Hong Kongers Protest Plan Allowing Mainlanders to Visit by Car

by on Tuesday, February 14, 2012 164 comments

Hong Kongers protesting a proposed plan to allow mainland tourists to be able to drive their cars directly into Hong Kong.

On Sunday, February 12th, hundreds of Hong Kongers descended on Victoria Park carrying signs and shouting slogans in an organized protest against a government plan that would allow Mainland tourists to drive their cars into the city when visiting Hong Kong.

Organized on Facebook, ostensibly to further distinguish themselves against the censored, “backwards” Mainland, the protestors rallied support via an event page “Everyone Resist  Mainland Cars Coming to Hong Kong!” Aside from advertising the rally, users took the liberty of linking harrowing news stories of Mainland accidents and posting grisly pictures of car crashes. Over 7,000 people pledged to attend the rally, though on the day of the event only an estimated 500 arrived.

The proposal itself is a two-stage plan that would first allow Hong Kongers to drive to the Mainland beginning in March, but as of yet has no clear date on when Mainlanders would be allowed to drive into Hong Kong.  The Hong Kong government hopes the proposal will promote economic and social integration of Hong Kong into the Pearl River Delta region and further stimulate a booming tourism trade that rakes in billions of HKD every year from an ever increasing Mainland middle class.

Despite the potential economic benefits, Hong Kongers remain worried that allowing locusts Mainlanders to drive their cars into Hong Kong will exacerbate congestion and pollution problems, as well as increase the number of accidents due to a perceived lack of regulation on Mainland roads.

Bonus: In true style of any internet organized protest, spot the Guy Fawkes mask!

    Yeah, I would not want Chinese driving across my border either. Although this seems like a blatant generalization, people up north really need to learn how to drive before they try driving in Hong Kong.

        p.s. To be honest the way people drive in China, I wouldn’t let them drive anywhere – not even in China.

          Seriously, my boss in Shen Zhen always left his left turn signal on when in the leftmost lane on the highway. I always assumed he just forgot about it, so one day I reminded him that it was on.

          “No, I need to keep it on,” he replied, “so that the other cars know I’m not going to change lanes.”

          I’m sure you can imagine my very Caucasian, very Canadian response to this. It looked a little bit like O.o

    Strongly agree. Keep the locusts out, especially when they’re behind the wheel.

    Mainlanders cannot, I repeat cannot drive well.

    In fact they shouldn’t be allowed to drive in their own country.

    It rains – they speed up. It’s foggy – they speed up. It’s smaller than them – shunt it off the road. The list goes on.

    Locusts stay out of HK.

    Sadly, it’s true.
    I witnessed a Chinese woman get her car stuck on a curb in Tsim Sha Tsui last month. It was literally hanging/suspended on the curb. Goddamn.

    It was one of those 8-seater mini-vans.
    So like, this time it was a curb, next time it may be a kid you know.

        I think the biggest (and worst) thing about the Yue Yue video is that they DID notice the little girl….and did sweet FA about it…In fact, the second driver noticed her BEFORE hitting her..Imagine they could also then drive off into another legal jurisdiction and you can see why HKers dont want mainlander drivers around..

    Unfortunately, they are, for once, absolutely right.
    I don’t know how well or bad HKers drive, but mainlanders literally buy their driving licenses!

    Even the ones who actually pass them have no clue about what they’re doing. I’ve been explained by a student-driver that her teacher was explicitely recommending her to honk at cross-section instead of slowing down when she estimated it is inconvenient, and I can’t recall how many times I’ve seen school-cars behaving erratically… with the teacher behind the wheel!

    I cannot but support them! If that pisses off mainlanders, let’s have them do their homework and protest to get enforced rules and real driving teaching at home!

      The one skill tested at driving school is the ability to suck up to a Chinese driving teacher. Teachers at shitty private institutions in China tend to just be blow-hard idiots who want people to value what they say, even though they talk shit. The way you pass is by bringing them cigarettes and telling them how great they are, otherwise you can’t get your lesson and you can’t finish the course.

    This reminds me of the Texan family that used to live down the road from me. They used to ride horses on congested streets messing up traffic and our little suburbia became irate that they refused to use the bike trail.

    In the end though. I see how more cars would be a problem in an already congested city, but at the same time. These are your neighbors.

    We made a mistake with Cuba. Peace is always a better option in the long run. There are 190 nations waiting in line to take China or the US’ places in the world. We count every potential friend as a blessing.

    Only 500 people decided to come out and display their xenophobia for the world? Yeah this is a real populist movement. It’s fucking pathetic.

