At the end of the day, what matters most is jobs and money. Where are the jobs? Where is the money? The fact that so many young Hongkongers are moving out of Hong Kong and into Guangdong province just tells us that there is money to be made over there in the Mainland, and they have a lot of purchasing power with the money they earn. This should ease up the housing market in Hong Kong, and of course, when demand lowers, the homesellers can't charge as high of a price as they used to. This only benefits the people, not the rich elites of Hong Kong. The video mentions that Hong Kong hairdressers now have to compete with Mainland hairdressers for customers, but I think it is good competition. Having a monopoly in industry is only desirable for the capitalist because the consumers will be forced to buy products and services from the company, and the consumers have no other choice. The capitalist will collect that as passive income--money that will keep the capitalist's lifestyles afloat. If things are going good for the capitalist, why change? The problem with monopolies is that a monopoly only benefits the sole provider, and the sole provider has too much power over everyone else. It's practically feudalism.
Yes. Allows Hong Kong people greater value for money. Property, income, food and lifestyle they are no longer locked into property enslavement in Hong Kong. Having visited Hong Kong it is just to cramped to live a good life.
More than 10 years ago when I was working in China, my colleagues from Hong Kong were already reluctant to return to Hong Kong. They can live in a whole apartment in China by themselves but have to sleep in double decker beds in a small room back in Hong Kong 😂. Food and other services are much cheaper. The pace of work and life were not that fast. The locals really know how to enjoy themselves and strive for work life balance. The Chinese don’t earn as much as the Hong Kongers but their quality of life is better.
My friends in China work overtime everyday until 9:00pm (IT company in Hangzhou), 5-day annual leave, no work-life balance, I won't consider working in China.
@@alfredchan2771 The IT industry is famous for their 996 culture advocated by greedy entrepreneurs like Jack Ma. Not all industry is like that especially those big foreign corporations which try to abide by the labour laws. However China is going through a very bad patch in the last few years and everyone is being squeezed. I have colleagues who moved to 2nd tier cities as they were not used to life in the first tier cities although the salaries are higher. Cities like Hangzhou, Suzhou and Chong Qing etc can provide much better quality of life at a lower cost and pace.
I am 58. Born in Hong Kong but my family emigrated when I was only 2 years old. I grew up in NY but sought out the HK culture as a teen. I watched a lot of TVB and listened to HK singing stars in the 80s. Most of my Chinese friends are the same. We love HK culture. I hope they can continue to preserve the culture. It means a lot to us overseas Cantonese.
HKers were so mean and looked down on mainlanders coming into HK in the past decade. Now the trend is reversing, I wonder how they're being treated over there.
Yes agree. I'm an Australian in Shenzhen, and whenever I went to HK with my (very well educated mainland) girlfriend, it would shock me how she would be looked down upon by even convenience store workers in HK. We stopped going, and went further abroad instead.
countries like hong kong and singapore or south korea or australia are relatively small with small populations, any significant immigration of hundreds of thousands even millions would be greatly felt everywhere.....even if a million hong kongers decide to migrate to china,in their provinces where the population ranges from 20 million to over 100 million, a million hong kongers would dissipate like nothing into the vast population, u barely even notice their presence....
To be honest, who doesn't look down on the mainlanders though? Outside of china, the mainlanders were perceived as lack of social etiquette. Even doing business, they are well-known for being tricky and too greedy. In south-east asia is even worse with all these chinese crime syndicates. There are reason"s" why the anti-mainlander sentiment exists and on the rise.
Singaporeans don't realise that HK is part of China, not a different country...good to see that young people are looking beyond the city that they grow up in and have a wider perspective of the world...thousands of Singaporeans and Malaysians are working in HK and GBA also..why?
One must not forget that a large number of these HK young people have grandparents or great grandparents who migrated from various parts of Guangzhou to HK. So for them, it is really a homecoming of sorts.
Isn't Hong Kong part of China, It's very natural for youths to get employed in their motherland. It's good that the talent remains in China and is not lost to other parts of the world.
but its not other parts of the world its a 30 minute train ride from shenzhen their bringing back so much money and flooding their mainland with wealth
It speaks for me too! I was born in Hong Kong, migrated to the West as a child, and has a Ph.D. in engineering. I am now making plans to go back - for geopolitical reasons - why should my skills be used to benefit countries that hate China and wants to do everything to stop China from rising to #1 place in the world order? I have no wish to continue paying taxes to enemy regimes. As for where I plan to work, well, my Mandarin isn't very good (since I left in 1990 when I was 10), so I will probably have to be in the Bay Area. But I'd actually rather live on the Mainland (Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Zhuhai, Zhongshan) than in HK itself because the city is too expensive, and because it has a border, it'd be more convenient to just live on the Mainland.
