Hong Kong economical refugees

Before the takeover, a lot of the richer HK middle class go to Canada, Australia, Britain... But not to the USA as they're not political refugees. They doubled the price of Vancouver real estate. If you pay me double the price of my house, I do not complain but the current renters would. Vancouver is such a nice place to live with the climate, the nice folks, fresh air and water, beautiful scenery...and now the best Chinese food (at least the safest).

Many move the children offshore but still work in HK due to many money-making opportunities in HK. They're termed as 'astronauts' flying between HK and the adopted land. Many of their children are in their early 30s and they're doing pretty good with the best of both worlds. Many return to HK for good jobs and some even become movie stars (most likely they cannot find a job in Hollywood besides serving coffee).
