There are tons of 1st world type of cities in Asia - KL, Bangkok, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Taipei, Seoul, Busan, Osaka, Nagoya, Tokyo, Yokohama, Beijing etc. Asia is developed and rich asf.

[@Mel_Gerrard]

7-year British resident of HK here. One thing is for sure, both HK and SG are ahead of the crumbling west. In HK, we pay some of the lowest income tax in the world, have access to good and affordable healthcare, benefit from world-class infrastructure, have easy access to the great outdoors (nice beaches, forests, mountains, hiking a few minutes from the city), it's international so you encounter people and foods from all corners of the world, and it's within easy reach of great cities like Shanghai, Tokyo, Seoul, etc. The western media and certain western governments have been conducting a brutal smear campaign against China (and by extent, Hong Kong) since 2018, but the reality is that it's a world-class city and a hugely important financial hub that will play a critical role in Asia and the GBA for decades to come.

The thing is, Hong Kong was a world class city before the Chinese took over and enacted the NSL. You can’t blame China for what is happening to Hong Kong yet at the same time you can’t give it credit either because it was built by the British and local Chinese population who turned it into a financial hub!

[@Mel_Gerrard]

​@@Blindswordsman1994 You are incorrect. Firstly, the GDP of the city tripled since the Brits left. It indeed became far wealthier, more cosmopolitan (contrary to what you may have been told), and freer (contrary to what you've definitely been told). Yes, freer. For example, media articles in the past had to be vetted by the British regime, there was no free press and no self-governance by the local majority. Today, you can find an array of anti-China media throughout the city (often with China-bashing headlines), from local ones like the SCMP to international ones like the NYT, WSJ, and CNN (again, contrary to what you likely thought). As for the NSL, I read it and, if anything, it's too soft - merely preventing secessionist activities and collaboration with foreign entities and powers to undermine the city (something that's highly illegal anyway in most nations). Any functioning sovereign nation on the planet has national security laws. But if you want to find truly scary ones, look mo further than the US and UK ones. But of course, like most keyboard warriors, you've never read any of them.

Why is everyone comparing Hong Kong and Singapore in a toxic way? Both are global financial centres and one of the most prosporous cities in Asia, and both have their advantages and disadvantages.

In fact, even though Hong Kong and Singapore are both competitors, they are in some ways interdependent of each other in for example trade.

I have been looking for jobs in both cities and recruiters don't recommend SGP because they reject most of the working visas, companies need to have a local to foreigner ratio above 1:10 to have a chance of getting a visa approved for a new foreigner. Concerning salary/costs the situation in SGP is getting worse, especially for architects it is more profitable to go to HK. Still Dubai is way better in that aspect, but life in Dubai is hell and male to female ratio is 4 to 1, not a place for straight men.

It's amazing to see different views from around the globe. Certainly, most of us speak either because we have heard from somewhere or we actually experienced it. In my opinion, no country is perfect every country has some or the other flaws, it's because of an individual's preferences. It's true that a country may have more benefits than the other. However, it is our choice what fits best for us. We cannot deny the fact that others experience helps us alot in taking the decision. In hkg, despite of having higher accommodation, people still wants to live because they are earning that much. That means there are opportunities, maybe it's a bit less but it hasn't ended unlike other countries with recession. The weather, transport, beautiful nightlife, safety. And so on. I am not aware much of Singapore , but what I read is there are restrictions and same weather throughout, less lively than hkg. That does not mean sgp doesn't have any good points to look for. The low rate rents, great opportunities, less crime rate . It's just our own perception and preferences at the end, otherwise don't forget in every country there are ups and downs. We just have to figure it out which one suits us the best. 😊

HK is a nice city. Of course if you know locals in a place you'll see a different side. Take a trip to Lantau island on the ferry and eat in the fish restaurants...it's very green too. HK was always a super creative city. You see a cake shop in London, it's just a cake shop. The same shop in HK will be next level. KL is also very green. I'm not sure what impression you get after 3 or 4 days, saying that though (I spent 5+ weeks in HK and 5 weeks in Malaysia). Malaysia is the only place that felt like home the moment I stepped off the plane the first time I visited. Perhaps HK will change over time 😐 and I haven't been back to KL for a while. The Malaysia as a second home program was too expensive when I checked it out years ago. HK property is too small and too expensive. So, Dubai is great (but less green) however, it's in a good location, so you can visit HK or KL with a 7 hour trip 😄 if you can configure all the variables.

Hi I'm a Hongkonger who watched all your videos cuz I'm planning to relocate to Dubai. Thanks for visiting Hong Kong! ❤ Honestly, it's a bad idea to move to HK now, almost everyone here is urging to escape/already moved to countries like UK, Canada, and Australia. Even though we have to pay a higher tax rate, we still hurry to go there because Hong Kong is a dangerous place now. The good old days are gone. So I wouldn't recommend anyone to live here.

[@tuomaskiv]

Interesting. In what way do you mean it is "dangerous"

[@Dumpmaster-2055]

Well the dangerous is the government (I mean CCP)

[@ralph3652003]

@@tuomaskiv For local HKers, the "dangerous" from their perspective is because they are becoming more and more scared of CCP from mainland China, cause they felt their democracy and freedom has been ruined by the party in recent years. However, for foreigners, practically nothing should be considered dangerous as of now, HK is still a city full of business opportunities.