    We, too, kick up a fuss when a small bunch of bigots decide to hold a “rally” against the immigrant du jour, mostly because of our middle class paranoia so finely attuned to this kind of crap. It usually fizzles out pretty quickly. I don’t even know why we bother most of the time.

      Hell, if you think Guangzhou drivers are bad, you should deal with Chengdu and Kunming drivers. When I lived in Kunming years ago, I would see drivers hit their car horns repeatedly as if pedestrians were blocking their way when there was no one walking on the street for at least 80, 90, or more meters.

      As for Chengdu drivers, let’s say just say i was in the back row of a police SVU — not as an arrested perp, but because I was traveling with someone who was a childhood friend of the Chengdu Airport police chief’s best friend (guanxi at work). Well, anyways, this cop goes straight thru a red light at one the busiest downtown intersections at the height of the evening rush hour without a single tap on the breaks. I nearly had a heart attack. And the cop directing traffic just about lost it too.

      The two don’t seem to be mutually exclusive when I think of how taxi drives in mainland China drive.

      Am I the only person who wonders why taxis don’t even allow you the choice of wearing your seat belt while in the back seat? It isn’t bad enough that so many of these drivers are lunatics behind the wheel. They also have to have the belt hidden down under the seat so you cant even opt’ to use them if you, say, DID value you own life.

        Sorry mate, a locust will remain a locust forever. Heard the term “the Ugly American” – it referred to Americans behaving badly whilst abroad.

        The term now is “the Ugly Chinaman”. Everybody I’ve spoken to in my travels despises the locusts travelling through their country, or setting up shop.

        The Chinese are a thoroughly hated nation. And once the bubble pops and the empire crumbles, as it does periodically, its back to bowls of rice and back-stabbing for evening entertainment.

You little englandmen and your sad little island don’t matter anymore. And the people you’ve spoken to matter even less when a cash flush mainlander shows up and they bend over backwards to please him. Sure they can badmouth all they want but they’ll dance like little monkies for a scrap of meat from the table. Rather than worry about about China’s bubble popping, worry about your country being converted to Islam. Now THAT is funny.

          Also, if things in Hong Kong get out of hand and they get too big for their britches (undoubtedly with the goading of expat foreigners), the PLA garrison may be unleashed to clean house. China’s patience is finite.

      Because Macau has been completely taken over, there is a critical mass of mainlanders living there so there are not enough actual ‘Macauians’ left to complain, the ones that are left are fighting just to put food on the table and don’t have time for this. They hardly even use traditional characters anymore and the culture has been anhilated.

      Maybe that’s why HKers don’t want to be swamped in the first place…

The instructor taught him how to get tne car moving forward and backward and then said: “Ok,you can drive home now,best way to learn is by getting out on the road.” I think they had a few fender benders, but are still driving.

      No, Hong Kong is supposed to be a completely autonomous region and it is (government, politics, laws, economy, culture, etc.)

      Even if this were not true, having the fucking mainlanders drive in Hong Kong would be just a terrible idea through and through.

      Not only would it massively increase the congestion and air pollution, but it would be a serious danger to everyone in Hong Kong, drivers and pedestrians alike.

      Can you imagine one of them at a round-about? Or driving down the wrong side (cause more congestion while a friendly Hong Kong police officer has to explain to the spitting, swearing “my friend/father/uncle is Mr. important guy” idiot that he actually has to follow the law)? Or running over a slew of pedestrians crossing the street at a crossing without any traffic lights (“I’m in the car, I’m bigger, so I have the right-of-away”)

      I am foreigner in Chian almost 4 years. Chinese drives bad because the basics rules they learn are:
      ” cars are more important than pedestrians” , “when driving others drivers or cars are not important” , ..all this selfish way to drive its also in normal in china daily life, they just dont mind when taking the bus,metro or elevator, and i see very hard it will change, even they do a new test , they will fail on the road just because is they way they are. Anyway, i dont see many important car incidents here.But , wait a moment, i see here in Shenzhen already since more than 2 years hong kong cars driving on the streets with 2 plates.. I think here there is something missing, as i know hong kong people already can drive this side if they pay the shenzhen license plate fee.
      I think not allow chinese people drive in HK is a big mistake, is racist and its showing how close of mind people can be, people must be able to drive in hk in china, at any place if they already have the prerequisites to drive. here HK people are judging before the start. where is the “innocent until proved guilty”.
      This just sucks, so i call all countries in the world dont allow HK people to drive on their roads , first, because they drive by the left, and secondly because the xenophobic actions they have..but of course .. they are …perfect…

      If the police enforced the regulations with absolute justice, then soon we’ll wind up with Internet posts whining about how “discriminatory” the Hong Kong Police are. I can see it now- “why do they pull over so many mainlanders?” As usual, everyone will be talking in circles to deny the true answer- “because we drive like total assholes.”
      I can even envision Kong Qingdong coming out to say that any HK policeman who pulls over a Chinese is a running dog of the British imperialists.

