Hong Kong: Abandoned by the World! 530K Hong Kong Elites Exit in 3 Years,Replaced by 4Mn Mainlanders
What exactly is happening in Hong Kong? Simply put, Hong Kong is rapidly becoming "mainlandized."
Since the implementation of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law" in July 2020, a new wave of emigration has erupted, with hundreds of thousands of Hong Kongers moving overseas. According to the "Youth Dashboard" statistics released by the Hong Kong Home and Youth Affairs Bureau in January, the young working population in Hong Kong plummeted by 200,000 from 2018 to 2022. Additionally, according to the "Passenger Flow Statistics" released by the Hong Kong Immigration Department, from July 2020 to June 2023, a total of 6.33 million Hong Kong residents departed through the airport, with only 5.8 million returns. This indicates a net outflow of 530,000 people over these three years, marking the most severe population loss in nearly 60 years. This trend is particularly pronounced among young people in their twenties, including high-end professionals like doctors, nurses, teachers, and financial sector workers.

So alll very rich will all ditch usa dollars and don't trade in unguarantee usa dollars anymore,,,and all nations will not accept unguarantee dollars into their banks anymore now, and all nations will not accept 3rd nations bring usadollars into their banks anymore,,,,?....

This is why HK was congested, and why they all have their so called ID cards.... It isn't like this was not known. And somebody recently posted about the various prostitution den, or other... that is frequented by the US marines.. I don't know how true that is... I am shocked to find that to be the reality, in truth.... And then this explains why these weird unwanted children, and where they came from etc. And their so called idealism.. that they were "definitely unwanted women".... I find that a bit sickening to be honest. Now I get why there had been SO many.. "Asians".... I get who they are now. A lot of those people already went into the mainland to create businesses any way. So.... maybe it is the left over Eurasians, that see themselves as Hong Kongers and not as chinese. That can explain things quite a lot. But the people who moved down into HK are not those from Canton... Before 1997... the ones who moved to Shenzen could be Cantonese.. It is when it created the so called "economic zones", that saw an influx of people, from various other provinces, who bombed it down into HK.. and created another kind of weird clusters of cities. They are mostly from rural areas... and doesn't want urban lifestyles. THIS is what worries a lot of the Urbanites in HK as well... Watch this video... kzread.info/dash/bejne/hXt-l8WTntLVlLw.html This is why.. not a 40 million region before 1997... It might have only been around a mere 10 million maybe.. or less.. Cos it was a shipping port area... It went into a decline, it made so many people move into the area... It is now a 40 million region... But many lost their homes, and then so many loans are carried out as well... And this is the latest news: A woman owning around 1200 suites in Shenzen ? Why ?? kzread.info/dash/bejne/rHp3r9qwhrCnfaQ.html This is the latest news... 300 billion US dollars.... kzread.info/dash/bejne/fmt73LCleZvcpNI.html But I think... it is correct that we don't broadcast this.. cos it does make people fearful and it causes a blip... but.. it does beg the question, why people have this many suits etc. All they need to do, is basically to consolidate themselves. And be done with. I hope they do the sensible things !!!.... And also NOT to risk HK.. cos putting HK at risk.. puts the globe at risk.. cos many countries are also tied to HK as well... and THEN.. the PRC would be in DEEP poop poop !!!.... Cos other countries are not going to be so forgiving for dragging them down AGAIN ! The 2008 crash was about China as well...

May, thanks for information. I was from mainland, grown up in HK, realized I would never had a future in HK without 'back ground' bc it's a very unequal society. Of course, much better than CCPchina and many other places. People move around for different reasons... survival I suppose. People bring good as well as bad things to places where they settle down and change that society (social history). I left HK long long time ago bc I want upward social mobility. It's hard beginning but all good now. I don't consider myself HKer or Chinese no more.

I had a friend whose family came from Hong Kong. All of them received their American citizenship before going to back to HK. They wanted to take advantage of the opportunities with the handover to China. Things were prosperous for awhile at first. But then it went downhill. I lost touch with her. But I wonder if she, and her family, came back to the US. Probably.
This is so timely. I live in California, San Francisco Bay Area, and within the last six months two families from Hong Kong have moved into my neighborhood. Absolutely lovely families.

Cos they escape the taxes as well. And then they see local competitions and then they play the price war thing as well. And then when it doesn't mix to their likings. They hire gangs to make it happen. It's like that again and again and again. Chinese whispers... Now I see that term as a joke. That isn't what most politicians want...

Should be a sunset clause for Hong Kongers (except the CCP puppets in the legislative body, Kerry Lam included), i.e.people born there to hurry and leave HK by a certain date, after which no more applications to emmigrate will be accepted after which HK will be as difficult to leave from as any other mainland city.

I was just in Hong Kong for the first time a few weeks ago, I did enjoy my visit although I can tell it was a city in the process of change, every young person I talked too who was from HK told me of their friends and family moving to countries like US, Aus and the UK. and many wished to do the same in coming months or years once able to to so. That said it was nice to talk to more senior citizens about Hong Kong and their love for it was still there, even lighting up when I told them how I loved the place... these conversations added to my enjoyment, but I did notice the that there were droves of people from the mainland which of course I was expecting. HK isn't dead just yet but its on its final stretch I'd imagine.

Hong Kong without people who truly embrace the unique mix of western and eastern culture; Hong Kong without a transparent legal system; consequently Hong Kong is nothing but a 2nd tiered coastal city within China, if I were a twenty something years old, I will migrate as well.
It goes to show that free capitalistic system works! RIP HK!
Hong Kong didn't become rich because of the land. It was the people and the overseas connections. Now that both are gone, Beijing is left with nothing but a shell of the city.
Hong Kong is just a one, two, out process for Chinese. They go to Hong Kong for a while on the way out, as directly out elsewhere is restricted.
What is the high-water mark for Chinese expansion? You know they working on Taiwan next . . . but what THEN? The Philippines? Japan? Indonesia? Australia? Hawaii? They will only stop once they are stopped.
