Hong Kong’s latest fissure with China deepened Wednesday after a popular local newspaper published an advertisement slamming mainland Chinese as “locusts” who swarm the city and drain its resources. “Hong Kong people, we have endured enough in silence,” said the ad, which ran in the Apple Daily, a Chinese-language paper with an average daily circulation of about 288,000 in the first half of 2011, according to Hong Kong’s Audit Bureau of Circulations. The full-page ad, which shows a locust looking at the Hong Kong skyline, was paid for by an online fund-raising campaign on Facebook and local site Hong Kong Golden Forum, which received more than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars (US$12,900) from 800 donors in a week.

[QUOTE=Awesomecaek;34493355]This won't end well.[/QUOTE] Why? Since like forever Hong Kong has been trying to keep the mainlanders out.

[QUOTE=NoDachi;34493867]Hong Kong is already chinese....[/QUOTE] It has it's own government though, with different laws and legislation than that of the mainland.

lmao asian politics.
I heard a lot about this earlier, it's apparently a case of huge culture shock for Hong Kong'ers. They complain that the mainlanders are generally just really impolite and uncivilized. IE cutting in line, yelling, spitting, pissing and shitting on the streets.
Stop harassing them Hong Kong. You'll make them move to Vancouver more quickly where they are more parasites than locusts.
