Hong Kong: Say Goodbye to Good Old Days

2016 - 09 - 25

When Hong Kong returned in 1997, Chinese government made a promise to maintain its social and political status for 50 years. Now it’s all different.

1997年香港回歸時,中國共產黨在中英聯合聲明中,附帶了一個「50年不變」的承諾。

今天,在中國共產黨之下,經濟發展前景看好,又有新聞自由、港人自治、司法獨立;是不是萬民擁戴,邁向下一個二十年?

香港人,現在都不信了。這群平常講廣東話、公司裡白領工作都用英文的,原本自視高人一等的香港朋友,現在反而覺得是二等公民了。華爾街日報這篇報導,道出了香港人今非昔比的痛

“Many Hong Kong people used to feel more superior than mainlanders because of the rule of law and freedom of speech” that characterized the city, said Yeung Ke-cheong, 35 years old, a candidate disqualified from recent elections for Hong Kong’s 70-member Legislative Council. Nearly half its seats are reserved for constituencies that represent largely pro-Beijing and business interests.

從主流新聞媒體、到港股市值最大的那些公司、到不動產開發特別是公有土地釋出、到立法會的席位、到教育體系內所允許的課綱… 北京對這個特別行政區的掌控度有什麼變化,大家都心知肚明。

今日香港並非明日台灣。台灣肉食者鄙,遠謀無方,近計無格,整體環境鐵定要再慘很久,但至少是自己造成的;驕傲的香港人,淚眼望向他們的自由,道了聲再見。

India is Not the Savior for hTC

India, a country of 1.3 billion people but with $1000 GDP per capita, has been defined as low-income economy by Wold Bank. 鴻海在印度投資上看200億美元   「……國外媒體報導,鴻海董事長郭台銘已抵達印度,除與印度新創企業會面,也將拜訪印度官員;鴻海相繼攜手阿里巴巴、小米、軟銀前進印度投資,凸顯印度在政策引領印度製造(Made in India)以外,當地內需市場擴張,同步帶動科技業軟硬整合的新契機。印度媒體hindustantimes.com等昨(9)日引述消息人士的談話指出,鴻海在印度投資規模上看200億美元(約新台幣6,246億元),郭董率領40人的代表團前往印度考察,今天計劃拜訪印度通訊部長RaviShankar Prasad,有機會簽訂資訊合作案。…… http://udn.com/news/story/7240/1046894 印度有13億人,和中國有拼,但人均GDP僅不過美元一千多,也被世界銀行定義為低收入經濟體。目前它的feature phone仍占六成,smartphone四成,內需市場的成長潛力雖不待言,但絕大多數人民所需用的手機都處於hTC不會有利潤的極低價格帶。 講低價,自然不能不講到鴻海。新任總理莫迪之競選承諾「印度製造、數位印度、潔淨印度」,配上鴻海在印度大佈局的思惟以及郭董這次揮軍印度的深度,遠遠不是只想「賣手機」的hTC所能想像。 當然,這個英語為官方語言之一的國家同樣有富裕階層,但他們心目中智慧機的高端產品,也是目前市占率還小贏hTC的Apple, Sony, 以及早已佈局在當地設了三座研發實驗室總共僱用一萬多名工程師掌握近三成市場的Samsung。 至於hTC目前在印度主攻的中階機呢?現在低價高規已成智慧機裡的全球主流;而這個擠得要命的區間裡有的是小米華為中興華碩,現在又加上了個大投資結合官方與印度業者會玩血洗市場策略的鴻海。
