<Best arrive in HK>? Why would anyone want to move to Hong Kong permanently unless they were forced to for business purposes? Even I wouldn't want to experience the totalitarianism of China's government. That's not freedom to me and I am very liberal, some would say a Democratic socialist.

I only mention this because I have literally spoken to thousands of Cantonese in NYC and they all cited the Chinese government take over as the reason they moved out of Hong Kong. And I wouldn't argue with them then and I certainly cannot argue with them now.

Freedom is a good reason to move to another country.

As for the Cantonese designation, it was meant to apply to all citizens of Hong Kong and Guangzhou.

At this point, I am sure there are lots of people who use to live in Mainland China who now live in Hong Kong. And I am sure some are communist sympathizers and quite tolerant and forgiving of China's rule.

All I am saying is that the free-spirited Cantonese with $$$ left a long time ago because they knew the Chinese take over would not suit their lifestyle and values.
