Hong Kong families find fresh start in London

Former Hongkongers like Simon Ho are finding a growing community in the South London neighbourhoods of Sutton, New Malden and Kingston - all locations favoured by recent arrivals to the UK as part of the British National (Overseas) scheme. The Post’s Laura Westbrook went to meet them, and found that like many young families, they said they were worried about how changes in Hong Kong could affect their children’s future - and looked to find communities with good schools in the United Kingdom.

    Funny thing is Hong Kong under British rule of over 100 years did not have democracy. So alot of Hongkongers doesn't mind British didn't give them democracy but they mind China did not give them democracy. Anyone have gone to Hong Kong will experience freedom as they have experienced in their own country. And Hong Kong is still a destinations where alot of people aspire to go live and work.

    It's so heartbreaking. I'm a British person living in Hong Kong for decades, and absolutely love HK & the people here, there's been so much change so quickly that I completely understand why so many people started fleeing Inc many of my local friends esp for the sake of their children. Many of my UK friends also left & returned to the UK. It's been a quite the mental & emotional battle to decide to stay or go back to the UK even for me as a British person as it feels quite an alien lifestyle for me in the UK now tbh. I'm so impressed by how resilient & brave HKers are! It's never easy leaving a home & life u love to go out into the unknown. I really hope they are treated with the respect & dignity they deserve, hard working, honest people that value strong community & education.

    The UK is both highly diverse and very open-minded -- especially when compared to more closed attitudes across Continental Europe. Of course there's a lot of propaganda about Hong Kong newcomers being unwelcome, much of it propagated by CCP websites and bots on KZread. But the truth is that they've largely been very welcome in local British communities and have integrated smoothly into what is already one of the most diverse societies anywhere. Here in London, the growing Hong Kong communities in Kingston-on-Thames, Canary Wharf, Whitechapel, and Woolwich (to name a few) are absolutely thriving. There's loads of community events as well as cultural-exchange meetings with other local groups. >>The only real issue in recent months has been occasional verbal clashes with mainland Chinese students etc. (see the recent incident where CCP slogans were painted on a wall in Shoreditch), as mainlanders already exist in the UK in huge numbers (estimated at over half a million, possibly up to 650,000). That said, such incidents have been few in number.

    When my parents from HK came to Western Europe half a century ago, the HK emigrants then were mostly poor and non-educated. Most couples did not have children at arrival and just sought a better living here, which was then a logic choice. Nowadays many HK parents think they could give their young children a better future in Western Europe, but have no idea what it means for their children to grow up here where the Asian children look and behave different than their Western peers, and will always be treated as different. On one comment in another video about this topic, in which a HK man imposed on his daughter his thought that UK is better, and another in which a HK woman talks to a UK woman as if HK women always shout at their children, whereas UK women won’t. A kind of thought, in which the West is pictured as better or even superior. From the perspective from a middle aged Asian man who was born and has lived all his life in a Western country with the highest university degree, and who has been to HK a couple of times, life in the West will be tough for newcomers from HK: By giving up their well paid jobs, the highly educated Hong Kongers come to the West to fulfill low paid jobs, and turn from the upper class in HK to the lower class in the West. They will encounter racism and are often defenseless. Their status is even lower than the uneducated Islamic people who emigrated to the West massively. The weather here is not suited for Asians. If you cannot speak the local language fluently, you will always be an outsider, and will be looked down. Even when you speak the local language 100% fluently and could defend yourself verbally against all kinds of people, you are still an outsider in the West. Most Asian boys will remain single, as they are pictured here as non-masculine, and lots of Asian girls, pictured as obedient, will marry the white men, because of their highest social status. As for the children, growing up in an environment, in which they do not feel “welcome”, “safe” and/or “accepted” they will experience lifelong consequences. These HK parents think they know better for their children, because they reason from a rational point of view. But children don’t. The social environment in the West has changed dramatically due to massive influx from Muslim and other people: Social tensions have increased in the last decade, and social issues here are visible, in which Asians are collateral damage. Anti-Asian sentiments are present and growing. Asians in the West are not second rank, but (will) become third rank like in the US and Canada, where I have been to many times for longer periods. Third rank means also discriminated by second rank citizens like Muslims and the dark people. For HK children to raise up in the West is nowadays much harder than in my youth three/four decades ago. As a matter of fact, I do not see any future for HK families to come to the West. They will burn their savings here. They will lose their high status and their well paid jobs back home. Their children will experience things unknown to them in HK. There is no bright future for newcomers in the West as my parents did see when they choose to live here 50+ years ago. Neither for the locals nor for the newcomers from HK, nowadays. For HK families still in HK and considering emigration to the West, it would in my viewpoint a big mistake. Social and political changes are everywhere, also in the West. Instead of getting emotional on these topics, focusing on saving money for their children is more practical, which is impossible in the West with the low paid jobs and income tax as high as 35%-49%.

