What talented young girls! And what a wonderful, caring school.

Hong Kong Students are loveable

[@Locutus]

I'm impressed by the singing talent of the girls. They were amazing.

[@sophieslife8115]

the hong kong students are so lucky to go to the same school as each other, i feel happy for them that they got into a nice school with teachers who care and students that come from hgong kong like them, i hope hong kongs situation gets better but i dont know, i moved to france in 2022, i'm really happy here but i also wish i could see more people from hong kong here.

Reporter is afraid to ask the hard questions like: how are they dealing with Racism and discrimination, their parent's lack of job opportunities, living conditions, integrating into society, etc

@@poopermoodieisgay2131 why would there be if u went to the school you’d realise that the people who presumably would be racist to the international students aren’t and are actually in some cases friends with them, it’s the same with students that come here from Afghanistan

[@molliecomerford]

I go this school theres no racism towards them

[@lecturesfromleeds614]

Discrimination in the UK is usually towards brown people (Specifically Muslims) Chinese/Hong Kong migrants are generally seen in a positive light, and weirdly enough they have a lot of right wing supporters (Unlike pretty much every other racial groups)

[@dawnnadir]

OMG...the school set up and style are pretty much the same as Hong Kong.

[@Locutus]

[@Worldwithoutboarders]

Why go to Manchester apart from the cheap homes!

[@samscholes9727]

because its a great place?

[@jl2405]

The majority of them are coming over for the free state and grammar schools. Truth is they are not coming over due to the political situation, it’s in their DNA to have an overseas education and to have dual citizenship. Most will return back to HK once they have their British Passports.

[@jamesfung3347]

You are probably correct, But This is not like 1997,I am afraid there will not be a Hong Kong that will worth to return to.

[@Ustp27]

How would you know? The parents literally gave up their careers, most of them being middle class professionals for blue collar jobs, you think they're doing that so their children can take advantage of the school system here? None of them want their children to be silent by fear. That's why they are here.

[@jl2405]

Ustp27 I think it’s most likely the parents are naive and have a misconception that kids who attend any Western style state schools in the UK must receive the same standard of education as those that attend International Schools in HK. Unless the kids are smart enough to get a place in a grammar school or have parents who can afford to pay for them to attend private schools then the majority of them will probably not do that well. Kind of ironic that all the government ministers and Prime Ministers attended either private schools or grammar ones. Just to name a few, David Cameron, Boris Johnson, Jeremy Hunt, Michael Gove, Rushi Sunak, Winston Churchill were all privately educated.

[@jl2405]

The same can be said for the expats who have been headhunted to work in HK. They come from an elite group.

[@MeiinUK]

@@jl2405 : There isn't such a thing as a dual citizenship. Cos China does not recognise dual nationality. That is already a given. If they do enter HK.. they have to enter with a British passport.. and even then.... By the time they are done in the UK.. I think HK would have closed the door already. HK really kind of messed up with their immigration part really. And that, is also why today.. it is more or less an actual crashed state. A bankrupted city as well. An unstable... city. By now, you kind of expected the people to literally actually raise itself back up.. and have an actual... taxation system in place. But funnily enough, so many people still play this trading game. I don't know why. They need to stop !
