China Hong Kong SAR: News and Images

Being a pakistani living in Hong Kong since childhood. My opinion is that HK government should not let them asylum seeker to cross border from China. These people have spoiled the reputation of pakistanis in hong kong. [emoji35]
HKSAR citizens irregard of their cultural background or ethnicity, most of them are law abiding. Many minority groups also serve in law enforcement (see below) and contribute to HK like any other citizen does. HK society should protect civil rights of all citizens, punish law offenders but without stereotyping any specific group.

About foreigners, it's a separate issue. HK as a business hub should welcome anyone to stay as travelers, workers (with proper permit, HK suffers a shortage of labor in many lines of work), students or any other legit purposes. About taking in political refugees or asylum seekers, HK being a wealthy society, allocating some of its record breaking fiscal surpluses (+3.1% of GDP 2015, 12th highest in the world) for global humanitarian purpose is a noble act. But HK should face the fact that though this policy has benevolent intention, but it is often being abused in execution, I suggest loopholes in the execution must be amended.

 
why the hell are these indians wanting asylum in HK, i thought India was a super power and its people didn't want to leave such an amazing democratic country like India.

Indians bringing their rubbish culture everywhere, these asylum seekers should be sent back to India in the hell hole they belong.

Overall a bad idea. HK is already overcrowded. While allocating budget for humanitarian purpose is a noble idea, one doesn't necessarily have to take in refugees and asylum seekers.

Being part of the UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) led international effort to help political refugees, asylum seekers or torture claimants, Hong Kong is providing manpower and financial resources to help, but you are right that Hong Kong is already an overcrowded space. The problem is complicated.
  • Porous border: Being a regional transportation hub with long coastlines, difficult to stop influx of migrants. Routing via Guangdong is another difficulty since Hong Kong and Guangdong have different visa policies.
  • Lack of hardware: In the 1970's, Hong Kong has purposely built, semi-quarantined and well managed refugee camps, but nowadays those facilities were already demolished, refugees are given financial aid to find their own residence among local populace. If they cannot integrate and get steady jobs, social problems like crime will arise.
  • Social sympathy: Hong Kong society (lawmakers, media, NGO, general public) in general is sympathetic towards legit refugees, and that Hong Kong's judicial system is very slow in reviewing policy loopholes where economic migrant may abuse the asylum (torture claim) status.
  • No exit valve: Difficulty to repatriate them to third countries like Australia or Canada who are tightening screening mechanism, let alone others who even shut their doors. UNHCR is stretched in resources, cannot help nor efficiently coordinate international efforts. Costs should be split between Hong Kong and UN, but from 1970's till nowadays, UN still owe Hong Kong loan amounted to HKD1.61 billion.
 
Recently the HK police just arrested a Vietnamese axe robber who robbed three 7-11 stores in a week, which is sad that he is also a "asylum seeker". Our laws is too loose for them to exploit our kindness. Just saying, not all asylum seekers are bad, some are hard working and willing to do work that no HK people want to do. But this is also a fact that the crime rate is raising due to the increased number of the asylum seekers.
I think you HK liberal government is going to get bit ten in the *** in the future. Europe, already having issues with asylum seekers. You guys are asking for trouble.

We signed this asylum treaty way before 1997, this was never our will to do it but by the Brits using our money. Beside the humanitarian reason, there are many voices in HK support to leave this treaty but our "liberal" Final Court and counsellors are strongly against it. This all start in 2004 by our Court decision to allow them (South Asian) to come in. Not to mention, there was a time when the HK government was about to deport those fake asylum seekers who are disqualified for the application , our "liberal" counsellors call for a court review to delay the deportation, since it will take at least a few years to finalize the decision. What I want to say is that was never our government fault, but a particular faction that wants to cause conflicts and instability in my city. Just like the Yellow umbrella movement in 2014.
 
Double faced people they will argue with you all day about the greatness of INDIA but when they get chance they will run away from that greatness hole. just look at the recent HB1 visa of US how indians are so worried about it. Australia NZ HK Indonesia malaysia N America all flooded by Asylum seekers.

The H1B visa is temporary work permit for IT and related field workforce in India.

It is not a permanent settlement programme. Since IT exports are high from India in services sector, this will have an impact.

Don't speak about a situation if you don't know why.

It shows the desperation of indian to Leave india. Even temporary work permit is precious to Indians. 20% in HK asylum seeks are Indians.
