I've been to Hong Kong last summer for three days. I swear some people there are the most rudest and meanest people I have encountered in my entire life.

As a Chinese I do not like Hong Kong for the same reasons you stated. As a matter of fact when I tried to speak Mandarin in HK back in the 90's I would get looked down upon and be spoken to very rudely. When I switch to English all these idiots all of a sudden seem to have a light bulb click on and try to communicate in what limited English they master. All in all HK people are a totally another breed. No other place like this on earth......THANK GOD!!!!!

I'm a Filipino and I have visited Hong Kong once. I met a friend who is a domestic helper. She told me her boss throws kitchen utensil for no reasons when they're angry. They tell their Filipina domestic helpers humiliating things.

Been to HK once, never again. This video is correct

I am a Malaysian Chinese and I have to agree with most of what you said..Most if not all my Malaysian friends agree too...Do not think the problem lies with "being chinese " Perhaps you can try visiting Malaysia ..Citizens of all races here...whether chinese .malay or indian origins are generallly very warm courteous and friendly..You will be impressed.

ugly truth in HK... this is true

True some Hong Kong people are so rude

The Chinese that travel to the US in their large groups are SO RUDE! None have manners!

Every word coming out of you is so correct, my last four dau visit to hongkong made me hate them to an extent that i wanted to beat the hell out. Not only they are short people but also small people. Small eyes cant see their flaws. Miserable indeed

I am hong kong chinese and I agree what you said !!!!!!!

I TOTALY AGREE WITH EVERYTHING YOU SAID BROTHER!!!!

AGREEEEE! was there for a week's holiday and I just wanted to go home on my third day. they r sooo rude! they don't hv hearts like human beings anymore, the busyness of life eats them all away.. angry faces all the time. if u walk in to a shop u better buy something, if u go out empty handed u get that dirty look. I was so depressed by day 4. this is just my own experience.

Just came home from HK and I can say that I've experienced most of the things you mentioned in this video.. And I was only there for three days but had the most horrible experience ever. The place and food were nice, but the people around me just ruined the whole experience!

Reading all comments it is *Confirmed.. the world is now fucked*

This guys observations are very accurate. I am not Filipino, but Filipinos are very clean, patient, respectful and kind. Hope the entire world sees this video.

Many employer in hongkong so rude ....with helpers .....this Real.....

Ur totally right bro I’ve experience the same thing

People are gonna think I’m crazy… but here me out. Mainlanders are actually infinitely friendlier than Hong Kongers. Cantonese speaking areas in general are much less friendlier than mandarin speaking areas. Give Northern China a shot.

Don't know if you have noticed, but at shops, restaurants, or even some nurses at the hospital if they see something about you they don't like they will start talking about you with their coworkers loudly as if they want you to hear it!

Well , Many Hong Kong people are like this and I felt ashamed and sorry for you .

Agree with you 100% lived in HK from 1985-92/ and I have never had the urge of ever going back. Even for the visit.

Coming from my mother who used to live in hk, cars will not wait for pedestrians, its been like that for A LONG TIME. They will not care if you midway crossing a street. I guess its because of the busy lifestyle that they have. So most hk pedestrians tend to walk fast for 2 reasons, they are hurrying somewhere or they are not risking their lives. Also on the 20 yr old girls who still chase Hello Kitty, I, personally think that is perfectly fine. The behaviour of some teenagers in Australia could be worse. Stopping in the middle of the shopping centre to take a selfie or groupie. Usually a table in the food court, for far too long too talk and use social media. Ordering food with no please or thank yous. Loudly talking in cinemas or public places. On the bus I catch, several drivers have already had to shout at them to quiet down. Bumping into people and not saying sorry. Being unawareof their surroundings, like running across the street with a red light, having to have their friends pull them back. Basically acting as if they own the place. This behaviour is caused by them thinking that they look cool on social medias or in public. Ive seen several people look towards these teens in disgust. Its not just Hong Kong 😰😁

I am a Hongkonger myself and I have to say these are accurate in many ways!

they are mostly like that everywhere.

