Hong Kong exodus: Thousands of professionals set to leave 

You are probably not from HK or never lived in HK.

@@habf1 Born and raised here. It’s just common sense that people don’t risk to move their entry life and family to a completely new place because of COVID measures knowing that their income and earnings will be less. They move because they worry about the political situation here and want their kids to have a more liberal education. Watch many HK youtubers who moved overseas, they seldom talk about COVID measures in HK, rather they were shocked to see how loose COVID measures were in other places

@@lebbeus for local people yes, but for international people in HK...they go where the money is.

@@habf1 well these international people you speak about never care one bit about HK, they never learn our language and they are only here for money. They come and go regardless of policies

Not entirely true. I just took a 50% paycut to leave Shenzhen, and the only reason I left is that the zero covid policy seems endless.

meanwhile the slaves are locked away and they think its good

@@eplmait3409 Oh yeah the poor migrants being exploited in the US or UK. So terrible.👏👏

Be Prepared

Hong Kong is the most expensive and crowded city. It is conducive to the sustainable development of the city for some people to leave. Now the streets are still very crowded

All foreigners are free to leave Hongkong and who are the foreigners that cannot leave that you are implying? You must be one of those white foreigner who love to smear the HK Chinese people. Of course these foreigners will leave as they do not enjoyed the special privileges given to them by the colonial British.

Well all these people have a right to migrate into these occupied lands(through colonialism) unlike poor people they always face atrocities and abuses while on their way crossing another country.

Not now for sure

I think its good news too, Hong Kong is losing its special status and Singapore is thriving because of it, 3 years time Hong Kong will be another Chinese city which is exactly what the Mainlanders want

They all are though!

@@Ex.zed. Show proof!

@@Ex.zed. Evidence lol?

I am now a lead engineer in the Uk. Many skillful with hands-on experience professionals are leaving/have already left from HongKong.

@@Kc-nn8mn Excellent! Happy to know that you are doing well!

You sound stupid. They are not responsible for what’s going on their. Once again the old the white man is the enemy argument and that all white peoples are colonizers 😒😒🙄🙄

didn't know hundreds of thousands of chinese were colonialists lol. check your racism at the door.

@@aintnoslice3422 Yet the video focuses solely on the white family 😂. And I’m not going to shed any tears for colonial collaborators either

@@elchapojunior3091 me too

just because a foreigner lives in a postcolonial city doesn't mean he's a colonist. Some of my friends you deem as "colonists" are professionals, undergrads, and professors living in hong kong, providing humanitarian support and much-needed research. They love hong kong, they don't even want to leave, but they all agree that hong kong is becoming a volatile place and are concerned about the future of hong kongers, NOT themselves.

Soaring home prices are never because of high population only, its often times has more to do w housing policies.. If the HKers leaving are the talented n highly skilled, thats the greater lost, thats difficult to replace..

Doesn't work like that, sure there will be more empty houses left by skilled professionals. Which is likely to be privately owned, not the government. Therefore is going to cost a lot and in no way easier without a decent deposit. The poor will always be poor

@@JL-yk6wn most leave because they have a means to, with dual passport since they are born before 1997 and have it.. but as years go by the number of citizens with it is lesser, anyway as long as you are in HK and focus on working and making money you are fine, but if you want to fight for your voice of freedom and be heard and have your rights and liberty, its not the place for you.. but if you just live there, get a job, make money, live ur life, and have a family.. and stay off politics.. I think it's still liveable... though it's a high stress environment for study and work also.

@@RedHanded1969 Highly skilled lol. These people are easily replaced because universities have new graduates every year. Makes it easier for them to find jobs. China has been finishing first in math and physics Olympiad recently.

Its better to leave i want go back to hk, i really don t care 2047 i want happy live in hk

Not in every countries u got a citizenship authomatically if u was born there, like in china one.

Lololol next joke 🤣

@@nilnil8072 Clearly you have no idea, Hong Kong was the leading financial centre in Asia and London is a financial and services hub, plenty business / financial sector jobs here. and the Hong Kong Passport makes it easier

Yes everyone is so happy with less freedoms, justeans they never have to think for themselves. Just ask China what they want them to do.

Fact

Lots of young and brightest students from ASEAN countries studying and working in Hong Kong though.

Research the 99 year treaty and Hong Kong was under UK rule it is common for them to speak English and have a democracy

@@zzulm I know about the treaty. It still doesn't change the fact that Hong Kong is part of China. Who's gonna stop them, the UK?

They want a democracy and more human rights than they have in the mainland they want independence like any other country that has seek independence.

Abramovich and other Russians say "Hi". They invested so much in England, and lost almost everything.

LOL your comment made me laugh out loud. Just you wait til ya try and bring Fido with yaaaaaaz lol

I managed to export my dog from HK to Aus and it was pretty easy. The only part that was somewhat difficult was waiting for a cargo spot on a plane.

