This blog has an insincere, sarcastic, nagging tone. It leans heavily on faultfinding.

        If you want to know how the people and movers-and-shakers of the past HK establishment, how the colonial power see Hong Kong, China and the Chinese before 1997, reading the entries and readers' comments in this blog would give you a pretty good idea. You will find these people's collective attitude toward the Chinese stays much the same as before, even a decade after the Handover.

        And if you put aside all the entries of the trifling remarks on this blogger's own daily life, all his quaint short reviews on HK restaurants, concerts of Western artists and major motion pictures, and read between the lines in some of the exchanged messages the blogger has with his expat readers, you could see the mind-set of these orphans of colonialism.

        Since the two cultures are different and these people's national interests are affected by the emerging influence of China, the important issues on their minds are definitely not the same as the HK Chinese natives'. The possibility of a strong, prosperous, and united China is a warning to them, not a source of pride.

        Now that they are out of power and out of the loop, it's sad to see they resort to nitpicking and making constant complaints. And they grow grumpy, cynical, and petty.