I went to HK first time 12 years ago. It surprised me as many things were so good and never seen, like 许留山. I went to HK again 6 years ago. Then it disappointed me somehow as manythings in Mainland were better than HK.I went to HK and Macau this year the third time. Found almost no change in HK. The life styles of mainland in many ways are better than in HK. I went to a small city, RuiAn , in Zhejiang province last week, I just felt the living conditions of elderlies in RuiAn city are much better than in HK and Macau. I got understood why many elderlies from HK move to Zhongshan, Zhao Qing, Zhuhai, etc for retirement life.
Shenzhen is a futuristic city, I stay there one month and half and provides many opportunities and also fun, I won't be surprised whether more Hong Kongers will go there.
Finally!!! That's the right thinking and mind set!!! I am super glad and excited that the youths in Hong Kong are looking in the right direction. China is the motherland and the land of opportunities!! WE ARE CHINESE!! After all the riots and unrest back in 2019 this makes me tear up!!! WE ARE CHINESE AND CHINA IT'S OUR BLOOD, OUR FAMILY AND OUR HOME.
Average mainland chinese living standards are far better than Hong Kong the value for money in 2nd or 3 rd tier chinese cities is even more mind boggling u will get 1 world infrastructure + social services on top of that it's so inexpensive at the same time u can literally compare the commodity prices with 3rd world I, e india
Comparable living standards in 2nd and 3rd tier cities to Hong Kong? Social services? I guess if you enjoy living with people whose brains are still somewhere in 1970s when it comes to manners, and like smelling the uncles smoking like chimneys. You know the average salary in the 3rd tier city?
The biggest problem youngsters are facing these days is the lack of affordable housing. HongKong has land scarcity so it can't be expanded like the cities in Mainland China. I think the city can learn a lot from Singapore on the matters of housing.
HK has different passports. In the US, Hong Kong immigrants face a different immigration queue than the ones from mainland China. HK has its own immigration with visa requirements. So, it is not that easy to move from one city to the other. Not to mention, HK drives on the left. Mainland China drives on the right.
@@JingJao only difference in US immigration queue is US citizens and everyone else. Most people don't even drive in HK, let alone have a car, who care is left or right. Plus the requirement working in the greater bay area is pretty relax, all you need is find a job in the mainland.
@@JingJao 1 country 2 systems This is a necessity for economic development and also a test area. A flexible way of operation is always smarter than putting all eggs in one basket.
@@JingJao Lol, You can choose to establish an independent country and appoint yourself as the president, so that your family will not be bound by anyone.
Whether the West likes it or not, the same phenomena will happen with increasingly more Taiwanese opting to move across into the Mainland as as time goes on, this is where the money will be.
That's why they heavily supported the riots in Hong Kong and the indoctrination project of the DPP in Taiwan, lately in Taiwan after failing expectations of the propaganda they pushed specially for the families that followed Chinese culture are now pushing a "taiwanese culture" that less Chinese culture..... Of course the west will embrace that and completely try to separate Taiwan from the mainland even though the west don't care about Taiwan but at least hundred of thousands already figured that out and some are even traveling around china to see for themselves that they didn't have immunity against propaganda like the DPP said
Lets see, if your rent in Newark, NJ is 5x cheaper than a tiny apartment in Manhattan and that "Newark" is full of life and no violent crimes, what would you choose........
This is a natural cycle.. eg. Hong Kongers are retiring in China, Malaysian retiring on Thailand, South Koreans in Hanoi Vietnam, Singaporeans in malaysia and Indonesia.
There's something else they are not telling us. The racket is, 1) Earn money and live affordably on the Mainland 2) Save money to speculate in Hong Kong real estate 3) Blame the Mainlanders for unaffordable HK real estate prices Beautiful formula isn't it !
@@stephenc6955this is misleading. Salaries in China are a lot lower than Hong Kong. Do you want to earn a few thousand reminibi per month ? Yes? Than GBA is your call.
@@chongkengtuck305 have you even been to china before ? It's not as cheap as you're making out. I'm sure I'd be happy if I was earning CNY 6000 to spend half of it on housing ?
I have long ago say, if Hong kongers willing to drop their egos, drop to keep comparing, and just cross to even Shenzhen, they get better life quality already than the insane living pressure in HK. I been to HK seen the life there and felt the living pressure. I then been to Guangzhou and Shenzhen where I see spaces, near similar culture but lesss chaotic life pace. Prices are more friendly than HK. Now more and more HK people accepting mainland but still they are very defending HK culture which is good. Actually all are Chinese (Wah yan). Malaysian Chinese here.
