    We’re still pretty early, a decade now, with their efforts to eliminate the Hong Kong culture here. Might not be looking like it’s taking a foothold but we’re not even a generation into this and it does seem they’re really focusing on the next generation.

    I mean HK is still losing people emigration, heck half my family has moved since the take over, and it seems that people are still leaving at a pretty good click and that exidous will only make things easier for them to get the language.

    I don’t know, I’m still an outsider looking in but all the things I see and hear doesn’t point to a great conclusion, though I hope I’m wrong since it’s like to visit again someday and hear and speak Cantonese.

      They are focusing on the next generation, you can see in the museum they rewrote the history and they bring all the school children there

      Cantonese is already difficult to learn without being immersed so they are just so happy about the loss of language

      Many people have left HK, so far the only people I know who are left there are people who have to stay because they work in business, everyone else emigrated to the UK or North America