        And yet, you are here, talking in a small circle about how apparently every mainlander is unfit to drive in your traffic haven of HK, where it seems everyone is trained by Jenson Button. I don’t get how such an international city as HK would have so many intolerant and bigotted individuals- and that the society somehow tacitly approves of such things.

        Are you really afraid of these potential internet posts? So what? Clueless dumb fucks from the mainland will be clueless and dumb. Pay no attention to them and enforce your laws correctly. What are you scared of them? Are you scared of some little words on the internet? Kong Qingdong is a dumbass who’s not being taken seriously even in his own university. If dipshit mainland drivers are complaining about being punished in HK for offenses they’ve caused, then you’re doing something right. Grow a pair. Jesus.

            I think you missed the part where mainlanders don’t actually do a test for their licence, and HKers certainly *DO* – to international standards and with the ICAC watching.

            If mainlanders are allowed to drive in HK there WILL be men women and children run over by them because they don’t know how to follow the rules.

            If they actually have to do a HK based driving test first to prove they can actually follow the rules and not kill anyone then fine, but that’s not the plan.

            HKers just don’t want their city to continue reverting from being ‘devloped’ into ‘devloping’ which, like it or not, is exactly what is currently happening with the influx of mainlanders.

          …. and don’t buy for the whole ‘HKers are great drivers and follows all the rules, HK police are paragons of virtue and professionalism, blah, blah ..’. In fact, HKers are terrible drivers and their police are largely incompetent and venal. Maybe not as bad as mainlanders but, hey, HKers had 150 years of British rule; you think they would have learned something.

          I have seen any number of drivers speeding through neighbourhoods with schools and children around not looking where they are driving, turning without using their indicator or lazily leaving the indicator on while driving through an intersection, backing up without looking, changing lanes without looking in their mirrors or indicating, drifting between lanes on highways, etc.

          Again, as with the whole ‘manners’ on the MTR, IMO, Mainland-HK=same-same. It’s just a question of degree not quality.

    Well this is a public safety issue. Mainland drivers only obey the rules on the road when it is convenient to do so. This is not a “perception” issue as the article claims, it is a real daily observable fact.

    While we can tolerate the Mainland nevou rich swanning it around Ocean Terminal splashing their cash and being rude on the MTR. It is another thing when some 4 year old gets splatted by some clueless mainland driver. When that does happen there will no end of public outrage here.

    In short it is just not going to happen at all. The Central Gov is preoccupied with stability and I am certain that adding more fuel to the smoldering fire here will not be in their best interests.

    If you let China tourists drive to Hong Kong

    …they will park their car on the Tsing Ma bridge for sightseeing. They will not care about jamming the traffic.

    …they will drive 20km/h on the highway, just for sightseeing or trying to find their way to Disneyland.

    …they will accidentally drive on the “right” side of the road.

    …they will be able to smuggle a lot more IPADS and IPHONES to China… which is actually good for the Hong Kong Economy… hell, let them come~!

    What if, mainland drivers required to become certified for driving in HK at their own expense. Then when they return back to the mainland, they will obviously be smug about their certification and elitist HK driving skills. This will be the incentive to improve driving on the mainland, courtesy of HK.

And the worst drivers of them all are there own police, no way this bunch of peasents should ever be allowed to drive in a civilized country.

    Hong Kong traffic is already congested, I do not see how this is going to help the situation. Mainland China is trying hard to promote public transport, still many Chinese would rather drive. Should encourage more people to use public transport. Put aside the rest of the issues like driving recklessly or Chinese people do not obey traffic rules, etc; these reasons have some degree of stereotyping.

      Chinese drivers are horrible and need to be retrained badly. I feel very sorry for Hong Kong. I can’t imagine what will happen to the one lane road near Ocean parks bus route. Oh sweet jesus.

      When I first came to China I had optimism thinking the stereotype was false, but it’s totally accurate. Crossing the yellow/double and even triple parking at the norm. Honking every five seconds for shits. my favorite memory is when I saw two cars on a one way street (cars parked on both sides, fucking eh) and both cars sat there honking and yelling for ten minuets. No wonder none of you can land a female foreigner.

      Why stop just at Hongkies? With you way of thinking the whole world could be in that target category. But do you real want a world that’s filled by cancer water, that only has people who are bad drivers, pedophile rapists? Who believe in murder, and violating other men’s balls? That would be a pretty bleak world. If i was a panda in that world, I would be a fairly sad panda. I r sad panda. I would eat bamboos and get obese, because i am a moody eater. So that world would probably have lots of fat pandas too. That might balance out the bleakness, cus FAT PANDAS are AWESOME!!