No surprise at all. let alone hongkongers, even me as a tourist didn't want to stay at hongkong. i'd rather stay in Shenzen and travel to hongkong by metro. the metro was cheap, and the hotel room in shenzen was much larger than hongkong's hotel, and cheaper too
I'm not sure why Hongkongers dislike China. The reason why HK was successful is because China was not opened back then and traded with the world through HK. Hongkongers should not be arrogant because HK is successful. HK will not survive on her own without China's backing. You simply do not bite the hand that feeds you.
is it hard to obtain a mainland permit? I've seen cars with both HK (or Macau) and mainland license plates. But most HKers don't really drive, and HSR is pretty convenient.
Actually HK is not losing our youth to China. The government in HK has been advertising for years for our youth to go to GBA for development with little success. The reality is our elderly are en masse going to GBA. Poor research and the title of the video is loaded with opinions not fact.
My dad was in the British Army in the 80s and 90s in HK and their main job was to catch mainland Chinese and send them back to the mainland. How has the tide turned.
Wrong, Mainland China is not arresting or catching HKGers, they actually welcome their brothers and sisters cos they are one. Those were the Colonial days!
This should not be a surprise. HK has been a dying city ever since the British handed it back to China. When you visit HK, that feeling of the lack of energy and the lack of hope is quite palatable.
Funny how HK only felt 'alive' when China also started opening, and became 'dying' once HK no longer serves as the window for China to the world. Almost like the heydays of HK had almost nothing to do with the British.
I’ve seen real estate videos of Zhuhai, and they seem really affordable. I wish China will make it easier for foreigners to buy apartments as second homes etc and make it easy for them to get visas. Like the Thailand model.
Money talks and bullshit walks. Where there is Job and money , that's where people will go. If at home the youth cannot find jobs and they need to survive , they will have to search for alternatives. Hong Kong is not the same Hong Kong as before. That simple.
Said well. The same is for a small island SG, not the same as before, the good is HK people complain less, whereas the small islanders are complaining and taunting the regime with their demands. More foreigner talents are needed in the place.
When you are young it,s easier to adapt to living in a different place and also more affordable for hong kongers to live and work on the mainland. Hong Kongs lack of land makes property so expensive and they can only expand up that's why there are so many tall buildings.
GZ quality of life is so much better than HK. It’s safer, cleaner, has a bigger network of subways, buses, cab hailing at a much lower costs. Rents are way cheaper , the city is much greener , food variety and costs way less. Things like clothes , groceries, electronics, eating out are also much more affordable. HK has lost its edge. For a 400 sq ft apartment in HK , you can definitely rent a 2000 sq ft apartment in GZ and still costs less. That’s the difference
@ Yes , Cantonese , Mandarin and English ( younger ppl ). And GZ has great food - seafood , cantonese , Chao Zhou , Shunde , international ( Many countries). BJ & SH dont have affordable seafood. And weather is way more pleasant esp winters. And its a shopping mecca.
@@BigJoe-g3o China is how the USSR may have looked like had it succeeded with economic reforms, and didn't do political liberalism which broke up their country. As Deng Xiaoping famously said of Gorbachev after their meeting in Beijing: "This man may appear smart but is in fact stupid." Never have truer words be said. Coincidentally, it was Deng Xiaoping's 120th birthday today. Every Chinese in the world should fall on their hands and knees and thank Deng Xiaoping that the CPC Politburo wasn't stupid and misguided like the Soviet Politburo. We still have our country. They lost theirs.
@@pineapplesareyummy6352nope, china is national socialist, china isnt anything like the soviets, they use karl schmit a nazi politican instead of karl marx now, and adopt gregor strassars economics not hitler or marx or lennin
this is why It is a HUGE advantage for HK to be closer to the mainland. do they think HK can survive without the mainland? use this opportunity to explore the mainland and grab opportunities
The extension of lockdown in HK was the final straw that expediated foreign business exodus out of HK, HK no longer serve its original use to be the capitalist window for foreign companies to do business with China via Hong Kong. This resulted in high unemployment and no job openings as business shifted HQ to Singapore, Tokyo, India, Indonesia, etc. It's inevitable that HKers have to travel upstate or abroad, less about greener pasture but more to survive. Side note, the popular forums in HK(lihkg & hkgolden) love posting our late MM LKY laughing meme as a reaction to Hong Kong's economic state, since Singapore did nothing and just kept winning.
Hahahah they moved to Shanghai not outside of china. Why should they go Tokyo if they wanna do business in china. Makes no sense and no manufacturer has moved outside of china. They just moved inside china.
