If you go there on Sundays or other public holidays, those people you see gathering in HK's Central District (CBD), and parks, are mostly Filipino domestic helpers enjoying their day off. The CBD, before Hongkongers start hiring them, is like most CBDs in other countries, deserted ghost towns during holidays as all the banks and businesses closed down. Their arrival and making use of it during public holidays pose little problems for Hongkongers so for decades literally no one ever complained.

It is only after certain lowly evolved creatures who go to HK under the disguise of tourists and worse, emigrants. Filled with jealosy, hatred, and malevolent intentions not unlike those of terrorists, they hit HK in swarms. HKers finally had enough of it, to the extend of demanding independence.

Tons of charitable material from underwear (no exaggeration) to cash are given freely to daluren for decades, even through smuggling personally by plenty of Hongkongers, most of them now regret their wasted kindness and worse, feeding vipers instead of underdogs which had every intention to kill their feeders once they grew big enough. Obviously, their targets are not limited to HK, all developed countries are their targets, as the smarter ones in these countries, like Hongkongers finally realiase.

'Nasty surprises !!!', I actually heard this said by these low lives, accompanied by a cold laugh filled with hatred and resentment. This is the same kind of laugh from terrorists upon seeing the death and sufferings of those they kill or torture, who are better off than them, one way or the other. Terrorists, mainlanders, dalurens, thieves, liars, abusers.....labels, a rotten apple is a rotten apple, call it whatever you want.

You must be from a small town, go to Central park in NYC, or just about any big city and you'll see the same. Nationality is insignificant. HKers don't like it because HK was already overcrowded and the govt's policy of letting anyone is made it increasingly worse.

HKers are protesting against 'their' government's open door policy pertaining to china mainlanders. The policy is imposed upon them from PRC the minute they got HK back from the British. Each day, 150 mainlanders (quota) can emigrate to HK. The control lies in the hands of PRC, not HKers. Initially, they didn't think much of it, until years later. Now, 20 years since 1997 have gone by. Do the math., 150 * 365 * 20, over a god damn one million, the actual figure is a little less but close to 1 M.  

Most of these are low lives with next to nil education, thus ending up as toilet, street cleaners and security guards. There is nothing wrong in these occupations, but everything is wrong with these venomous creatures. Their next generation, already grown up, are as insidious and venomous (if not more) as their parents. Out of a 7 million population, more than one million are 'people' with terrorists mentality, this being reflected in their verbally abusive behaviors in daily life. You think that is funny?

This is why Brexit is a smart survival move, so is Trump's new immigration policy except both countries should add daluren to their list, as should other developed countries. Learn from HKers, they have few choices, these countries have and should they still are that stupid, allowing terrorists (in essence) to continue to infiltrate their homeland, then they deserve the same fate as HKers even more!

Whoever downvoted my comment, care to give a valid, logical reason why?
I'm suspecting your reason is either you're petty or you can't read.

Shining_brow:

Dude.... if they don't downvote you, then they can't get paid!

Shining_brow:

Oh, I should have added...

At uni, I did 1 year of Russian (all my teachers were Australian - although one was born in Russia, and another had Russian parents) and 1 year of Spanish (again, Australian teachers - mostly 2nd generation Aussies).

The difference between those teachers and Chinese teachers of English is that my teachers (non-native speakers of the language) is that they had at least spent time in their respective language's countries.... the 'pure' non-natives had lived in the country (Russia or South America... perhaps Spain) for a while, to effectively have to use the language.... It's VERY rare to speak to a Chinese teacher of English who has actually spent much time in the UK, Aus, US, Canada, NZ, SA, etc...

DId you get past the headline of the question? I'm asking if maybe they have other motives instead of the quality of English teachers. Chinese are racist. Maybe they don't want a flood of colored poor people in their country? Maybe they just like white people? I get jobs thrown at me all the time just for being a handsome white Canadian while a black Nigerian would have to basically beg and plead to get a job. 

So is it reasonable?? I think its not but there are motives for doing this. I'm asking WHY they do this.

icnif77:

Do you know the reason why Chinese schools want only Native English teachers?

Because, their English level is too low to judge one's English ability. Only Native English passport holder can assure them proper English is taught.

Shining_brow:

Yeah, Biggs, I did read the whole thing...

And basically NOTHING about it suggests (or even clearly IMPLIES) your asking about the motivations behind it... (which, btw, has been discussed numerous times on this forum).

Given that I've been given 5 upvotes, it seems that at least a few other people on here agreed with what I wrote (granted, there are 3 downs - but some are the usual wumaos, and I presume one is yours...). It also suggests that at least 5 others (I don't vote for my own posts...) also didn't see the 'motivation' that you say was implied in the question...

And, to Chinese, obviously - it IS 'reasonable' (with Chinese logic). Why does it 'make sense' for Chinese business people to aggressively sabotage their own business and interests, just because they might lose face in front of their foreign partners??? Is it 'reasonable' to continue lying and cheating? To them, yes...

Shining_brow:

Here's a couple of other words...

IELTS, TOEFL, PTE, Cambridge, Common of European Framework.

If you want to teach Putonghua - you need HSK 6 or above. If you want to teach English - you need IELTS 7.5 (with nothing less than 7.5!).

Extremely easy solution!

Englteachted:

Shining: China will never use foreign testing standards as official guidelines domestically (has nothing to do with right or wrong, just reality)

biggj123:

Did you read my question? Judging from that answer you never.

Shining_brow:

Yeah, Engles, I know....

I heard that IDP Australia (one of the 3 partners of the IELTS testing group) was largely owned by a Chinese company....

It's also been said around the IELTS rumour mill that the Chinese were planning on replacing IELTS (or, perhaps, taking it over more, and hiring Chinese teachers as examiners... this latter is unlikely to seriously happen, and wouldn't/shouldn't change the standards significantly - because, there'd be SO much international research done on it, that they couldn't get away with it!)

biggj123:

What am I going to do about it? Nothing. Just asking people opinions on the subject. Thanks.

earthizen:

Not at all, your question is valid. Changing mass consciousness includes changing beliefs which is virtually impossible with people who can't reason. It so happens that this is the land of the unreasonable, where violence is fused with so called patriotism, and deceit fused with so called survival.  That makes things even more tricky.

The problem is, he's not teaching in China where they're easily thrown off by accents.