Why will the UK be tougher? UK has immigrants who make it that are not highly educated or on arrival have a good knowledge of english. Just a willingness to work.

@@Andy-P It takes years, sometimes 10-20 years to make it. I am not saying it's impossible, but it def is much harder to start new ANYWHERE.

@@heic1971 Agreed. Then as the program eludes to it isn't the economic that is the key deciding factor.

@@Andy-P Yes and no, it's def better if you start young, while you're still in school. I have family members that emigrated to US (from Hong Kong) for 45 years still don't speak the language and doing minimal wage jobs. While others are doing better (learn English on their own), knowing the language (educated) is really the key. There are much less success stories than you think.

If you think Hong Kong'ss English speakers can speak proper English, then you are wrong.

Who cares!

@@kess8610 How nice of you you little dimwit. Another totalitarian supporter.

@@kess8610 Yes ! who cares!communists does!

White privilege is disappearing, which is not that bad

Wow…… just wow. I can not speak for the people of Hong Kong but their voices are loud and clear, this isn’t the path they’ve chosen. It’s not China’s or the West’s job to rule Hong Kong, it should only be Hong Kong’s

In 2015 a referendum took place in Scotland where majority of Scots voted to remain in the Union, nothing like this happened in Hong Kong🇭🇰 and Macau 🇲🇴. I believe u should get ur facts correct, most of the economic development in Hong Kong took place during the British rule. In 1997, when Hong Kong was ceded to China, it contributed equivalent of 27% of China's economy. Instead the GDP double thing was reverse, where the Chinese benefitted from Hongkong. Whole city of Shenzhen was just a fishing village before HK was given to China.

@@Abhinav_Sengupta yeah, can I tell you one thing UK also make tons of money, not only china benefitted, UK made more for generation, this also called advantages and exploitation both. e.g cheap Labour and more profit. that's what the people see now a days. so don't get me wrong, in UK not many people are interested in politics, so whoever the politician running your constituency just merely couple of hundred or thousand people vote for them. but if you look overall not many are interested in politics. only in Asia people are interested in politics.

@@XXXX-ht7im Source?

@@Abhinav_Sengupta I was in hong kong for long time, so I know system

Hong Kong was always Chinese , why do you think the British handed it over? If you don’t like it then don’t live there. Simple as that , besides Hong Kong is over crowded as is the small exodus won’t change much.

Hong Kong cannot be invaded when it’s a part of China your people stole

this is 2022. no one coming back. the advantage is over

Anglo-Saxons do lies all the time, smear campaign.

You're lying also. Remember kids all humans lie

You make some fair points. Years past the options for good quality of life was slim in Asia but now there are lots of better places to go

Then the population wouldn't be decreasing than?

@@Andy-P decreasing by how much? It takes for new immigration. People act like a huge chunk of Hong Kong is leaving when in reality it’s what like less then 2 percent?

@@joshuabonilla3491 So decreasing by 2% or less per year? Then as you say not so much.

Yes and if you are from KL /Ipoh there is a good chance that living in HK will not be too much of a shock if you speak Cantonese

@@joshuabonilla3491 it’s more like 5% of the population per year

I smell racism, what about african?

Open boarders for hkers

They may be included by western .

Don't forget that during the 99 years of British rule why didn't they sort out the problems. Instead it ingrained into the Hong Kongers the system of horrible housing. Had the British done what Singapore government did for its public housing, there won't be the terrible housing problems. The Western media even got the cheek to say they live in cages. It's going to take many more years for China to untangle the problems created. The last 25 years were manipulated by the British and American to create chaos. China then didn't have the resources and expertise to solve the problem. But now they have. For those who haven't stepped foot into China and only rely on Western media for biaised news about China should visit China to see what has changed. Actually the reverse has happened. The West has become like communist where most people are poor except for some rich people where China has turned into something so much better than democracy. That's why the West is trying so hard to defend their 'superior' democracy that is crumbling. They have tried so hard to contain China for the last 40years. Instead of China being contained, the reverse has happened. Remember that China is not ruled by weak emperors but by the best of 1.4 billion people. Very unlikely they will go wrong. Remember that 99% of the China population back its leaders.

Once you give a group of people a taste for freedom you cant just take it back off them and expect everyone to fall in line. Id rather have that taste of freedom for 100 or so years than live the life of peacefull slavery and obedience, never being able to critisize or question authority in the pursuit of a better life. The furture of HK is just that, one of strict obedience and no questioning of authority, its a system that will only serve the ones in power. Authoritrianism will only lead the world into more misery and a greater divide of rich and poor. More freedom = more prosperity for avarage people and more happyness and less crime and corruption.