I'm a Hong Kong local, and this is 100% accurate

I lived there 3 years. I found expats to be very insular and false. The chinese were just rude and not very friendly in general. The odd person may be ok. The bumping on the streets nearly turns into fights. Thats why I dnt live there anymore.Vietnam, thailand and cambodia anytime.

some people in Hong Kong are very hypocritical because of culture, and rude because they want to

Hi, im filipino... me and my family went to hk when i was 8, 7 years ago, as tourists, i was most excited about disneyland at that time... but i will share my experience At the airport, there is a part where you show your passports and stuff, one employee threw our passports away and shouted, she was asking for a form that we didnt know, so we finally filled up that form and went to a diff person, he didnt take the form and let us in 😡 at the end we just threw our forms away... At the hotel, the woman working there was so loud! Even at night! She is screaming at the phone etc. ... At the restaurant there was an old woman who saw us taking pictures and started screaming at us and making middle finger! And she didnt get kicked out! We have to move instead! At the market, there are people selling shirts and raising the price on us, we asked why it was expensive, and she got mad cuz we were complaining and her employees asked us to leave... The only person i found nice at hk was a stranger, old man who was in line for the disneyland entrance and he was in front of me, he gave me disney stickers. Thats all

I agree..most polite asians are japanese

Living in HK you have to be thicked face to survive day to day life. Not for a sensitive weak heart. Had my fair share of Being and living there. Time is money it appears.. Some good thing about the place too.

I'm a Canadian and I feel like I'll be saying "Sorry...sorry....sorry".

Capitalism, you got to love it. Have you been elsewhere in China? Why don't you go to a province like Sichuan. Much more low key vibe (less wealth = people are more down to earth), and less insane capitalistic pinball cement-scape like Hong Kong.

Very well said and very articulate. Ive long wanted to say my observation its good it came from you. Im a chinese/filipino from the philipines and we are different bec we hv gmrc (good manners and right conduct) lessons in elementary just like JApan so i was a bit dumbfounded with their being rude. Thanks.

please come to malaysia. you will see the different with our malaysian chinese, malay & indian.

I've been once to hong kong & wanted to buy something in a supermarket, since I didn't see the price tag I asked the salesgirl about it -- with a folded hands to her chest she asked me " ARE YOU GOING TO BUY???"

I stayed in Hong Kong for a week Each morning I go to the bakery outside my hotel and purchased 2 pineapple buns It was 7 AM no other customers in the store I paid the cashier woman and she did not even look at me or said anything but just gave me back my change but I said Thank you to her I purchased the same buns each day at the same time and paid the same woman and thank her even she said nothing On the Eighth day (my last day in HK) she finally said 'Don't mention it' in Cantonese People are like that you have to educate them and they will change

I am hong kong chinese and I absolutely agree what you said !!!!!!!! I think that only Hitler and Nazi Party can deal with those rude hong kong chinese(black humor/ dark humor) !!!!!!What do you think ?

I live in Hong Kong. And sometimes people ARE rude. That's why I've always wanted to go to America. Plus people in my school always act like they are the best. I'm mixed and they think I'm racist.

you are so fucking right bro, speaking the truth

If I were you, move to Philippine for living, don't stay in HK anymore. Philippine is your paradise, no need to post any upset video.

you can't expect manners from pedestrians, when even the service staff are very rude.

I am a HKer and i have and same POV with you! And i really really hope the problems would be changed. I feel very ashamed after watching this video.

I've gotta say on what your saying is spot on I'm Chinese born in HK immigrate to Australia 40 years ago. I was in Hk two years ago and hated every min of my three days stay there and won't be going back any time soon. Sad thing is I have relatives living there😩 I'm embarrassed on how some of these Chinese are they make me sick on their rudeness.

I think every body will agree with you, bro. 👍👍👍👍👍 that's the truth of hongkong, lack of politeness. I'm so sorry for that.

Many Asian had bad experience in America too.

I'm from Hong Kong and he is speaking the truth people !

After watching all the videos about Asia or Chinese community, I found Taiwan or Singapore are the best places to live in among them.

You are right bro I appreciate with your every single word is true I don't know why they have that much attitude, I'm just waiting for China control all over Hong Kong then I'm going to see the Hong Kong people attitude.

I always like to dodge people.... when I was in Hong Kong...people tried to bump into me but use the aikido style using their own force and trip them... makes me laugh...