LKY was a well read and intelligent leader unlike the midwit Xi who has a degree in marxist theory lmao, not that the current HK thugs in charge are any better though
The whole premise of Hong Kong as an economic hub was artificial and a relic of colonialism. The geography of Hong Kong isn't even conducive to having a large population - there is almost no flat land, everything is reclaimed. It is only for political reasons that HK grew big. But today, foreign countries can just trade directly with Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Ningbo, Hangzhou, etc. HK is just reverting to its norm, which is that the land it sits on is just not very good, it has to adjust to a future as part of the Greater Bay Area to stay relevant. Everybody knows that.
@@pineapplesareyummy6352 Actually HK was strategic. It was part of the Canton area where the trading port was one of the only places decreed by Qing dynasty in 1757 to limit trade with the West. Later they were forced to open other ports Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen etc. British didn't so much as create HK out of thin air, but merely ''set up shop'' in a popular area. Hongkong grew because they were outside communist China (which was economically isolated) then. Yes, they can all trade elsewhere now since China's opening up. But many HongKongers' mindsets still live in the past glorious years.
@@remix-yy1hs Spoke like a guy whose knowledge is still stuck in the 90s. China shifted the entire tech hub from Shanghai to Shenzhen and designated it as China's premier tech city working hand-in-hand with Hong Kong for a reason, what are you even yapping about?
Lost in Productivity by Hong Kong. But Efficiency is given by the Mainland China Area as a Boost for Hong Kong. But there aren't any Major Investments in Hong Kong's Economy for promotion of Industry that led to Lost in Productivity towards the Mainland China. Hong Kong is no Competitor for Singapore.
It depends on how they look at the Greater Bay Area. If they look at it positively, it is a whole new world of possibilities. If they look at it the other way, then it looks like China is taking over everything! The environment will never change to suit us, it's up to us to adapt to it. Many of the success stories are by people who started their quest under the most adverse conditions. "If you can survive calamities, you can survive anywhere" That's why many Asians do very well wherever they go because of adaptability but no so much of Westerners bacause they feel their system is the best and wants to make others be like them. No offense meant but this is the fact of life!
HK salary + Sim Card and living in shenzhen/Guang zhou will be the best options for the HK youths. In the end of the day, although money still talks, Money needs to transform into housing, goods, food and services for one to consume, otherwise it is just a number.
i think reality is HK is losing its youth and talents to UK, Canada, Japan, USA, Australia.... Just travel to these places and you will hear cantonese much more these days. In the 80s we were losing our workforce to China as China industrialize within 10 years they learned the trade and many came back as they lost high paying jobs. China also has hundred of thousands universities graduates globally returning home the so call "sea turtles". There is no lack of talent pool in China but seems more lack of opportunities as their universities grads main employment nowadays are didi driver, food delivery and couriers! If GBA is really so good you Singaporeans are the first to sign up lah😂
You are such a messed up person…..shitting on China due to your personal problems. I am a Malaysian and most Malaysians support China. HK youth are free to go anywhere in the world but they have a BIG PROBLEM. HK youth’s English is not good. If they go to Australia, UK or USA …..they won’t do well. They can thrive in the greater Bay Area.
I am from Hong Kong have lived in the US and New Zealand, and I also regularly go to Canada because I have relatives there. No, you DON'T hear Cantonese more regularly these days. It used to be almost exclusively Cantonese in Asian food market. In the last 20 years, it has slowly switched from Cantonese to Mandarin. Now, I am hearing Mandarin more often than I hear Cantonese. The only country where you might hear a lot of Cantonese is Japan, because Hong Kong tourists like to go there. I have had people stop me on the street in Osaka and ask my directions in Cantonese (I am still wondering how they figured out I wasn't Japanese). But in English-speaking countries, no, Cantonese is actually becoming much more rare as the Chinese population reflect recent growth from immigration from the Mainland. I have plenty of colleagues at work who are Chinese. Only one speak Cantonese, only because he is married to a Cantonese speaker from Guangdong. Everyone is from the Mainland.
Dear CNA I’m sorry to do this to you as it just so happens that I’m able to comment on this now. I don’t know why I keep seeing “youths” used in this manner in our local press and it’s this itch I’ve been trying not to scratch. Youths is used as a plural when it’s a “countable” ‘3 youths were arrested” Youth is the plural we use when we refer to a cohort of young people
Once young Hong Kongers stopped listening to the west and experienced Mainland China - all the bad vibes disappear. Same thing with Taiwan youth who visit the mainland... Many go back to study or work and move there..... But Taiwan isn't reunified yet.
