Made in China is disappearing in Hong Kong?

Chinese Communist Party loves to portrait Hong Kong is a nagging baby, everything depends on supply in China, and the territory and her people cannot live without China, or at the Party’s mercy, in one of its commissar’s own wording.

But the truth is, many basic needs of Hongkongers, are imported, not necessary from Mainland China. Like the main grain of the people, rice, mostly they’re from Thailand, and then Vietnam, and more & more Japanese imports these days.

So online commentators hired by CCP, or we called them “50-cents”, once caused a ridiculous gaffe. As they believe in CCP’s propaganda and believe all food in Hong Kong came from China, the 50-cents question what HK-ers eat and why they can forget their food’s origin and accusing Hongkong traitors.

People here just amused, with a usual reply, as “we are eating rice from Thailand, is this fact making us Thai?”

Recently the so called “yellow-economy-circles” are being targeted in pretty high profile fashion, even the “state media” started to criticise it as harbour “succession movements”.

But we would wonder why so scared and heavy handed. We can see something from the shelves in local supermarkets.

I think it is around 2 years ago, my friends and I spotted some weird situation, products from China disappearing in HK’s shelves, around the same time some manufacturing industry start to pull out from China.