Try to smile, it's not a sin. Soooo agree!

im from hong kong and im sorry that you have such experience. i believe if you treat people right, people will treat you the same way. those cases with philippino are too extreme, i have a philippino helper as well, we are in good relationship for nearly 10 years. my family celebrates her birthday every year with cakes and presents. there are mean people in every country and i hope you understand that:) peace everyone!

I miss Pacific's videos, the guy did make a lot of good points...

My parents told me that polite people and rude people are exsist in all races, so my parents told me that not to be stereotype, what do you guys think?

I can tell you , the way they treat their own hk people is really mean as well. In the work field, some employers are the bastards of hell, they treat employees almost like slave, not just yell at workers when doing the wrong thing, they would curse at them, blame their parents to born such a stupid kid to work at this place and say some really bad swear words and put them down to a worthless trash sometimes can get abit of physical- i had been pushed the head down several times just because i asked dumb questions

EXACTLY!!! I have a chinese "friend" who thinks if you have money then you have life and he doesnt even care about anyone!!!

I have traveled by Kathy Pacific to London via HK. It was terrible the way the HK Airport staff treated me. When I was going I was asked in the gate of aircraft by someone, who have asked me "why do I go to the UK, where am I going and where that place is located in the UK" etc. On my way back the airport staff was shouting at me to ask how could I get permanent residence in Japan. When I was going to the gate for boarding another staff had asked me to show my passport and told me that it is a fake passport. I have challenged him, he called someone else, two or three people came and have inspected my passport but could not find anything wrong.

Right on brother, everything u mentioned in this video is spot on ..what happened to compassion people.

i was in hk last year and being a tourist, i read about the norms and the culture, etc first. so when i rode the mtr and there was this old lady standing i did not offer my seat because based on what i read, chinese will take offense if you offer them a seat, it is as if you are pointing out their frailty, weakness and age. i thought this was true because when my friend went to china, there was this old lady who was pushing a cart full of loads at an escalator. the old lady got off balanced and she almost fell down had not my friend helped her. then when they were off the escalator safe, the old lady shouted at my friend and hit her several times with an umbrella... now i see that it is different in hk and i feel bad i did not offer my seat, btw, i am a filipino

As Indonesian i really don’t like saying these things because i have chinese friends that are nice to me here in Germany during my college year but i have to tell you one time me and family went to Hong Kong for a holiday and things like people said about chinese spitting, cutting line, rude language, etc happened to me and my family just as soon as my family landed in Hong Kong. It happened sooner actually would you believe it. A chinese guy forced me to switch seats while pulling my hand in an airplane witnessed by many people and his fellow chinese yelled at me asking me to move. They were very loud and rude. I honestly don’t know what seems to be the problem that causing them to behave this way. Many people have problem with mainland chinese but after went to Hong Kong i was surprised. Didn’t really think people there could be that rude and uncivilized like that. To be fair there are nice people too there. I just hope for a better and civilized chinese one day. Love from Indonesia 🇮🇩

July 2019, can confirm. Spent 2 days just to go to Disneyland HK and even the staff are rude. Food and sights are too good for its people. NOT ALL but the MAJORITY! Smiling is a sin to the HK people 😂

Absolutely fantastic. I am nodding and find myself vindicated with every thing you said in this vid.

these rude people you met in HK are indeed native Hong Kongers, they are not really Chinese.

i agreed, some have no manners at all.

You are white. If you live in Hongkong as Asian, that's gonna be 100 times worse. Hongkang is a money oriented society. I am Chinese from mainland. The service in hongkong was terrible. I was pissed off a couple of times.

Goodness! I wish I saw this video earlier. I'm flying there to Hong Kong soon. This is discouraging.

Hong Kong is just entirely "too crowded & expensive." It's "unnatural" for people to live in such a densely packed area. Some people, like this particular man are extremely 'ill-suited' for crowded city life.

I hate our taxi and red minibus too...they are crap. So sorry for you experience. :'( I think Hong Kong is a very third world place and I want to leave. You are right, money can't buy happyiness, money can't even buy an apartment nowadays. You know why we are so unhappy? We are stucked here.

