Actually, aside from spreading awareness of what's happening in my area, I would like to hear about what problems you have got in your countries too.
----------------------------------------------
Here's mine:
I guess some of you probably have clicked into my signature picture by now, and the fact is, we have been suffering so much that I think it's time to spread some awareness of what exactly is going on, in this part of the world.
Please bear in mind that it's difficult for me to hold my anger, so that the language could be a bit strong and may sound hateful.
Point 1: According to the Sino-British joint, which UK and China signed, China is not meant to interfere with the politics of Hong Kong.
Did they keep this promise? No.
Apparently, they have full control of which person becomes Hong Kong's chief executive. (Sort of like the president of Hong Kong.)
They have full control of who gets to be in which position in each government department.
This is, apparently, violation against the treaty and UN laws.
No other countries had been speaking of it apart from Great Britain.
In which, China usually answers that Great Britain should not interfere with their politics.
Point 2: So what happens if the people in the government are elected by them?
Obviously, they can change our policies and laws in a forced manner.
---a) They now allow "tourists" from China to cross our borders without applying VISA. Anyone can come, including (i) pregnant women, (ii) re-sellers who exploit our resources.
(i) Pregnant women like to come to lay their off springs. The reason is simple-- any baby born in Hong Kong whom is ethnically Chinese automatically receives Hong Kong citizenship-- there is no screening of the quality of the parents. (Unlike Canada and most other countries, they have a choice of denying citizenship even if the baby was born in their territory.)
(ii) Re-sellers come to Hong Kong to exploit items such as powdered milk, and other grocery items, to the point that Hongkonger mothers can not buy powdered milk for their own babies. They come in huge swarms, create traffic jams, and occupy our streets and stuff our public transport areas with their boxes. Our trains become very crammed this way.
Although the government now sets a limit that each individual could only take 2 cans of milk powder per trip, they rarely reinforce it because these re-sellers tend to be violent.
There are many incidences that these re-sellers injured staff members.
(iii) Some Chinese people cross the border for sex related jobs.
(iv) Some Chinese people cross the border for kidnapping kids to obtain organs for sale.
Yes, organs such as kidneys and liver, and even eyes. This is not a joke.
Of course, crime rates had also significantly increased.
---b) Any man whom is married with a Chinese wife, can apply citizenship for the wife and its children.
They usually are not well educated. They teach their off springs to use violence whenever things are not to their favour, because they know that Hongkongers are very scared of physical violence.
Fake marriages also happen frequently.
There are many cases in which Chinese women pretend to love their Hong Kong husbands very much, but turned against him after getting the citizenship. The reason is obvious. There was no love to start with. They only want the citizenship.
These women then apply for social welfare and public housing. Whilst people who are really in need have difficulty receiving welfare from the government. The whole situation had been suspicious from the very beginning.
---c) Previously, only people who had lived in Hong Kong for more than 7 years may apply for social welfare. Now this is no longer the case.
This happened recently due to the wording in one of our laws. It was not properly defined.
Back in 1997 when they proposed the laws, people tried to stop them because the laws were not properly defined and had a lot of loop holes. Yet they forced us to have the laws.
Now nightmare begins. Shortly after the announcement, applications for social welfare and public housing skyrocketed.
---d) People who are not ethnically Chinese are not allowed to work in government departments.
(Note difference between nationality and ethnicity. 97% Hong Kong citizens are still ethnically Chinese, but the "Chinese" previously mentioned refers to nationality.)
Many high ranked civil servants whom were ethnically Indian or Pakistani were being kicked out.
This includes the fact that they had lost their pensions.
Also, many became jobless. Luckier ones become security guards, but are still very low paid compared to what they used to have.
Many people who are ethnically English were even forced out of the territory. Many of them currently reside in Australia.
---e) We are forced to buy (dirty and polluted) drinking water from China.
Our water costs 266 times more than what Singapore pays Malaysia for water.
We have no other source of water.
The government lies to us every single day that desalination of drinking water is expensive, etc.
However, according to Singapore, it isn't. In fact, much cheaper.
There are many people who showed us photos of dead animals, algal bloom of the river where the source of our water is from.
Chinese people on the internet like to tell us "Without China, Hong Kong doesn't even have drinking water."
---f) Housing prices in Hong Kong is ridiculous. It surpassed London once in recent years.
The reason? Because Chinese people can buy our properties and then not live in it.
They merely buy it for investment because it's likely to go up.
When they buy, they buy the whole floor, and even the whole block, and then leave it empty.
We urged our government to sort it out, but the government's decision was not significant.
There is currently no way for any working class individual to afford housing.
--------------------
You might ask, how come we aren't planning for immigration?
Well, we lived here. This is our homeland. We are emotionally attached to this piece of land.