    Indeed, my worry is that as neo-liberal policies are failing spectacularly in the West, they will turn increasingly towards nationalism, which if not managed properly, will be very dangerous for immigrants and "non-original" looking people (whom were typically made scapegoats in past artrocity). In China, HKers are ethnically Chinese i.e. the "original" and major population of this area. In the West, it is a big NO, so HKers in the West are advised to monitor their social environment closely and return should it become dangerous. HOWEVER, that does depend on what you most value in life, I guess. Some prefer to "burn brightly, then die".

    In 1979 Hong Kong had an appointed colonial governor with little representation from the native population. It was not a democracy. No issue with seeking freedom but this idea that Hong Kong was democratic under the British then lost democracy is just historical ignorance and the 50 year agreement the British signed was with the same assumptions of eternity of its principles than the original treaties that gave Britain the isles. There was a time in Hong Kong where ‘no dogs and no Chinese’ were on the front of stores too. Anyway hope the weird colonial fantasy pleases you all

    Hong Kong people are hard working, educated and skilled. Any country would be lucky to receive them. This is also why the numbers that have moved to the UK so far are lower than expected because Hong Kong people who want to move overseas do have options to move to other countries too. The UK is not their only option. The dynamism and pace of life in Hong Kong is very different to the UK (and many other countries) and will take some adjusting to. I wish these Hong Kongers and their kids all the very best wherever they choose to settle. And I hope one day they can return to a better Hong Kong.

    What are you talking about? They have been trying for YEARS. What do you think the protests since 2014 have been for? But nothing they could do worked. The CCP has tightened its regulations on everything in HK. All the spots on the legislative council are now either Beijing-controlled or Beijing-approved. In 2019 pro-democratic politicians fought so hard to win spots in the local elections, for the first time ever nearly 3 million people turned up to vote and gave the pro-democracy parties landslide victories. One step forward for democracy? No. They were disqualified, accused of fraud, forced to resign, removed with thinly veiled excuses. They have tried everything. There's nothing left. And now that any person who is known to have a pro-democratic leaning can be taken away to prison without a word the only thing that can be done is to flee for the sake of themselves and their families. If you think you could try harder then go there and make a change. Change the cold inhuman heart of the CCP and the hundred million cogs in its machine. Go on. We will be so happy to have you there.

    That's a complete lie. Yes some moved back after 97, but they are returning to Canada and the United States in droves. HK population is declining and the only reason the decline isn't worst is cause Mainlanders are moving in. Ironically, many of those Mainlanders who moved to HK, with the veil of Chinese propaganda and the great firewall removed, have realized what Freedom is and have moved to the West along with native Hong Kongers. I have a new neighbor whose originally from Mainland China but moved to Hong Kong 10 years ago. He too is now among the wave of Hong Kongers who came to Canada. So it seems even non-native HKers from Mainland China feel the crushing weight of a Chinese dictatorship.

    There are also many others who moved to HK when those HKers left. Nobody is really indispensible. You leave and others will fill the void. Live where you are happy with and what you can tolerate ultimately. UK isn't utopia nor are its streets paved with gold either. They are now going through the toughest economic downturn and stagflation in decades, alot of which was self induced.

    In the run up to 1997, many Hong Kong people left HK for reasons like communism, authoritarian, no democracy, no human rights, no freedom etc. Then years later after 1997, many Hong Kong people returned to HK after obtaining a foreign citizenship. Why returned to HK? What happened to the reasons that made them leave in the first place? Did those reasons, years later after 1997, become invalid? Not really. Now, there are now many Hong Kong people who are in the process of migrating or have already migrated. And they talked about the reasons that support their migration decision. For these people, if they ever return to HK to stay on a permanent basis, whatever reasons that they cited for their migration decision at that time are full of craps!
