Everything You Need to Know About Hong Kong
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Hong Kong is a world famous trading city in the south of China, technically part of China but also not, depending on how you look at it. This former British colony is famously one of the world's most futuristic cities, and is virtually the definition of the term "urban".

A couple corrections for errors that have been so far pointed out in the comments:
2:14 Actually, that was proposed legislation that was protested against a few years ago, not necessarily the status quo
2:33 The Yuan RMB actually hasn't been pegged to the USD since 2005, though the HKD still is
3:05 a note from a Hongkonger
people will give you weird looks if you speak Mandarin, for err ... reasons best not explained at this instant, from personal experience, more people know better English than Mandarin anyways (atleast the people I'm with, most of whom barely know Mandarin, I don't know it at all)
(if you want to know why people will give you weird looks if you speak Mandarin, you don't know what kind of rabbit hole you're getting into, but this is it)
basically, among the Hongkongers, the Mainlanders gained a reputation of jumping queues, public urination, and causing massive price hikes in baby's formula by buying tons of it and selling it in the Mainland, combined that with the resentment towards China in general, and you might get in trouble speaking Mandarin
(ps Thatcher sold us out and "Winnie the Pooh" is a genocidal maniac who spies on people with technology and reads Nineteen-Eightyfour like an instruction manual, don't @ me)
@@1224chrisng IIts becauses HK people think they are better than everyone else and cant accept that life in Mainland is now comparable or better than HK
Man, us EduTubers are such great actors!

@@DSMWannabeLinguist AHL TELL U HWAAT AH DUN THINK DEM KING KONGERS ATCHLY GOT NO OIL
Last time I was early, Hong Kong was British. Hong Kong’s a crowded city but they have a nice Disneyland, Ocean Park is cool too. As well as the Tian Tan Buddha. I wish Kai Tak was still open. It made Hong Kong a plane spotter paradise
i have landed as a kid on Kai Tak multiple times. you really had to fly in between buildings. but if you really want to see a nice part of hong kong go to the Gold coast region. that part is a bit less crowded.
Awesome video mate, except for that dim sum chump at the beginning. I first visited HK and Macau as a kid in 1997, just before handover. It was a huge story back home and dominated current affairs in HK. I remember Chris Patten's tearful farewell. Even as a youngster I recall thinking this was a key moment in the UK becoming less relevant, the last vestiges of a colonial past, and Asia rising.
There's going to be a huge emigration in the year 2047, no doubt.
No point in living on the 148th floor anymore
There is actually a emigration rise in Hong Kong as people are afraid they won't be able to leave in 2047.
There was already one in 1997. That's how Vancouver got so many a Chinese people
@@maxwellli7057 Actually, no one can afford a flat with that high price (more than ten thousand HKD per sq. feet), the real concern in the political aspect, where the freedom is shrinking due to increasing intervention from Beijing.
Fluor Potas I was making a joke but okay.
my father has actauly helpt build the island for Chek Lap Kok. and when they where finished with the making it a Island part. the children of the people working there where allowed to go to the island and be the first few children ever to stand on the island.
Even if it was just a heap of sand mostly.
but i did like living in Hong Kong back then.
JOLLY GOOD DIM SUM

