Why mainlanders must rush to Hongkong for shopping? they buy even regular milk and dairy products. So there's limit of 2-tin per mainlander.
Is it not true that China make everything on earth in mainland?

The CIA in action，They are just pawns on the table ( 1/10 Hong Kong people )

Actually in this case 1/10 are quite many, if nothing is done sooner than later it would be the silent majority in hong kong and visitors/immigrants from other part of china whos gonna pay for the consequences.

Eventually, we will all be working for China. These young punks will eventually grow up and learn that. Waving the colonial flag will definitely not help your resume. He he he.

They do it because of tax rate arbitrage.

Its the same here in Canada when our dollar was high compared with the USD, everyone living close to the border rush across to grab all the cheap milk, eggs, and gas from the states which are taxed less and are also subsidized by the American government, resulting in hours long wait time at the border and massive crowding in supermarkets in border towns. The Americans responded by hiring more people, order extra inventory and opening more markets.

The states have a whole bunch of mail order receiving businesses at the border specifically to cater to Canadians buying stuff that are expensive or unavailable in their home country, as well as airport parking to make money off the difference in airline ticket pricing.

The only reason why this is a problem for HK is that for some reason the HK people are too dumb to take advantage of business opportunities like the US does. Too many mainland Chinese crowding and clear out supermarket? Just build a new and bigger one right on the border and order 10x the amount just to make money off them!

Same thing between Malaysia and Singapore. In the old days Malaysian will flock to Singapore to buy their duty free goods. Now Singapore dollar is much stronger, they now flock to Johore Bharu to eat, to drink to fill up their petrol tank etc. So much so Singapore Government prevents car with empty petrol tanks to leave Singapore !

You are wrong, because the people of Hong Kong, the Chinese more support the China government.The people of Hong Kong proved that American democracy is a garbage.The people of Hong Kong is a parasite, more and more Chinese people will know.Foreigners have a dream China division, but existed for thousands of years in China.China's large population, the people of Hong Kong is just a drop of water, can't affect China

you can bet that many hongkong people are doing everything they can and as fast as possible to profit from new waves of visitors/costumers, the problem is there are not yet enough of them and there is the other groups (angry young folks) who are doing their best to scare of people. When the dusts settled the reputation for buisness finally ruined and people scared off, guess whos gonna cry,

Tariffs, there is no tax in Hong Kong, mainland China's poor natural want to save money，In Hong Kong to buy an iphone can save $100,Buy milk powder can save $5，The Chinese government is planning to open a duty-free in mainland China。

Those Hong Kong protesters are really rude here but they always can tolerate badly racism in the West.

I even ever watched an video the white throw banana skin to Asians on the street just because they looks different.

Those protesters can't understand only Asian unify and respect each other, Asian could be strong and get worthy respect.

• In pictures: Hong Kong 'parallel trade' protests
• Angry protests have taken place in a shopping centre in Hong Kong against mainlanders who visit the territory to shop.

Hong Kong residents have long complained about mainlanders buying up goods at lower tax rates and then selling them on at home at a profit, so-called parallel trading.

They say this leaves Hong Kongers with a shortage of basic supplies and pushes up the cost of goods, while also accusing the mainlanders of bad behaviour.
Tens of millions of mainlanders visit Hong Kong every year, many for just a day. The protesters compare them to locusts, saying they are taking advantage of Hong Kong's lack of a goods and services tax.
The protesters gathered on Sunday at the New Town Plaza shopping centre in Sha Tin, surrounding mainland shoppers and heckling them. It was the second such protest in a week.
This time of year is a particularly busy shopping period as people stock up on food and gifts ahead of Lunar New Year celebrations. This man was being detained by protesters who accused him of beating someone up.
least one protester waved a Hong Kong colonial-era flag, a symbol often used by the pro-independence movement in the former British colony.
Hong Kong's media said a number of people were arrested as protesters clashed with police, who deployed pepper spray to hold them back.
This mainland woman was watching the unrest from behind a shop shutter. One shopper visiting from Hangzhou told the South China Morning Post: "This is crazy, I don't know why they are so violent. I have only come to buy gifts for the Lunar New Year, I guess I won't spend so much here in the future."
The issue of parallel trading has been rumbling for several years and is seen as a factor in rising anti-mainland sentiment in Hong Kong.
The authorities do conduct occasional sweeps and arrest parallel traders under immigration offences, but the protesters want a bigger crackdown.

Yes, the fotos show it obviously. Some HK people want this kind of social style, some want that social style. It is troublesome, it needs time and patience to solve divergence among people.

 

[black-hawk_101]

Really Hong Kong is a power house for China. As China had gain many expertise from Hong Kong city. It will be better if Hong Kong will buy some 100 KM in Diameter of Land bordering Hong Kong from China and make their own country under UK slogan or as a UK state.
