How is easy is it for Americans to live in Hong Kong

How is easy is it for Americans to live in Hong Kong?
Before Hong Kong was released to the Chinese mainland, Americans could easily work and live in Hong Kong due to British rule. I know many families who used to live in Hong Kong. Now, though, is it easy for an american to move to Hong Kong?

Because of the "One country two systems" policy, Hong Kong hasn't much changed. So I think it's still easy for foreigners to move to Hong Kong.

of course, many foreigners live in hong kong. i can't imagine why though, i was in hong kong march 1-march 3 2007. it is very crowded and dirty. if you don't mind living in the big city, there are many people that speak english there. i didn't like it and prices aren't any cheaper than they are in the u.s.
3 :
If you can get a job there, there is no problem living in Hong Kong. Not much has changed since it reverted to China. However, I don't like Hong Kong - too expensive, too crowded, too much traffic (driving on the left side of the road), and too dirty. Shanghai is much better - cheaper, too.

Chinese are naturally friendly to all people of all races even Americans hahaha. I was only joking. Not much different from under British rule that I can tell.

Easy. Just get use to the Chinese and the crowds. You don't really need a visa to go there, but will require you to have a work visa. You can stay as long as you like. Some of my family have been there for more than 20 years and they are all american citizens. GL.

Apple announced that the iPhone 4 will be available in Hong Kong end of July. http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2010/06/07iphone.html But for now we don't know if it's locked or not. If it's locked you can't use it in China (or pay huge roaming fees). If it's not locked it will work fine in China (GSM) since most HK provider use GSM too. So if it's not locked just put your SIM card in and that's it. Update: you can cut any normal GSM SIM card into a micro-SIM -- here is how: http://www.ihackintosh.com/2010/04/convert-mini-sim-in-to-micro-sim-for-ipad-3g-yourself/

You may face social reprisals in China for owning an Apple iPhone. Everyone should avoid Apple products. A mass protest and clashes occurred at the Apple store in Hong Kong on June 6. Apple is the focus of an emerging nationwide boycott across China. All of Apple's products are manufactured by the infamous Foxconn Technology Group founded by multi-billionaire Terry Gao. A large number of Foxconn employees in China have recently committed suicide, died from exhaustion, and died under mysterious circumstances. There is a massive anti-Foxconn and anti-Apple movement now sweeping China. Do not buy Apple products. Do not bring Apple products into China.
3 :
Following the release date, it should have open network for Hong Kong. Depending on which sim you use, some sim cards will work in Guangzhou much as a China Mobile sim bought in Guangzhou will work in Hong Kong, but of course the rates will now differ once you cross the border and started to make calls. It should work in mainland China, again, just have to wait and see if they are locked or not.

5 :
Hi there, I'm living in Guangzhou and using an iPhone 3G which I bought in Hong Kong. Here just some comments: 1) The notion "you shouldn't use an Apple product in China" is bullshit. Apple products are selling like hot cakes in China 2) You can buy the iPhone through Apple's official website in Hong Kong (www.apple.com/hk/en). The price is quite expensive though but you don't need to get a contract 3) SIM lock, very common in the U.S. and Europe is forbidden by law in Hong Kong. All phones sold here (except those on the gray market) are normally without SIM lock. All you need to do is enter the SIM card in your iPhone, done. I used my iPhone in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Germany without any problems. 4) China has different networks. The iPhone's 3G technology only works with China Unicom. China Telecom needs different kind of handsets (that's why the iPhone also doesn't work with Verizon). So you better get a contract with China Unicom. Mine is RMB 188 / month and provides 300MB of data and enough free minutes. If you go for China Telecom you can only use the slow EDGE network. The 3G network is quite good. I used it in different cities. It's very fast and reliable. 5) If you go to Hong Kong, get a 3G prepaid card. They charge you according to traffic, but the maximum charge is HKD 25 / day (that's around USD 3.50 / day). Not a bad deal at all.

Are applications for Chinese visas being rejected in Hong Kong now

Are applications for Chinese visas being rejected in Hong Kong now?
I am a British citizen currently preparing to travel to Hong Kong to apply for my Z visa so I can teach English in China. I have all the required documents and only need to travel to the embassy in Hong Kong to apply. However, I have heard that some people are being rejected visas from the Chinese embassy in Hong Kong possibly due to the Olympic games. This message has also appeared on the Hong Kong Chinese Embassy web site: "NOTICE (2008/04/13) Visa applicants are increasing in a large number and need longer waiting time in the visa office recently. If you don't reside or work in Hong Kong permanently, you are required to apply Chinese visa from the Embassy or Consulate-General of Peoples' Republic of China in your resident country. You are welcome to China for tourism, business, visit of the Olympic Games." Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

you might want to learn English first. At the moment I doubt you could get a job anywhere.

Nothing is impossible. HK does offer great amount of job opportunities as the City's economy is picking up fast along with China's. The competition for a good job is fierce though and one has to equip with excellent skills and good working attitudes in order to compete well in the labour market. Nowadays many well qualified students and employees from mainland China eager to work in Hong Kong too. You could get a copy of the Saturday edition of the South China Morning Post in any major Library, Chinatown stores or in the Hong Kong Representive Office located in London, loads of jobs are being advertised on the paper, you could have a feel of their requirements. Good luck!

You said you speak Chinese, but you didn't specify Cantonese or Mandarin. I'd guess you probably learned Mandarin (普通话, pinyin: Pǔtōnghuà, since you said you couldn't read Chinese) since most schools in the US teach that, so I'm assuming schools in other countries do too. If so, it probably won't be much use to you in Hong Kong, most people speak Cantonese here. I'm just barely a teen, but I recently moved to Hong Kong (family of expats from the United States), so I could probably help you out about the practicalities of living in Hong Kong, but not about finding a job. I'd guess that it would help if you knew what type of job you wanted, though. You could probably get 'a job' anywhere in the world, if you try hard enough, but you might have some trouble getting a good job/jobs in certain fields around here if you don't speak Cantonese, though. Just out of curiosity, why do you want to move here? PS: When talking about yourself, the letter 'i' is capitalized 'wen' isn't a word, did you mean 'when'? There are apostrophes between the I and m in 'im" 'uk', 'chinese' should be capitalized 'hong kong' is capitalized, e.g. 'Hong Kong' 'wanna' isn't a word, do you mean 'want to'? 'tooken' isn't a word, do you mean 'took', or 'have taken'? There is a space between 'can' and 'not' in 'cannot', unless you mean 'can't' I assumed you meant that you meant "could I get a job in Hong Kong if I had around C's in gc's" as your statement asked whether you could get a job if you worked in Hong Kong. Therefore, your question presumably should have been worded: Well, I want to know if I could get a job in Hong Kong. I'm a teenager in the UK, and when I'm older I want to work in Hong Kong. For my GC's I have taken food and engineering. I can speak [Cantonese or Mandarin] but can't read and write in it, so my question is if I could get a job in Hong Kong if i had around C's in gc's? Just some friendly spelling advice from a 13-year-old.
