TAINAN, Taiwan - Kitty Wong and Adolf Yim, both from Hong Kong, are finalizing work on a hostel in Taiwan’s southern city of Tainan that they hope will open its doors to holiday-makers next month.
This is the third hostel they are opening after arriving in 2016. The couple is part of a small but growing number of people from Hong Kong who have moved to Taiwan in recent years, many of them in search of a lower cost of living and worried about Beijing’s tightening control over the former British colony, which was given special autonomy under Chinese rule in 1997.
“As they are unable to attack Uncle Xi , they go ahead and attack tourists,” Yim said, referring to the attitude of some Hong Kongers to mainland visitors, who are often resented for their perceived poor manners.Concern in Hong Kong about Chinese control has escalated again this month with massive protests against legislation that would allow people in the territory to be extradited to mainland China for trial, a backlash that led Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam to shelve the bill.
Many Hong Kong people ask about the possibility of gaining citizenship in Taiwan as investors, she said.
