China finds Hong Kong hard to swallow

Article Abstract:

Many Chinese people feel that residents of Hong Kong are too westernized and that they have little knowledge of true Chinese culture. This is particularly the case in the province of Guangdong, which borders Hong Kong. There is very strong Hong Kong influence in this region, with around 50,000 Hong Kong companies employing around 5 million people. The lifestyle in Guangdong is rapidly becoming very similar to that of Hong Kong, and its residents frequently speak Cantonese, the traditional Hong Kong language.
