My comments:
1. Donald Tsang ask HK80s' or couples to have more (~3x) children in one family, but not too many follow. The local birth rate is low with increase aging population (~ that in Singapore).
There are reasons for the poor response to this call, e.g. high costs (housing, education, etc), more complicated responsibilities, so not necessarily HK people's fault.
2. HKSAR & China Government have to close one eye to let Mainlander to have their child born here & get all the welfare. Hoping that their kid will help to build up HK in future decade.
Not sure why babies born in HK of Mainland parents have automatic right of abode, though it seems to be a common practice around the world.
3. Since 1979, Many HK people donate money & material to mainland & many HK investors (e.g. factory boss) contribute the great econmomy growth in Mailand. Even contribute to the big corruption of those mainlander. I would say nowadays most of the money of mainlander was originated from HK.
That was the past. The Chinese economy has grown at very high rates over the past years and I don't think it's fair to attribute the growth purely on contribution of HK investors. Nowadays, there are many investors from other countries.
4. During 1980-2003, HK guys went up to train mainlanders (inside factory or school education) & HK guys spend money there for cheaper properties/ food/ clothes etc, making HK local economy regress vs mainland's economy grow in fast pace.
Referring to your point 3, HK investors made money from factories set up in China and most of them remitted the profits back to HK. The effect of HK people's spending in Mainland China should not be over-estimated, compared to returns of HK investors from Chinese factories.
5. Most HK guys , no matter poor/ aged went mainland to get a younger wife.
Most? I didn't.
6. Mainlanders keen to learn cantonese to commuicate with HK guy in past 2 decades. But nowaday they ask you to say PTH, saying that they do'nt know & look down on cantonese.
I think it is not right to force the Mainlanders to learn a dialect (Cantonese) when the predominant national language is PTH. HK people were too proud at that time and were only humbled back to a normal level after the financial crisis of 1997-2003. Of course, this is also related to more business opportunities in Mainland China. |
