Sign up with Google Sign up with FacebookQ: Is Hong Kong better off or worse off after 15 years of Chinese control?
I asked one of my friends today about that, he has lived in HK with his family since 1992. Told me that for the most part, it has not really changed much.
according to the newspaper, 400,000 people joined the rally to redress their grievances today....i think the hk govt's inept handling of some important political social and economic issues has been putting hk on the edge.....and the lack of seasoned politicians like our former governor Chris Patten is another reason to blame. In retrospect, i was proud of hk under the leadership of british elites. After China's resumption of the sovereignty, hk has been governed by a group of mentally retarded.
i believe there are still many talents out there, but they wouldnt like to serve in the government to make a brighter future for hk.....
All I know from CCTV is that they are so glad to be back as a part of it... i know its true because that last time I was there
"What would you like" he
"I will have the noodle salad" me
"where are you from?" he
"The US but I live in China" me
"I ****ing hate china" he
"fair enough"...... was a damn good lunch btw
I saw on CCTV that Hong Kong and its people have greatly prospered and are very happy since returning to China rule. And their fondest wish is to do away with the One Government Two Systems rule and return to the true values of Mother China's wisdom. Only the greedy concerns of outside influences prevent this wish from being carried out and Hong Kongers are patiently waiting for the day Mother China removes the foreign filth from their streets and they can cast down the shackles of the modern consumerism that has been forced upon them by western slime.
And you know that if it is on Chinese TV, it must be true.

Greetings Xpat John,
"And you................be true." Oh yes, ABSOLUTELY!!! CCTV..the puppet of the CCP is always right!!!!!! lol lol lol ^^
From what I've read, DEFINITELY worse!!!!! I constantly read about protests and grievances that the people of Hong Kong have with the so-called leadership.
"mentally retarded" indeed!!
All the times I have been to HK it is the same it practically was before the hand over a ablight a few minor differences but in all the same. The big question is what will it be like in 2047 when the 50years is over for HK and what changes will be seen will it combine to make a mega city with Shenzhen? Will it be apart of Guangdong or still be a SAR?
for the economy, definitely YES.....
for the general public, YES if you are one of those taking RMB.