@@Jemolianso the dpp wont keep destroying the economy, in fact taiwans birth rates like south korea are the lowest in the world 2 times as low as china, also taiwan cannibalized all other industries for semiconductors, while the usa is actually paying intel and nvidia to make domestic fabs, so all the fabs in taiwan are a ticking timebomb, while the dpp pocketed tons of money
Any Hongkong citizen and their family can go to any mainland city to live, buy their own housing and enjoy all the benfits like employment, education, medical etc. as local people.
do you know what is the truth about this ? this condition is made by RRC itself to initiate people in hongkong to be immigrant to mainland china and develop the mainland and this has been started since hongkong under british
Hong Kong apartment is already ridiculous. Not to mention how China has developed so much that it surpass Hong Kong. Why bother going back to Hong Kong? Even the apartments are much larger. Sure there are things to give up, but mainland China, few kilometers away provide more convenience.
@@BigJoe-g3o You're saying the opposite. Vietnam used to be a part of China. Do you know why Wang Bo, the author of "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng," was buried in Vietnam? Because his father was the governor of Vietnam province at that time!
"will hong kong lose it's identity?" what a joke. hong kongers and singaporeans had no problem being conquered and ruled by the british as well as learning english. Cantonese from the mainland can speak both Chinese languages. that's like asking a Singaporean 60 years ago if learning english instead of Hokkien is bad for their identity.
Actuall the economic situation in china is worse, that includes HK and all the southern cities in south of china. A new job or start a business is not easy now.. even for those many People who left HK to overseas confronts many difficulties.
the rioters are mainly white worshippers , most of them haven't lived through British rule or can barely remember it, but they want the British to colonize hong kong again , they don't really care about democracy as long they are ruled by whites. Democracy is only necessary if they are ruled by Asians, that's what many of them said...but the media love to give them autoracists all the coverage they want
Sound like mainland China has more democratic than HK, that’s why youths move to mainland China. Based on Singapore media democracy is more important than foods on the table. Time change now, most of democracy country people move to live in China. And they even raise their kids over there cos China is most safe and secure country in the top worldwide. While Singaporeian lives in the most unaffordable property and nothing interesting. I can’t wait to see Singapore people move to China soon.
As someone who is from Hong Kong, with relatives who live there, and regularly go back, I can say a difference between HK and the Mainland is that the Mainland government is actually responsive to the People. The CPC has made it a point that the Party works for the People. The CPC doesn't want unrest. They pamper the People well. In HK, the government is NOT responsive to the needs of the People, and everyone perceives it to work for the interests of the rich. We have poor people who live in cages (this has been a thing going back decades. I was born in the British colonial era and there were people living in slums and cages back then). HK government is seen as on the side of property developers and property owners in maintaining prices sky high, out of reach of ordinary people. The Mainland has its own problems too, but as a HKer, I can see that people are better governed on the Mainland.
There are so many provinces in China with their own distinct dialects and culture and they are not asking for additional special treatment. What is so special about Hong Kong to warrant protection - its misplaced pride it used to be a British colony?
HK developers are milking the hell out of properties since there is plenty of land in HK. When you sell 280 sq feet for $8M it’s a joke. I hope the China Gov. can make it an objective to make travel within GBA to less than 1 hour.
Hong Kong as an international center is finished. CCP policies to erode Hong Kong's advantages have worked, so congrats! Hong Kong will be 3rd or 4th most important in that Greater Bay Area scheme.
I think this integration only make sense as it helps elevate the current problems that Hong Kong has due to what was set up by the British. So when this eases the structural problems then life will slowly get better.
HK is part of China so they moving to another part of China. That being said. HK government is not realising the gravity of the problem facing it. HK property is the most expensive in the world. No one can afford it.
Very simple…. Make it simple to think to prepare future ahead….. Hong Kong today not Hong Kong yesterday not about opportunity challenge. Life always been challenging all the time….. but not anymore…. You can benefit in the name Hong Kong you are now Chinese so stop dreaming of be called Hong Kongers and set your mindset live your life as Chinese so you no longer to old Hong Kong and learn to enjoy as all one Chinese… don’t try to distinguish yourself as Hong Kongers anymore. Life would be happy…. Think Twice….

Having a monopoly in industry is only desirable for the capitalist because the consumers will be forced to buy products and services from the company, and the consumers have no other choice. The capitalist will collect that as passive income--money that will keep the capitalist's lifestyles afloat. If things are going good for the capitalist, why change? The problem with monopolies is that a monopoly only benefits the sole provider, and the sole provider has too much power over everyone else. It's practically feudalism.

I went to HK first time 12 years ago. It surprised me as many things were so good and never seen, like 许留山. I went to HK again 6 years ago. Then it disappointed me somehow as manythings in Mainland were better than HK.I went to HK and Macau this year the third time. Found almost no change in HK. The life styles of mainland in many ways are better than in HK. I went to a small city, RuiAn , in Zhejiang province last week, I just felt the living conditions of elderlies in RuiAn city are much better than in HK and Macau. I got understood why many elderlies from HK move to Zhongshan, Zhao Qing, Zhuhai, etc for retirement life.
