Drivers and Strategies in China's Intercity Competition for High-Skilled Migrants
The relationship between cities and talent is well documented in urban economics and human geography. However, existing literature primarily examines how high-skilled migration policies, coupled with jobs and amenities, shape the spatial distribution of talents. In contrast, little research has explored the origins and rationale behind these policies, particularly amid the emerging “talent war” between Chinese cities. Drawing upon a comprehensive…
Procedure Matters
Natives who dislike immigrants prefer restrictive immigration policies, but do those policies deepen or alleviate anti-immigrant attitudes? Existing theories have offered mixed predictions. Restrictions imposed on immigrants may harden intergroup boundaries and thus deepen hostilities. However, they may also soften attitudes by addressing the economic and identity concerns of natives. Using a conjoint experiment conducted in Hong Kong, I test the…
Here for good? The unique nature of public attitudes toward highly skilled immigrants in Hong Kong
Most studies on immigration attitudes assume that natives overwhelmingly welcome highly skilled immigrants. I argue that this assumption, which commonly focuses on the economic benefits of immigrants' skills, is problematic for two reasons. First, it neglects the incentives and conditions that countries need to offer to win talent. Second, natives prioritize different moral principles when evaluating high- and low-skilled immigrants. Based on 54 …
A New Survey Instrument for Tracking Public Opinion on Social Inclusion
How Nation Building Backfires
An intriguing phenomenon documented within political science research is the association between nation‐building programs and increased subnational intergroup conflicts. Based on data collected in Hong Kong, an epicenter of subnational conflicts in China, this article suggests that nation building may intensify the tension between subnational groups because it helps to spread the belief that groups have fixed inherent characteristics. Specificall…
Explaining Chinese identification in Hong Kong
Hong Kong is an epicentre of identity conflicts in China. While numerous accounts have been proposed to explain the rise of "localism", few have explained why many Hong Kong Chinese have maintained their ethnic identification with China. Based on an original survey of a representative sample of the population and an experiment conducted among college students, this article advances a novel explanation, arguing that people who perceive the core ch…
Explaining attitudes toward immigrants from Mainland China in Hong Kong
The tension between immigrants from Mainland China and Hong Kong locals has intensified in recent years. Using an original telephone survey that interviewed a representative sample of the Hong Kong population, this article evaluates three major explanations—economic self-interest, sociotropic concerns and psychological dispositions—for anti-immigrant sentiments. The findings suggest that negative attitudes toward immigrants are significantly rela…
Superimpose Material Deprivation Study on Poverty Old Age People in Hong Kong Study
Welcoming Immigrants with Similar Occupational Interests
Recent studies in America and Europe suggest that individual economic self-interest plays little role in explaining individual attitudes towards immigrants. A key piece of evidence for this proposition is that natives do not show particular hostility towards immigrants whose skill levels are similar to their own. We conducted an experimental survey of Hong Kong residents to examine their attitudes towards immigrants from Mainland China. We found …
Massification without equalisation
This article explains why the massification of higher education in Hong Kong has, contrary to the predictions of received wisdom, failed to enhance the upward social mobility of the youth in the city. Building upon recent literature in political science, it argues that massification can take different forms, which in turn determine the effects of massification on various social groups. Through exploring three critical phases in the city’s higher …
Exclusionary attitudes toward the allocation of welfare benefits to Chinese immigrants in Hong Kong
Studies on migration often assume that members of the same ethnic category are less likely to develop exclusionary attitudes toward each other. In order to explain why many Hong Kong people exhibit exclusionary attitudes toward granting social rights to Chinese immigrants who share the same ethnic ancestry with them, we conducted a phone survey to examine four important factors: (1) economic threat; (2) social threat; (3) negative stereotypes; an…
Profit Seeking and Intergroup Conflict in Hong Kong
Following a court ruling that babies born to mainlanders in Hong Kong are permanent residents, private hospitals cashed in by expanding services and raising fees, leading to an outburst of anti–mainland Chinese sentiment. This study challenges conventional accounts of intergroup conflicts highlighting economic contradictions between in-group and out-group or faulting the state for blaming local problems on the out-group
Trends in Elderly Poverty in Hong Kong
Effects of Perceived Discrimination on the Quality of Life Among New Mainland Chinese Immigrants to Hong Kong
Defining Correctness
Chinese dictionaries have long been an important tool for promoting the political agenda of the state. Not much has changed in the twenty-first century. A conventional assumption is that dictionary compilation has been controlled by the state. An examination of the history of the Contemporary Chinese Dictionary 现代汉语词典 suggests that such a claim is exaggerated. While the state was indeed actively involved in the compilation of the dictionary befor…
Homeownership and Political Legitimacy
Widespread homeownership has traditionally been considered a favourable factor for the stability of democracies in Europe and America. Analysis of variance in perceived legitimacy between Singapore and Hong Kong suggests that the stabilising effect of widespread homeownership does not only apply to democracies, but also to authoritarian regimes. This article proposes that a regime, be it democratic or not, tends to enjoy a higher level of legitim…
