I don't agree STW. Most will soon realise that there is no future here. They will conclude that it is nothing more than a drudgery, akin to a hamster in a wheel. If you are anything other than a younger single person, you will not be able to make ends meet. Adding up all the costs of living in HK, raising a family and dealing with the associated costs....there is no way forward. Far better to be back home working for a local company. You may not get any further ahead, but you will be home. HK only made sense when there was a significant financial benefit. Now that that is undeniably no longer the case there is no reason to stay. Factor in the risk to health and you can't possibly conclude staying makes any sense at all.
