Half Hong Kong residents faring worse than pre-1997: survey

More than half of the Hong Kong residents who responded to a recent survey said their quality of life is worse than prior to 1997, when Hong Kong reverted to Chinese rule, according to the poll results released by the Chinese University of Hong Kong Tuesday.

In the survey of 878 Hong Kong citizens aged 18 or older, 52.1 percent of the respondents said their lives are worse than before 1997, while only 17.5 percent said their lives have improved.

The results show that 57.9 percent of the respondents said Hong Kong's economy is worse than when the British ruled Hong Kong as a colony, while 18.3 percent said the economy is better than before.

On the issue of government service, 66.2 percent of those polled said it is worse now than the pre-1997 era and only 10.1 percent said it is better.

Whopping 2/3 of respondents carry an identity of Hong Kong-ese separate from Chinese.

India experienced her golden age under British rule. India should be returned to the British.

The article said the economy is worse, but how is it worse? The economy of Hong Kong enjoys a GDP of $45,000 -- the highest it has ever been. I seriously doubt the credibility of this survey.

India was best 2,300 years ago "Gupta/Maurya Empire" and you were worst under Japanese in 40's and even today things are bad with 0 Freedom. Allow Free Media, then we will see. Till, Then China is not comparable. Talk only as per topic. Don't you get tired talking such crap since morning ??

The article said the economy is worse, but how is it worse? The economy of Hong Kong enjoys a GDP of $45,000 (the GDP of the UK is only $35,000 while India's GPD is about $3,000) -- the highest it has ever been. I seriously doubt the credibility of this survey. Simply another fake anti-China article that Indians like yourself masturbate to.

Try coming to Hong Kong and saying that.

The Hong Kong population is 95% Han Chinese.

Hongkonger is racist, ask the Indian people living there... and the media (eg. apple daily) there is generous toward white government officer when they made mistake compare to local yellow officer... and the local students (boy) go after white female exchange students in collage...

See the video. it explain everything. India was best 2300 to 1000 years ago. Good before and after British.

Someone said, Sanghai GDP is 40,000 $......so that means rest of China GDP is 500-1,000 $ only ??. That explains everything.

Anyway, This is from BBC News and not Indian.

Japanese is better for you ??

where did you get that figure shanghai GDP is 40000? gosh this show how much credible your arguement is

GDP cant tell everything, actually, it is harder time for worker nowadays, more effort to find a job, lower salary compare to pre-1997, on the other hand, for the business owner, yes, they make more money nowadays. the condition of worker is not about political, only due to economic circle, between moving from developing status to developed status, there are always unbelievable prosperous, everyone would miss those days, enjoying free lunch.

In fact, the GDP per capita of Hong Kong, is THIRTY times higher than that of India.

One Hong Kong person, produces more output than 30 Indians.

So it's a bit rich for Indians to be concerned about us, everyone knows how India fares in terms of poverty.

Why you are comparing with India ?? India is not a developed country. We never said our GDP is like developed country. Even, I am not sure, That would be possible even in 20-30 years.

Someone said Sanghai GDP is 40,000 $ that means Rest of the China GDP is 500 $ ??

 

[Galaxy]

Let me make it clear, Our GDP will not be 40,000 $ even in 50 years. What's point ?? We never claim nor we have capability. If China can make 40,000 $ Per capita - Then good luck.

We are developing country with further improvement in economy. Our Standard of Living in improving but I can't compare with Like London or San Francisco. Simple to understand!!

I quote Indian sources that report on Naxalism. If you can find a Hong Kong, or simply a Chinese source (not a Western, BBC one) reporting this, then that is acceptable. Fine, no more comments on India from me on this thread.

Free Media is banned in China, So no Possibilities. India-Pakistan Media is Free and more active for Negative news.

You changing your stand as per Situation.
