Hong Kong Migration

[ishtat]

After the recent clamp down on any forms of dissent in HK by China, the UK government has said it would welcome up to 300,000 migrants from HK. The HK population of about 7.5 million is highly educated with many marketable skills that China will not want to lose.

In addition to UK, Taiwan, Australia, Singapore and Canada (I think) have all indicated a desire to attract skilled Hong Kongers. The highly skilled pool available is estimated to be 1.2 to 1.5 million.

Do you think that your country either would or should try to recruit these skilled people on the basis that smart achieving people tend to create further jobs in their wake?

Why would anyone immigrate to this racist, horrible nation?

Welcome aboard. China is Satan. Leave ASAP

Wonder how many will be Chinese agents using the various offers of sanctuary as a way to penetrate Taiwan, Australia, or the west.

I can't believe anyone would be fleeing all that WONDERFUL progress!!!

The wealth inequity and income disparity in HK has been a tragedy for far too long as it is.

It's about time some progress was made and China is bringing that progress to them, they need to embrace it like western progressives.

A shitload.

ANYONE who lived in Hong Kong prior to the current "hostile takeover" being conducted by China and who didn't apply for immigration/asylum at the first sign of the shit hitting the fan there is a fucking idiot.

China doesn't allow freedom even under treaties it negotiates and signs. The current situation isn't going to get any better and the HK we know today is a thing of the past.

But all the progress!!!

HK's salvation has arrived, China is there to progress them out of all that income inequality and ensure more equitable outcomes for everyone.

They are about to realize the progressive utopia comrade.

The progressive utopia is at hand comrade....HK's salvation has arrived.

The CCP will turn it into a failure in short order.

Would they have to? There are loads of chinese ppl officially living in the west already.

Probably do a better job than the Democrats though.

It'll merge with Shenzhen. And Shenzhen is weird. Not exacty a failure, but incompatible with HK in so many ways.

Just talking businees wise. It is of course a failure in democracy and human rights. Since it's, you know, China.

 

[Ziggins]

Hong Kong is one of many Asian megacities that will be under the rising sea. As a rising empire, China can afford to do something about that, but overpopulation guarantees some will be left behind. Governments everywhere may barricade some huddled masses in drowning cities, or put them on ships and tell them to get lost.

But they are so PROGRESSIVE!!

How could it be a failure in either area??

Isn't the greater good the most important thing anyhow?

 

[Liar]

But they are so PROGRESSIVE!!

Dafuq you on about?

As long as Trump is president, they'd have to say they were Norwegians--but, yes, if they were willing to claim that.

 

[hogjack]

As long as Trump is president...

KeithD has mentioned Donald Trump over 1,035 times in 120 days.

Someone's got a bit of a crush. Cute!
