Studying, working or living in Hong Kong was once an impossible dream for many mainlanders, but now it seems to some more of a nightmare.
With Mainland-Hong Kong tensions heightening in recent years, discrimination against mainlanders has become a serious problem. A recent survey found that 18 per cent of mainland expatriates in Hong Kong have faced discrimination because of their PRC background and identity, and discrimination has become one of the main reasons why they want to leave Hong Kong.
Mainlanders are also discouraged from staying in Hong Kong because of the city’s unsatisfactory living environments and feel that there are better opportunities and prospects back home in the mainland.
