My father escaped from China when he was 13 years old by himself. He foresees HK eventually will fall into Communist’s hands. That was in the 70s. All my brothers and sisters immigranted to the UK and Canada. We are doing very well. I moved to Vancouver in 1973 with only $200 and I made it. Now I am retired after 32 years working at Gate Gourmet airliner catering as a chef. My eldest daughter is a radiologist and my youngest daughter is a taxation lawyer. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I still lived in HK without finishing high school. Now I live comfortably without worrying about my financial situation. I receive a good pension from the government and a company pension. My father told us not to trust communists.
The quality of the people who immigrate in UK is different than who seek refugee status in USA. Look at the crime rate shooting at height in California than in London.