How was Macau compared to Hong kong
Better or worse?

Average mainland chinese living standards are far better than Hong Kong the value for money in 2nd or 3 rd tier chinese cities is even more mind boggling u will get 1 world infrastructure + social services on top of that it's so inexpensive at the same time u can literally compare the commodity prices with 3rd world I, e india
Comparable living standards in 2nd and 3rd tier cities to Hong Kong? Social services? I guess if you enjoy living with people whose brains are still somewhere in 1970s when it comes to manners, and like smelling the uncles smoking like chimneys. You know the average salary in the 3rd tier city?

The biggest problem youngsters are facing these days is the lack of affordable housing. HongKong has land scarcity so it can't be expanded like the cities in Mainland China. I think the city can learn a lot from Singapore on the matters of housing.
If you want pure freedom, you cannot interfere with private property. Therefore, you cannot shake the interests of real estate developers.
Hk is China. Moving from one city to another city in one country is normal isn't it? HK can always attract more expats like Singapore.
HK has different passports. In the US, Hong Kong immigrants face a different immigration queue than the ones from mainland China.
HK has its own immigration with visa requirements.
So, it is not that easy to move from one city to the other. Not to mention, HK drives on the left. Mainland China drives on the right.
@@JingJao only difference in US immigration queue is US citizens and everyone else. Most people don't even drive in HK, let alone have a car, who care is left or right. Plus the requirement working in the greater bay area is pretty relax, all you need is find a job in the mainland.

Whether the West likes it or not, the same phenomena will happen with increasingly more Taiwanese opting to move across into the Mainland as as time goes on, this is where the money will be.
Because the dpp destroyed taiwans economy with corruption,
That's why they heavily supported the riots in Hong Kong and the indoctrination project of the DPP in Taiwan, lately in Taiwan after failing expectations of the propaganda they pushed specially for the families that followed Chinese culture are now pushing a "taiwanese culture" that less Chinese culture..... Of course the west will embrace that and completely try to separate Taiwan from the mainland even though the west don't care about Taiwan but at least hundred of thousands already figured that out and some are even traveling around china to see for themselves that they didn't have immunity against propaganda like the DPP said
Learning to adapt, integrate and keep growing is a vital part of today's survival.
Yea friends from HK will frequently travel over to buy stuff as they are much more cheaper economically
Lets see, if your rent in Newark, NJ is 5x cheaper than a tiny apartment in Manhattan and that "Newark" is full of life and no violent crimes, what would you choose........
Clara's voice is very soothing. Cantonese doesn't sound very soothing to ears but she definitely has a different pitch and tone.
probably influenced by the true Cantonese accent in Guangzhou.
This is a natural cycle.. eg. Hong Kongers are retiring in China, Malaysian retiring on Thailand, South Koreans in Hanoi Vietnam, Singaporeans in malaysia and Indonesia.
This video isn't about retirement though. This video is about young Hong Kong people moving to the mainland.
First I heard Malaysian retire in Thailand. Care to share the numbers?
Is it Mainlanders invading Hong Kong or Hongers invading the Mainland? Around 1997, the narrative was quite different.
it's because Hong Kong isn't Hong Kong so they think ah wtf China's cheaper . let's move there lol
There's something else they are not telling us. The racket is,
1) Earn money and live affordably on the Mainland
2) Save money to speculate in Hong Kong real estate

I have long ago say, if Hong kongers willing to drop their egos, drop to keep comparing, and just cross to even Shenzhen, they get better life quality already than the insane living pressure in HK. I been to HK seen the life there and felt the living pressure. I then been to Guangzhou and Shenzhen where I see spaces, near similar culture but lesss chaotic life pace. Prices are more friendly than HK. Now more and more HK people accepting mainland but still they are very defending HK culture which is good. Actually all are Chinese (Wah yan). Malaysian Chinese here.
Interesting that Singaporean media is honestly doing a better job explaining the Greater Bay Area and what people think compared to the HK govt.
No surprise at all. let alone hongkongers, even me as a tourist didn't want to stay at hongkong. i'd rather stay in Shenzen and travel to hongkong by metro. the metro was cheap, and the hotel room in shenzen was much larger than hongkong's hotel, and cheaper too
I'm not sure why Hongkongers dislike China. The reason why HK was successful is because China was not opened back then and traded with the world through HK. Hongkongers should not be arrogant because HK is successful. HK will not survive on her own without China's backing.
