Ex Hongkonger comment on Spore
-
Hongkees are actually a pathetic lots, many of them today, still do not exactly know their true identity or what they want to be, if you speak cantonese in HK today, do you know you are consider low class, and if you speak good mandaring, you are well respected, a reverse of what happen in the 90s. Today, they are under the Special Adminstration Rule curse with bird flu every now and then. And all these virus started since the china rule them, with influx of neighbour zhu hai, guandong, shenzhen and many nearby china cities pouring in , you get Sars and bird flu blaming on them, and they do not dare to blame on mainland china.
In 1997, many left for canada and south east asia, mostly in singapore and malaysia, so many are ex Hongkees. Unless for the Hongkong richs, there are many lost soul today in HK, in 40 years time, it will be completely return to china as a province, what the people there is going to do or take on, is still vague.

hong kong isn't even a country. it's part of PRC
Agreed....currently, the well-off people in Hong Kong speak mandarin instead of cantonese. The wealth of the upper class in mainland china is many times that of Hong Kong... huge discrepancy, in fact. The richer ones had already migrated to Canada, UK, USA or Australia.
