong Kong e Macau sob um único distrito. Antes disso, os clubes eram não distritados ou faziam parte de outros distritos dissolvidos por turbulências políticas na China e pela Segunda Guerra Mundial. Inicialmente, o distrito incluía 14 clubes em Taiwan, 4 em Hong Kong e 1 em Macau. O primeiro governador foi Kwo Keh-Ti, de Taipei. A tradição de alternar governadores entre Taiwan e Hong Kong durou até 1987, quando o Distrito 345 passou a abranger somente Hong Kong e Macau. Comunicação multilíngue e a publicação em mandarim Rotarian Quarterly apoiaram os membros da região. Em 1991, o distrito foi renumerado para 3450 em um sistema global. Essa história reflete a adaptação do Rotary International às complexas mudanças políticas no Leste Asiático.