And the guy who said it in the beginning was Cooper from Map Men
I don't care who knows it, I genuinely didn't know that about the bank notes.
I think Hong Kong should become a city sate... it’s different from China... and is unique in its own way
They will adapt to the PRC, whether they like it or not.
I love how this channel is growing fast! Enjoy that Chinese/Cantonese food while you can.
Yay, a video about my home country! A few things though:
2:17 This is not true. What you described is the *proposed* electoral reform by the PRC government that sparked the Umbrella Revolution, and the whole bill was rejected in our Legislative Council in the end (it was a bit of a funny story but I won't get into it). The current system Hong Kong elects the Chief Executive (head of government) is by a 1200-member Election Committee, the members of which are in turn elected only by certain sectors and special interest groups. The current Chief Executive Carrie Lam was elected with 777 votes.
4:33 Not really an inaccuracy per se, but I want to add that Macau has been in de facto control by the PRC since 1966 after the leftist riot. The Macanese colonial government at the time agreed to China's demands and basically handed over control. The leftists in Hong Kong got inspired by this and tried the same thing in 1967 but failed. This is why people from Macau are much more pro-China than those in Hong Kong.
Great video!
And he also forgot the usual Cantonese greeting of DLLM
Also as a Hong Konger, I would like to mention that Tuen Mun was once owned by the Portuguese as Portuguese Tamao
Greeting from a Hong Kong viewee😀 Your video accurately protray Hong Kong. Hope you are having a nice time while you are here.
I had no idea that the $10 bill and the coins were issued by the government, and I'm a Hongkonger. Thanks so much for the vid
The RMB isn't pegged to the USD, just the HKD. Fun fact, the MOP (Macanese Pataca) is pegged to the HKD at a rate of 1.03 to 1, which means it's technically pegging to the second degree!
Or you can simply spend the HKD in Macau.
You can also spend CNY in HK. They have almost the same value too
6:05 can literally see my home.
RUclips and everything that is banned in China is NOT banned in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is more similar to Taiwan than the mainland (except politics)
@@supernt7852 that's kinda why we get along more with Taiwanese than Macanese people.
Some one compared north Ireland to Hong Kong and I like oh yeah,they do have similar history.
not really
SaikiK it's it's some similar things but you'er right
Yay yesterday was my birthday and this is about my home ^_^
Imagine walking in a sidewalk and see a guy with a pharaoh crown speaking english to a camera
Great video as always, keep up the great work!
I know militarily speaking it would be impossible to hold, but I wish Hong Kong and Macau would've been given to the Republic of China🇹🇼, where they would of had true representative democracy!
I wish the peoples republic of China would belong to the republic of China!
@@bly2489
Obviously, I do as well, but it isn't happening not in our lifetimes! I wish for mainland China to become a true representative democracy, but seeing how Russia turned out after the fall of the Soviet Union doesn't give me much hope if the CCP stops being the leader of that country.
@@OpinionesDeJACCsOpinions the best way would be for the CCP itself to gradually turn democratic. when is that gonna happen? nobody knows.
well both the RoC and PRoC both see them selves as the legitimate ruler of all China. But i don't thing that will ever be solved in a nice way.
I am a hongkonger and I fully agree
When I saw this video, Brain4breakfest had just died, and I thought that he did everything Australia because he new he was going to die. So when I saw this, I got frightened
Holy crap, didn't mean to scare you like that! Don't worry though, this whole "Everything You Need to Know About..." series is just a fun thing I like to do when I travel to smaller countries. Still very sad about brain4breakfast though, he was one of my favorites.
@@KhAnubis it's ok
Was this video made before or after the civil war broke out
Good video from Hong Kong viewee! :)
Yeah, like 99.99% acurate
I thought the renminbi weren't pegged to anything.
Yeah they are only pegged to artificial inflation
its hard to not cause a flame war regarding hong kong, and you successfully narrowly avoided it.
Way better then Rice Gums trip to Hong Kong
Zoning laws are the real problem with housing in Hong Kong.
I know it is bad, but i skipped the class so I can watch this....
At least it was for an educational video. I'm sure you can at least say that.
Probably better than school to
Probably more educational than a week of school lol
So HK is attempting to pass a new law that is controversial and there are protests on it, and it's about transferring criminals that came to HK from China but broke the law of China to China.
Anyways, HK person here, and this video is great.
If you speak manderin in HK you will get beat up or discriminated
KhAnubis

Hawaii 5O not really
No, Macau is totally different. I went there in 2019 and had a great time!
No. Macau is much much richer
Go to Hong Kong!! Some of the best nightclubs I’ve ever been to
Because of British Invasion ; now most of those countries are left in chaos and uncountable issues
use your 27 years to watch youtube hong kongers !!
I saw you
No hate,actually really like your videos but i think you would get a lottt more views if you didnt put yourself on the thumbnail 😂
I already know it.but nice video
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻wow
Soon the border between Mainland and HK will be erased. Whether the people of HK will like it or not, they will be integrated into the rest of the PRC. Long live President Pooh
0:10 What,HK is not Arabia.
0:07 lol, i have that map

Hong Kong : It's ultra pricey real estate
I actually likve in HK
glad to know youtube still isnt banned there
Let's not talk about oil, and petrol, they are hella expensive here
His pronunciation of Chinese was bad. Oh god the cringe.
It was actually kind of ok tho
Cantonese isnt exactly the easiest language to speak and given his first language probably isn't east asian i'ld give him credit for at least getting the tones and the vowels right
As someone who studied Cantonese, I have only ever met two Europeans with good Cantonese pronunciation. One of them lives in Hong Kong, and spends most days with her Hong Kong husband's grandmother. The other is a linguistics professor of East Asian languages, who speaks over 9 languages.
Cantonese pronunciation is hard for most Europeans, myself included, and I speak three East Asian languages.
Ok
They have oil right lol
HK: Its not free real estate
*Hong Kong '97*
oh sorry wrong video
The worst part is there's literally no reason Britain should have given Hong Kong back.
They made a deal with the Qing Empire, not the PRC.
A war?
Between two major powers?
In the 90s?
_AFTER_ the Cold War _JUST_ ended?
Never going to happen. Plus, America and its NATO allies at this point in time are a bit lost, still anti communist, and looking for a purpose, since Russia is being friendly.
This war would be a sweep in the favour of the Brits.
Good relations with China.
Hong Kong should have been handed to the Republic of China (on Taiwan) as the rightful heirs. 🇹🇼
@@markmh835 Definitely a fair comment but undoubtedly would have lead to much more conflict.
Deng said the chinese army will march into vietnam if they invade cambodia during his visit to US, and no one believed. Then they really marched into vietnam few days later and everyone was shocked. Then Deng said the same, chinese army will march into hong kong if british refused to return back hong kong. Even the iron lady Margaret Thatcher was scared of Deng's word.
I am watching this video in Hong Kong
can u make a macau vid

Another fact is that it was better off with the British.
Nope
@@skazka3789 Yep.
