Well that's the problem isnt it? if normal TV news and mainstream newspapers only reports little of the earthquake.. then the majority of the people here will only know little bit... not everyone watches news channels.. but when they had the tsnami and 911.. it was broadcasted day and night for a week here! i'm sure just as many ppl suffer from this earthquake... why do we know only so little?
Yeah i found out her name.. Sharon Stone (just google China Karma and all you see is her name HAHA) got hammered and jobs stripped off her XD All her ads in China were taken down...

For people of this generation... British rulings are our roots. Dont forget that British took over HK for 100 years, we're born into British laws, British education, British passport, our own currency etc. We even speak a different language to China (canto vs mando). So its not just the wealth thing, but there
was actually a culture difference.
But since the last time i was in HK it was obvious the gap between china and HK is sure closing up...
