China denounces ‘Hong Konger’ trend
In a January 11th Washington Post article “China denounces ‘Hong Konger’ trend” writer Andrew Higgins reports on the tendency of Hong Kong permanent residents to describe themselves as ‘Hong Kongers’ versus Chinese citizens. The past few days I have seen a flurry of editorials and opinions on this topic in the territory’s English dailies. It is an important issue for Hong Kong citizens concerned with the future of the city.
Why can’t a person consider himself a Hong Konger and yet still be a Chinese citizen?
I consider myself a New Yorker and a U.S. citizen as well. I think Beijing has more important issues to deal with than this.
thank you so much for sharing! glad they’re considering this as an issue.
Thank you for your comment @Kelzchan.
no one wants to be known to be associated with those who egged an Apple store that did not open in time.
I see you read about that (Apple Incident) in New York. How embarrassing….