D413373R That's a fallacy based on mistaken belief freedom equate more prosperity. Who is fighting for the working poor where 7 out of 10 in the US populations are living from paycheck to paycheck and the inability to pay for living expenses due to the loss of income or inability to budget. The Pew Research Center found that 85 percent of Chinese people in 2013 were satisfied with their government, while only 35 percent of Americans felt the same about their government. In May 2020, a University of California survey found that 88 percent of Chinese people preferred their country’s political system. A study jointly published by the Ash Center for Democratic Governance and Innovation at Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government showed that Chinese people’s satisfaction with the central government rose from 86.1 percent in 2003 to 93.1 percent in 2016. It is important what the Chinese think about China and their own government and not what US think as it affects their lives. And what is so wrong about a communist system? It is a philosophical, social, political, and economic ideology and movement whose goal is the establishment of a communist society, namely a socioeconomic order structured upon the ideas of common ownership of property and the absence of social classes. The US always arrogantly proclaimed that they are a democratic country where the people as a majority rule and the highest power is held by the people and the idea that all people are socially equal. The US views other system with repugnance when compare to theirs. The US has been renouncing other political system like Socialism or Communism with abhorrence. Their repugnance are based on the premise that communism is a one party state and with. a system where all property is public and people work and are given things by the government. But what exactly did the US do beside having the theory that their democracy is good and the communism and socialism is bad? In practice, the US is a morally corrupt and an abhorrent countries that victimized its indigenous native Indian Americans by white, the subjugation and oppression of the black Americans and institutional prejudice and bias attitude towards the minorities. Certainly, other countries do not want the cultural genocide and discrimination practice by the US government against the native American Indians. The United States federal law that governs jurisdiction over the removal of Native American (Indian) children from their families in custody, foster care and adoption cases. In 1891, a compulsory attendance law enabled federal officers to forcibly take Native American children from their homes and reservations. During the same era in which thousands of children were sent away, the US encroached on tribal lands through war, broken treaties, and new policies.I do not think the people signed up for democracy in order to be abuses by the US government and their institutional bias towards the minorities. Where is the human rights! If the US believes their democracy is the best form of government that works well for its people, so be it. Majority rule always end up discriminating the minority. The US is not a democratic country but a tyrannical and oppressive plutocratic country. Whatever system the US evolve and gradually develop in is the US prerogative. No other countries would like to question the value of US democracy for fear of repercussion from the US. Lets other countries have their own form and system of government based on their own value and political cultures. There are many shades of government advancing many different political models that integrate religious values, religious identity, and politics.

@@paultsjan6047 @paul tsjan 85% of people in china were scared of giving an oposing veiw. Statistics dont mean anything, same with all the other statistics you stated. Im no fan of democracy either actually the 2 party system is deeply flawed. Along with democracy in general and i also agreed with many of ur points on the USA. Land of the free and home of the brave is a good joke. So do you belive people should have a say in who governs them or no? What happens when a pol pot or chairman mow character come along? China has also had many atrocities preformed by its goverment onto its people the great leap forward, Tienemen Square etc. The people have no rights in China either.

@@D413373R Your parochial mindset focus on a small sections of an issue rather than considering its wider context. What Pol Pot did in Cambodia was no different from what the victimization of its indigenous native Indian Americans by white, the subjugation and oppression of the black Americans and institutional prejudice and bias attitude towards the minorities. What Canada did was genocide to the Indigenous peoples. Canada continues to struggle to address longstanding human rights challenges, including wide-ranging abuses and decades of structural and systemic discrimination against Indigenous people in Canada. While Canada officially removed its objector status to the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) in 2016 and vowed to implement UNDRIP in accordance with the Canadian Constitution, a private member’s bill to ensure that Canadian laws are in harmony with UNDRIP failed to pass in the Senate in June last year. Democracy is just a buzzword with slogan like land of the free and home of the brave in the US as you rightly described, so be it. Atrocities in the past and in the present still remains the same. China will choose its own path based on its cultural norms. Lets other countries have their own form and system of government based on their own value and political cultures. There are many shades of government advancing many different political models that integrate religious values, religious identity, and politics.

​@@Grubbygund Not sure which country you are referring to. However, I have one in mind. HINTs - This country is despotical beyond all imaginations and yet it prides itself as the lighthouse of democracy. It has meddled in numerous foreign elections, civil unrests (including the 2019 HK riots), regime changes and military conflicts (for instance, in its 20 years of war against terrorism, it has caused a million deaths, including 0.4 million civilians. At the same time, some 38 million people primarily in Afghanistan, Libya, Iraq, Syria, and Yemen were displaced). It is in the process of extraditing Assange, where in its court Assange can face a 175-year prison sentence on the purported crime is 'facilitating the release of documentary evidence of war crimes committed by this country in the Middle East, treatment of prisoners in the Guantanamo prison, the use of its intelligence units to hack into commercial enterprises for espionage purpose'. Plus, various western reports also exposed a plot of CIA to kidnap and assassinate Assange during his stay in the Ecuadorian Embassy. It has assassinated foreign subjects, including scientists, political leaders and generals of foreign countries it deems as adversaries (for instance, Qasem Soleimani of Iran). This is not merely a blatant oppression of freedom of press and personal freedom, but also outright terrorism and barbarism.