You simply do not bite the hand that feeds you.
Brain washing and western colonial worship.
Lol, HK is more successful but feeds off China ... If you're not a bot, you really should practice some introspection
True
if we can drive our own car to mainland directly without the need of additional permit. More hk people will move to Mainland to live.
But you guys drive on the right😅
is it hard to obtain a mainland permit? I've seen cars with both HK (or Macau) and mainland license plates. But most HKers don't really drive, and HSR is pretty convenient.
Actually HK is not losing our youth to China. The government in HK has been advertising for years for our youth to go to GBA for development with little success. The reality is our elderly are en masse going to GBA. Poor research and the title of the video is loaded with opinions not fact.
The host interviewed in English and these students replied in Cantonese, that says it all, their choice is evidently limited.
Small city go to big country. Thats the future
This kind of Chinese tone is much more pleasant to the ears than northern angry tones.
The salary in Shenzhen actually isnt that far from HK yet cost of living is far lower
Income taxes. Compare the two because you obviously don't get the advantage of low income taxes
Don't know if this a trend, I met mainlanders who take high speed rail each day into HK to work and go back after work.
My dad was in the British Army in the 80s and 90s in HK and their main job was to catch mainland Chinese and send them back to the mainland. How has the tide turned.
Wrong, Mainland China is not arresting or catching HKGers, they actually welcome their brothers and sisters cos they are one. Those were the Colonial days!
China is not attracts youths from Hongkong but also rest of world
This should not be a surprise. HK has been a dying city ever since the British handed it back to China. When you visit HK, that feeling of the lack of energy and the lack of hope is quite palatable.
Because top Chinese talent doesn't need to move to Hong Kong again. They could just buy up the property.
Funny how HK only felt 'alive' when China also started opening, and became 'dying' once HK no longer serves as the window for China to the world. Almost like the heydays of HK had almost nothing to do with the British.
They should do this in the PH too! Lower costs of living in the provinces vs cities
I’ve seen real estate videos of Zhuhai, and they seem really affordable. I wish China will make it easier for foreigners to buy apartments as second homes etc and make it easy for them to get visas. Like the Thailand model.
I live in Australia and I would love to move to China to live and experience this beautiful and ethnically diverse country.
Money talks and bullshit walks. Where there is Job and money , that's where people will go. If at home the youth cannot find jobs and they need to survive , they will have to search for alternatives. Hong Kong is not the same Hong Kong as before. That simple.
Said well. The same is for a small island SG, not the same as before, the good is HK people complain less, whereas the small islanders are complaining and taunting the regime with their demands. More foreigner talents are needed in the place.
When you are young it,s easier to adapt to living in a different place and also more affordable for hong kongers to live and work on the mainland. Hong Kongs lack of land makes property so expensive and they can only expand up that's why there are so many tall buildings.
GZ quality of life is so much better than HK. It’s safer, cleaner, has a bigger network of subways, buses, cab hailing at a much lower costs. Rents are way cheaper , the city is much greener , food variety and costs way less. Things like clothes , groceries, electronics, eating out are also much more affordable. HK has lost its edge. For a 400 sq ft apartment in HK , you can definitely rent a 2000 sq ft apartment in GZ and still costs less. That’s the difference

this is why It is a HUGE advantage for HK to be closer to the mainland. do they think HK can survive without the mainland? use this opportunity to explore the mainland and grab opportunities
The extension of lockdown in HK was the final straw that expediated foreign business exodus out of HK, HK no longer serve its original use to be the capitalist window for foreign companies to do business with China via Hong Kong. This resulted in high unemployment and no job openings as business shifted HQ to Singapore, Tokyo, India, Indonesia, etc. It's inevitable that HKers have to travel upstate or abroad, less about greener pasture but more to survive.
Side note, the popular forums in HK(lihkg & hkgolden) love posting our late MM LKY laughing meme as a reaction to Hong Kong's economic state, since Singapore did nothing and just kept winning.
Hahahah they moved to Shanghai not outside of china. Why should they go Tokyo if they wanna do business in china. Makes no sense and no manufacturer has moved outside of china. They just moved inside china.
LKY was a well read and intelligent leader unlike the midwit Xi who has a degree in marxist theory lmao, not that the current HK thugs in charge are any better though
The whole premise of Hong Kong as an economic hub was artificial and a relic of colonialism. The geography of Hong Kong isn't even conducive to having a large population - there is almost no flat land, everything is reclaimed. It is only for political reasons that HK grew big. But today, foreign countries can just trade directly with Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Tianjin, Ningbo, Hangzhou, etc. HK is just reverting to its norm, which is that the land it sits on is just not very good, it has to adjust to a future as part of the Greater Bay Area to stay relevant. Everybody knows that.