As an Asian,let me add something about what are modern time Chinese like. They,we call them Jina people,are not originally main stream of Ancient great China but mixed blood between Tibetan and Mongolian,mainly resulted in Mogolian Empire era of 13th Century.

i find u interesting lol, nice honest vid by the way

Wow. Well said.

the americans and philippinos are def. a match in terms of demeanor and how they view the world

I indian my friend.... Whatever you have said is on point.... Theses are rudest people in this planet..

I worked in a family of five, i clean 2 house which is in the contract i should take care one only. I was naive and stupid that time it was my first time abroad i let the grandma humiliate me in public. She’s in her wheel chair and my employer asked me if i could sleep in her house to accompany her of course i said Yes, do i have a choice, i was stupid. She woke up every after 30 minutes to smoke in the bathroom and if i’m sleeping the time she would kick my head to wake me up to stand in the toilet door to watch her in the toilet smoking. In the morning i feel like i want to collapse due to lack of sleep by that time i was working 5 months in their home.Everytime my employers go out it’s a nightmare to me bacause only me and the grandma left in the house. I couldn’t rest my mind bacause i always hear her voice inside my head though she’s not calling me. She would throw things infront of me especially food if she didn’t like it. I lost a lot of weight that my mother cried and always urged me to just go back home when we are talking via phone video call. I burn my hands in using muriatic acid in cleaning the toilet bacause she forbid me to use gloves. There was a time that she hold my head and wanted to bump it in the faucet sink but i told her i would run to police and she calm down. We don’t eat lunch most of the time she eat biscuits and smoke. I tried to cook more rice at night but she caught me so i didn’t tried it again. She is weak in appearance and using a cane but strong physically. She sometimes buy me food and i cried while eating at the kitchen i don’t know why. I managed to worked and waited for the arrival of their new Helper. I prayed in tears every night and now my prayer answered.

I m a Chinese too and just back from this place. I m not chinese educated but i used to learn a lot of Chinese culture from wiki, KZfaq, documentary, blogs When I was there I felt very strong negative around me and feel pressure. It's expensive too for accommodation and food. It's even worse compare last 10 years when I was there Now when I am back and would not visit them again except 5 stars hotel or above place or like casino in Macau. Not feeling like watching their program or HK movie even for free.

Don't ever think mainland China like HK, it's totally different. I am a mainland Chinese and I've been HK 1 years ago for trip. It was that time I know that HongKong Chinese will discriminate against mainland Chinese or even feel shame about China. I just don't understand why ever time mainland Chinese trying to ask them for help or something,they just make a sour face on us.Mainland Chinese seldom do that kind of thing...so don't think that all Chinese are like that

There are rude people in every country and discrimination is everywhere in the world too.

Sad yet true. They simply lack of love

I was scolded by the chinese lady in a hong kong bakery when i tried to give back the extra change of money to her.

My former boss in Malaysia is a chinese- vietnam. She pays her chinese employee who is a part timer and only comes to office 3 times a month unlike me full-time, 6 days a week, pay part timer for RM 1700 per month, and I earned RM 1400. Its upsetting. She will said good work, if only I execute task well. But when the developer need time and it is something I cant help with, she was really mad at me for not doing a good work. The developer doesn't even like the company. They felt my boss is defensive and very rude. Countless of people go in and out of the company. And now they have no staff left. Just her , her son and the part-timer chinese girl.

Yup, I gave up on a friend. He always hung out with rich Hongers and ended up being one of them. Only cares about status and money now... no more laughter

I totally agree with u, man.... look like u been through a very hard time in hong kong, take it easy pal

Sir I don’t think most hongongers even consider themselves chinese, if you want to get to know Chinese people better maybe you should go to mainland.

Some of the explaination that making sense here .. A lot of cultures are just byproducts of demographics. Just go to any overpopulated country and you'll see the same behaviours. Even in the Netherlands people can be pushy, greedy and rude, they're one of the most population dense countries in the world. Then go to Norway or Canada, and people are very self-aware and courteous. Too many people in a small area is the definition of hell. Consider moving to the country / rural area, if you can. I'm sure the people there will be nicer.

Cantonese people like HogKongers just a small part of Chinese, yes, Hongkongers and Guangdong people who speak Cantonese have worst manners we all know that.

