Why did the Hong Kong people leave Hong Kong and go to other nations such as Canada and Australia when the Chinese took over in 1997?
Many of the citizens of Hong Kong were concerned that they would lose basic freedoms under Chinese control. While they were under British control, they enjoyed certain societal, religious and economic freedoms that they could not be sure of retaining under China. Their best option, as they saw it, was to escape to westernised nations. Many people immigrated to other countries because there was a lot of uncertainty about how useful a Hong Kong issued British National Overseas (BNO) Passport would be once Hong Kong became part of China. A lot of people wanted to become a citizen in another country like Canada or the United States so that if there were any problems or major issues during or after the handover, they could leave the Hong Kong without fear of repatriation or Visa issues.