@@pineapplesareyummy6352 Actually HK was strategic. It was part of the Canton area where the trading port was one of the only places decreed by Qing dynasty in 1757 to limit trade with the West. Later they were forced to open other ports Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen etc. British didn't so much as create HK out of thin air, but merely ''set up shop'' in a popular area. Hongkong grew because they were outside communist China (which was economically isolated) then. Yes, they can all trade elsewhere now since China's opening up. But many HongKongers' mindsets still live in the past glorious years.
@@remix-yy1hs Spoke like a guy whose knowledge is still stuck in the 90s. China shifted the entire tech hub from Shanghai to Shenzhen and designated it as China's premier tech city working hand-in-hand with Hong Kong for a reason, what are you even yapping about?

Hong Kong is no Competitor for Singapore.
It depends on how they look at the Greater Bay Area. If they look at it positively, it is a whole new world of possibilities. If they look at it the other way, then it looks like China is taking over everything! The environment will never change to suit us, it's up to us to adapt to it. Many of the success stories are by people who started their quest under the most adverse conditions. "If you can survive calamities, you can survive anywhere" That's why many Asians do very well wherever they go because of adaptability but no so much of Westerners bacause they feel their system is the best and wants to make others be like them. No offense meant but this is the fact of life!
Why HK needs to promote industry when it is already part of the most powerful industry🤣
Just do its jobs and dont make trouble it will be fine.
Hong kong is at the transission mode, im sure it will find its specified position in the greater bay area
My manager is born in HK , but she's working in Guangzhou. At least she can easily afford to buy a house here.
HK is dying. They look down to mainlanders back then and most of them are still day dreaming about their past achievement. Wake Up!
HK salary + Sim Card and living in shenzhen/Guang zhou will be the best options for the HK youths. In the end of the day, although money still talks, Money needs to transform into housing, goods, food and services for one to consume, otherwise it is just a number.
Changing HK to improve your life. HK is too expensive.
rent is lower in mainland, but so is your salary. the best scenario would be to work in HK and live in mainland
Salary is half, but rent is less than a third. So, worth it
i think reality is HK is losing its youth and talents to UK, Canada, Japan, USA, Australia.... Just travel to these places and you will hear cantonese much more these days. In the 80s we were losing our workforce to China as China industrialize within 10 years they learned the trade and many came back as they lost high paying jobs. China also has hundred of thousands universities graduates globally returning home the so call "sea turtles". There is no lack of talent pool in China but seems more lack of opportunities as their universities grads main employment nowadays are didi driver, food delivery and couriers!

you mean hk is losing rioters and yt toe lickers
Great Britain is Small Britain =donkeys
anecdotes and statistics don't match in this case.
I am from Hong Kong have lived in the US and New Zealand, and I also regularly go to Canada because I have relatives there. No, you DON'T hear Cantonese more regularly these days. It used to be almost exclusively Cantonese in Asian food market. In the last 20 years, it has slowly switched from Cantonese to Mandarin. Now, I am hearing Mandarin more often than I hear Cantonese. The only country where you might hear a lot of Cantonese is Japan, because Hong Kong tourists like to go there. I have had people stop me on the street in Osaka and ask my directions in Cantonese (I am still wondering how they figured out I wasn't Japanese). But in English-speaking countries, no, Cantonese is actually becoming much more rare as the Chinese population reflect recent growth from immigration from the Mainland. I have plenty of colleagues at work who are Chinese. Only one speak Cantonese, only because he is married to a Cantonese speaker from Guangdong. Everyone is from the Mainland.
Who needs British to have control of HK even if they still did mainland China is much higher quality life than Europe
HK is not a country per se, so the mainland and HK integration is inevitable, a natural process of the territory unity.

Time change now, most of democracy country people move to live in China. And they even raise their kids over there cos China is most safe and secure country in the top worldwide. While Singaporeian lives in the most unaffordable property and nothing interesting. I can’t wait to see Singapore people move to China soon.
As someone who is from Hong Kong, with relatives who live there, and regularly go back, I can say a difference between HK and the Mainland is that the Mainland government is actually responsive to the People. The CPC has made it a point that the Party works for the People. The CPC doesn't want unrest. They pamper the People well. In HK, the government is NOT responsive to the needs of the People, and everyone perceives it to work for the interests of the rich. We have poor people who live in cages (this has been a thing going back decades. I was born in the British colonial era and there were people living in slums and cages back then). HK government is seen as on the side of property developers and property owners in maintaining prices sky high, out of reach of ordinary people. The Mainland has its own problems too, but as a HKer, I can see that people are better governed on the Mainland.