It's not most of Hong Kong Chinese

Native Hongkong people just as rude today as it was in 1980s. Ask a question or make a comment, and you may be berated if the seller sensed that you do not appear rich and you are not buying. They expect that you just make a quick purchase. The sellers are not as friendly after a sale. The Hong Kongers are under high stress 24/7 with high living cost and crowded living. And naturally are short tempered. Today, I rather go to other places that are visitor friendly and avoid being agitated and aggravated. I can "visit" these places on KZfaq channels and buy online from the comforts of my home. I can dine at fine Cantonese restaurants in my neighborhood same taste anytime and cost less too.

Their clothing and architecture are the same as in the west.

there are just too many of them

I was just wondering, is there any place like Hong Kong that is also crowded and lots of people? How does it compare to Hong Kong? I get that the tone of Cantonese is like they're always fighting, but are most Hong Kongers really rude?

that was really good, your a geme of a speaker.

SO TRUE, SIR! I have met with MANY examples of so many incidents that you have! I lived in Nanjing for a year and saw what you are talking about. Watch that traffic in China. Re-Chinatowns; yes they spend years without learning English and don't have anything to do with you unless you are buying something.

I am in Mainland China and have also visited HK a few times. I still think mainlanders are far worse lacking manners and a proper education.

as I know most of Hong Kong people had already gone to oversea countries. in fact the Hong Kong people are not that much. many chinese you can see in Hong Kong nowaday are come from another place (many of them come from mainland of China, some of them come from Vietnam......etc) in fact the original Hong Kong people also feel their behaviour is not ok and unacceptable, so some of the oringal Hong Kong people has been complaining ,but they don't want to change their behaviour, most of them even pretending they come from Hong Kong and doing many things and say many things which is wrong, it's something really unset the Hong Kong people. as everyone speak Cantonese in Hong Kong (just like American and British English ,Mandarin speaker have to speak Cantonese in Hong Kong nowaday ) it's hard for you to recognise who are real Hong Kong people. as you know ,hk people are famous on better behaviour(behave properly as it is the original hk culture) than another chinese from other part of China. it have not changed so be hand over, but there is just many chinese who are not from UK and behave not properly. do you know how many hk people complaining those people's (they are not from hk, they mainly come from mainland of China, some of them are Vietnam )behaviour?as what they are doing is illegal in hk and not acceptable in hk. some hk people even call police as those chinese doing illegal behaviour in hk (it's ok in mainland of China but it's not ok in hk).lets say they even singing Keraoke in public places in the midnights , no matter how many times the police talk to them. anyway hope you can meet some real Hong Kong when you are in Hong Kong, so you can understand what is happen and you can ask them why, they will tell you something same sa me. thanks

Cannot agree more!

In high class shopping branded shops , u browse and not buy , u look at their faces and back stabbing !! they egoistic HK

I love to go to HKG and make a trip there 5 to 10 times a year if ever. Ones you board the Cathay Pacific airlines you will already notice what you will be up to in terms of service in HKG, Since CX has stopped recruiting Flight Attendants all over Asia and only hire Chinese HKG FA's their service and rudeness are so evident.

had hong kong neighbors both sides of my condo, worst neighbors, noisy and stuckup and one was a counterfeiter.

I rarely admire this guy of what they're saying. and I am inclined to agree your point sometimes, most people are thinking being rude is normal in their current place and influenced by the rudeness TVB star. They're cultivated too much rudeness people in the entire Hong Kong and even little kids are exactly the same. Too many disrespectful people who they're only defend their heritage and keep being language profanities all the time. I used to born in that place and that arrogance people who think they're superior all the time by playing online game, Having game card at school and even playing that stuff at computer centre. Those teens who they're in Hong Kong estate are mostly rudeness and unbelievable. Thanks for telling me the truth that I always mad about since I was born in such a misadventure outrageous. I know you weren't intended to be a racism but just telling me the truth of what I am mad about. Too many heartless relatives have such an outrageous attitude and controlling everybody like a cage animal.

Not everyone in HK is rude, But I have to admit that HK is a fast-paced and stressful place. I lived in HK for a few years before (a long time ago) and yes, some people were rude. I heard that some HK people are nice to white english-speaking people but they are rude to mainland chinese nowadays?

Hong Kong was under British rule for so long ....... Taiwan would be the better way to understand Chinese tradition