[@LPYHK]

@@ralph3652003 If you come as a tourist and only travel for a few weeks. Yes, you'll be fine. But if you want to stay for months or a year, you'll be affected by the current situation. Because what China has done to us is that not only has democracy been affected in Hong Kong, but everything has started to fall apart. Even the crime rate is rising rapidly. Corruption in the police force has become widespread. Inadequate medical services because most of the doctors and nurses have left and moved to other countries. It's no longer a safe city and definitely not an ideal place to live for foreigners or locals.

Fyi many Hong Kongers have migrated to Singapore which u didn’t know, they have started as early as 1980s & 1990s. Many have felt that was the BEST move ever rather than moving to N. America,Australia or any European countries cos those countries aren’t asia countries afterall, u will always be treated as 2nd class citizen in white country.🥰🤭

HK is dead now, the only skills the country has is stock and real estate broking and both sectors will never recover. Tech skills are third world, economic knowledge is fourth world, engineers specialize in fixing toilets for ultra rich, LKF is dead, SW is dead, taxis are 50 years old and always trying to crash into each other, shops are all closed and the ones alive are said to be money washing, restaurants are closing one after another, you get 5 circle ks or 7-11s in two blocks, and 3 watsons and mannings. Full of life? I dont know what you guys are smoking here.

Singapore is better

[@nmaddpnmaddp7333]

Hong Kong = CCP cop can anytime knock on your hotel room door and take you away for being SPY . Singapore = Pure of Freedom and relaxation Now you take a pick ?

[@sarahchan5604]

You have such incredible imagination!

[@90taetaeya]

Singapore for me, according to the democracy index, it is categorised as a flawed democracy. Hong Kong has fallen to Hydrid Regime status and is heading to Authoritarian.

[@ericphua2359]

60+ of Singapore choose the current political party to be the government of the day. It Singaporean choices.

[@computer-ot8si]

But please be reminded that Hongkong is not a normal city now. There are at least 48 persons, including University Professors, Lawyers, Teachers, Reporters spending their 5th year in prison and without trial. China govt is going to keep them in life imprisonment. Even in Africa, country like Senegal, the old president would only keep his rivalry leader Bassirou Diomaye Faye in prison for just 1 year and then allow him to join the president election and let him be the next president after fair election. How can you pretend to know nothing about them and continue to play happily in Hongkong? That's what the China govt want you to do. It's just because their thoughts are against China. And there are hundreds of Hongkong ordinary people are put in jail for over 5 years. At least 2 persons in prison were forced to do TV show to say China govt is absolutely right. Please read "European Union message to China on human rights day" before going to China.

[@clemlowes9417]

Personally I would not be comfortable living under Authoritarian rule. All your "Rights" are what they tell you they are. Living in a Democracy all my life I cherish my Rights under The Law where no one is above them.

[@ruslankolotogin]

He compares to Singapore and Dubai, how are they better than In HK in that sense?😂

[@reggie69.]

Hong kong, singapore, and dubai/uae are soft authoritarians UAE is a kindom Singapore is a one party state that acts like a company and hong kong is a corporation Big companies vote based on how much they make in Hong Kong And make the laws in their favor which is why all most of the grocery store brands are actually owned by one company and real estate is expensive when 80 percent of the land is not used ​@ruslankolotogin

[@tenwhite769]

this is typical ignorant hk thinking. singapore citizens has more rights and freedom (those that matters) than a hk citizen ever has. (Eg. right to vote for govt of your choice, right to affordable housing/education/healthcare, right to safe/clean environment, and most important the right knowing what is the planned future you and your children can have.

[@calvinl2199]

@@tenwhite769 Right to vote for the government of your choice? SG has been ruled by the same party for 65 years since it separated from Malaysia! Education/housing/healthcare are paid for by taxes. HK has lower taxes but still has free education and good healthcare, with the highest life expectancy in the world. Right to know your planned future? Not sure what you mean, you mean the SG government can predict your future?

I'm a Hongkonger. Hong Kong used to be a great place, but it's like a sinking ship right now because of the political situation. Not going to talk about the politics, but as a matter of fact, leaderships just suck and with aging issues, youngsters are leaving Hong Kong since 2019, I can foresee that Hong Kong will become less and less prosperous in the next 10 or 20 years.

[@nanjing78654]

probably one of the worst places to be in if you value free speech and individual freedoms such a shame such an awesome city has fallen so much. my prayers go out to all hong kongers

[@percytong5377]

You are wrong. We enjoy lots of freedom of speech and individual freedom. We can openly talk about what is a woman unlike the West. We can openly oppose anyone who try to groom our kid to change sex without being sued by the government. We can reject any men to enter female toilets or changing room even he claims he is a woman. Of course, we can use whatever pronouns we want to address anybody. We are free from mass gun shooting in pulic area by crazy people. Our streets are free from homeless people or drug addicts in most part of our city. We are safe to go out on the street late at night. We enjoy cheap and clean public transport like MTR. We have cheap public health care. I simply enjoy every day of my time in Hong Kong.

[@sarahchan5604]

Great! Spot on

[@tsuitsui100]

As a local HKer, my advice is stay away from China as far as possible