    A few days ago I was crossing the street in BJ. A driver in a SUV comes around the corner. I was about 6 feet from reaching the other side. The driver (obviously important in his/her own mind) cuts in front of me to make a right hand turn, I guess to remind me that I have no car therefore not important. This person almost drove onto the sidewalk just to get where they were going. Anyone that was mildly educated would have just went around behind me instead of in front of me. But this is Mainland thinking, ME FIRST ALWAYS.

      What kind of communist indoctrination caused you to think that ME FIRST ALWAYS is wrong?? You think Ford would’ve invented the first mass produced car if he didn’t think about himself first??
      Rule of thumb is this in the real world.. Moving metal weighting more than 1000 lbs moving over 10km/h vs fat panda = Moving metal heavy thingy wins. Pretty simple equation right?? now a panda is probably 3 to 4 times the weight of a human.. so if Moving Metal vs Panda= Metal wins, Moving Metal vs human = Epic win for moving metal SUV or car or plane or Man of steel( I know who you are thinking about, but it’s not Stalin. I was referring to Superman) so yea.. mild education.. taught us that panda is tough but car is tougher (i would still probably bet money on Stalin in a fist fight between him and a panda, unless the panda is kung fu panda.. then Stalin would have to be drunk to win.. Drunken fist of STEEL!!!) History class taught us that Henry Ford, a farmer, rose to become one of the most successful industrialist of 20th century by the ME FIRST FUCK EVERYONE way of thinking. So why would you frown upon people’s aspirations? Equal opportunity for all no? They even teach that in Communism, as all are equal.. so that’s just not nice of you. I mean who wouldn’t want to be like Henry Ford? It’s only natural that everyone wants to be more like Ford.

      Not all overseas cantonese speaking chinese are from HK. Most are from Guangdong. With any given population, some of them are rude. The difference in the rudeness is mainland cantonese have bad manners in a hill billy, country bumpkin way. No self awareness or desire to assimilate to basic societal norms in their current environment. On the other hand, HK cantonese value having face within the context of society a whole lot more so they are rude in a more snobby and stuck up way.

      If you are living overseas, you should see that there is a world of difference between the areas mainland cantonese and HK cantonese have settled in. For example, dingy Chinatowns founded by the taishanese vs HK style malls. As for the housing issue, the mainland nouveau riche have done more damage than the HKers because they are a larger group with more buying power. In the last 5 years, housing prices have almost tripled from $200k to almost $600k with no end in sight.

      HKers are HKers; no identity crisis going on. They shouldn’t be forced to identify with what they are not. Americans and Canadians are pretty similar as well but if you try to lump the two together, you’re going to get a lot of protests.

    The proposal would allow 50 Mainland vehicles to Hong Kong per day and all drivers have to have special permit to enter HK. In addition all driver must pass a “HK Road Safety Test” familiarizing themselves with traffic rules in HK and getting used to drive on the other side of the road. 50 HK cars per day would also be allowed to drive on the Mainland. It’s true that mainland driver’s skills are pretty bad on the Mainland, but HK has much more double- plate vehicles crossing into HK than the proposed 50 single- plate cars. None of those double- plate vehicles have been involved in any serious accidents (with injury or fatality) in HK so far. Of all the double- plate cars driving on the Mainland the driving skills of HK-Mainland Shuttle cars is not much better than any Mainland driver. It seems that as soon HK drivers hit the Mainland the adopt their Mainland counterpart’s driving skills. The protest is just another expression of HK people feeling superior in their culture, driving skills, etc. towards the Mainland. That may be so, but HKer’s should think who is keeping their economy going.

        Back to the Mainland drivers flooding HK scare debacle. Apart from public safety, though HK has a low number of cars per person compared to other countries, it has a very high number of cars per km of highway. Thus more mainland sightseers means more crowded roads means more local air pollution.

        So I suggest they take the bus like everyone else in this fair city.

        Those with money can actually do whatever they want. Some refrain to do so, others don’t. But at the end of the day there’s nothing that poor people can do about it.

        Ordinary HKers got a sense of entitlement like they are special, need to be protected in their little bubble, like some sort of hangover from their colonial past. But really, they are just poor and frustrated like the rest of the poorfags of the world. If those idiots were campaining to stop all mainland tourists from entering then you would be all against that, as it will negatively impact your economy. Because at the end of the day, they are bringing in the cash, and HK is run on nothing but cash.

