No longer belle of the ball? Hong Kong faces stiff competition for tourism

www.scmp.com No longer belle of the ball? Hong Kong faces stiff competition for tourism

Mainland Chinese visitors are not returning to Hong Kong as much as expected, with cities across the border adding to the competition for tourists.

Hong Kong lost their fight against their oppressors, sadly. It's now a police state run under authoritarian rule, slowly but surely erasing every shred of the freedoms and uniqueness they had.

Not really a tourist destination any more, hardly surprising :-(

- Which, surely, explains why tourism in the rest of the Bay Area is shooting up?

  the food scene in hk has collapsed. there is no longer any nice food to eat. everything is the same mainland china cuisine, which everyone hates. tasteless, oily, bland and sometimes very nauseating. there is not a single world class chef which supports this cuisine, yet the mainland china government had ordered that it be the only cuisine on offer. Lots of restauranteurs have been disappeared for offering anything different.

- While there is a political component to it, the real issue is that the HKD is too strong now and the cost of touristing in HK is very visible.

- Hong Kong is finally free from western parasites. They won their freedom.

- Westerners remain the most propagandized people on Earth.

  The truth. And it is true of their leadership too.
  
  Not that I mind. Propagandized people make uninformed decisions, so I don’t even care to correct them.

A route back? I doubt China is willing to free Hong Kong just to save tourism.

- Hong Kong is a part of China. Always was, always will be Chinese land. The British Empire had failed, they stole the land but under Chinese might they ran away.

- Hong Kong is free.
  
  Edit: lots of salt here for the decline of the British Empire, apparently.

  Didn't you know, you can only be anti imperialist against Russia and China and some middle east countries( minus israel, because their god said that they can slaughter as many other humans as they want)
  
  Don't you dare be anti imperialist against the US empire and it's European colonial proxies.
  
  And didn't you know people from the global west are definitely not propogandised at all. Only the enemies of their colonial governments are propogandised because who wouldn't want the US empire and their proxies controlling their governmment, land, policies, resources, etc.?
