The number of Hongkongers who say they want to move to mainland China has nearly doubled over the last two years, according to a recent survey published by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The survey found that about 20 per cent of city residents were eyeing a move across the border, a significant rise from the 11 per cent recorded in a  2022 poll.
