Talk:Americans in Hong Kong

This needs a lot of work
1st para: What source says “most Americans in Hong Kong are not permanent residents” and why is this for some reason followed by “and continue to hold single citizenship.” ? Residency rights and citizenship are unrelated, in this context.

2nd para: One sentence about pre-1949 Hong Kong? “Inadequate” doesn’t seem,. . . adequate, somehow, especially given the extensive references listed below.

3rd para: What evidence is that there are more Americans than Brits living in HK? Please don’t cite government data, since it does not count permanent residents as foreign nationals (which is why there was such a “decline” post-1997: the law changed to allow non-Chinese to become permanent residents). Oh, and Eden Woon hasn’t been head of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce (actually, he was CEO, not “head”) for two years.

Why are the Notable Americans in Hong Kong all ethnic Chinese? Doesn't Jim Thompson, count?

Languages
Shall we list all possible languages that some random American living in Hong Kong might speak, or shall we just drop the category of languages all together? DOR (ex-HK) (talk) 20:27, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