        Get used to it! HK will always bow down to those with money to spend. You’re no different from anywhere else in the world- there’s no need to put yourself on a pedistal, you’re just going to look all the more rediculous when you fall flat on your face.

    The funniest thing I saw in Beijing was a woman stuck on a flight of stairs in her car. She’d been exiting a car park, and obviously thought she was heading for the ramp that would let her exit the mini car park and drive out on to the road. But no, she’d headed for the small flight of stairs that took pedestrians from the mini car park down to the pavement. Idiot. She had to keep driving down the stairs while everyone watched. Must have wrecked her car.

    I feel for HK. Mainlander drivers believe cars are more important than people.

      Woman Driver!…Can’t let a woman get behind the wheel…(Oh, wait we were generalising against mainlanders, weren’t we?)

      Mainlander Driver! ( Still seems like an over-generalisation)

      Idiot Driver (ah, that’s better……)

    I introduce the inner-workings of a Mainlander while driving:

    I am the most important thing in existence and my car is an extension of me.
    Everyone and everything else on this road is an inconvenience that I must obnoxious honk my horn or speed up to remove.
    Rules don’t apply to me, they are just for everyone else to follow while I get ahead.
    Wearing a seat belt in my car is an insult to my driving ability and thus losing face and I just can’t have it.
    Every space large enough to fit my car is a parking space, that includes your front lawn (if you had one).
    When I hit someone it is best to make certain they are dead so they don’t sue me or rush off in a panic hoping they don’t copy down my license plate.

    This is who I am. This is why I shouldn’t be allowed into drive my car in Hong Kong.

    Mainlanders are generally idiots when they drive!
    INSULTED? Good! should be! nyagh!
    they should not be allowed to drive in any country.
    I fully support the “Honkies” on banning mainlanders from driving in HK.
    reasons
    skill level
    diligence
    legalities
    until responsible driving is practiced in mainland they should be banned from driving in other countries – they drive like idiots!
    HK people don’t want people run over two two three times by these cold hearted zombies!
    overseas chinese would unanimously agree.

    As much as people complain and whine about Mainlanders coming to Hong Kong, expect the trend to continue and accelerate. There’s NOTHING any of you can do about it other than whine. China says it will happen and the PLA garrison in Hong Kong will ensure that it does. Hahahaha

    These Hongkongers need to be executed. I do not understand why the Chinese government even puts up with this type of bullshit. After 1997 the CCP should have immediately reintegrated hong kong back into the mainland. Repave roads to drive on the right etc. These Hong Kong people clearly don’t see themselves as Chinese anymore after 150 years of sucking the white man’s dick. May they leave our glorious country and never come back.

    This is a great site to see hker and mainlanders bombing and flaming each other, almost each post is full of racism and posted by some uncivilized crap that owns a computer, stereotyping all mainlanders is probally the only part of life hkers enjoy, and maybe mainlanders spamming around as stress releaf makes them nice and high. To all chinese here (im chinese as well) stop bombing each other and get a life, bombing wont solve anything, i cant believe therer still so many uncivilized racial chinese out there stereotyping all mainlanders calling them locusts, some of them are annoying but hkers aren’t any better, speaking loud in public like koreans and iscolating others not learning english isnt any better than driving recklessly like a retard.
    btw mainlanders do drive like insane wizards, mayb due to the fact that china is overpopulated and many pedestrians dont give a shit to traffic lights, in my humble oppinion china should refine its laws and all associated crap. driving around like headless flies will put everyone at risk, so thats y its easy to differenciate drivers in australia by their looks, ignoring red lights=FOB driver lol

    I’ve lived in Qingdao for 5 years and i have to agree with the HK protesters. I hate the way people drive here… running lights, honking horns, driving too fast or just parking on the sidewalks as if they are parking lots so that pedestrians have to walk in the streets. They are so rude and self-centred and the police could care less. I wouldn’t want mainland drivers to drive anywhere. There are already far too many of them.

    I wonder how many HK people feel China pride VS HK pride. Mainlanders seem to think Bruce Lee was Mr. China, but I’ve read that he didn’t really have much to do with the mainland.

    Recently, it seems that conflict between Hong Hongers & Mainlanders is getting increasingly fierce, from the insult of Mr. Kong to the Hong Kongers’ protest aganist mailanders’ driving cars to Hong Kong on tour. We cannot deny that mainlanders’ traffic safety awaress is still waiting for further enhancement and the explosive increasing amount of mainlanders is expected to trigger traffic jam or even traffic accidents in Hong Kong. However, the consolidation between Hong Kongers and mainlanders should be considered to be further enhanced, for the simple reason that we are all Chinese people.
