Per original comment:

HK grew 700% since HANDOVER, 1997, i.e. 23 years.

HK grew 33% since CRACKDOWN, 2019, i.e. 5 years.

Please learn literacy and numeracy.



E: correction: I was off on post handover growth 250%. I used 87 gdp, not 97 gdp. Either way, stupid levels of PRC driven growth.


Today is 2025. Handover was 28 years ago not 23. So please check your math before posting.

And please show citations for your growth numbers. They don't fit to the article I posted above. Have you even read that article or is that above your pay grade?


I've lax with my math because your claims are so ridiculous. AJ article is about stock performance, which is one index of economic improvement, that we can approximate in aggregate gdp ppp, which is easily referenced. Taking more than a few seconds and brain cells to respond to retarded insinuations that HK economy did not improve since handover, when HK economy is intimately linked to PRC economy, which has exploded since, is indeed beneath "my pay grade", i.e. personal time.
