The difference is HK is part of China while Peesai is being sold to the FTrash for free by the very government that is supposed to protect it. Just for the sake of perpetuating one Familee's rule. For functioning nations, the FAP Traitors would have been toppled long ago in a revolution. In Peesai, 60% gongkias still vote for them with a daft smile and murmuring, "We want more! We want more!"

http://www.tremeritus.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/prc_HK.jpg(3 Jul) – In early June, thousands of parents queued for hours
outside a school in Sheung Shui district near the border between Hong Kong and
mainland China.
The massed parents were waiting to find out whether their children had got
into their primary school of choice.
Competition for school places has become fierce as more mainland Chinese
children compete with local residents for places – and families on both sides of
the border are finding it stressful.
One Hong Kong mother whose child did not get into her school of choice
emerged with her hands covering her face to hide tears.
As local media surrounded her, she crouched down and sobbed
uncontrollably.
These images have been playing out in the local press, amid rising grievances
among Hong Kong residents over issues linked to the mainland.
The territory is governed under the principle of “one country, two systems”,
under which Hong Kong retains a high degree of autonomy for 50 years from the
British handover. Its social services, amongst other things, are seen as more
advanced than on the mainland.
Families along the border have fought in recent years over hospital beds and
baby milk formula. Now the shortage of school places is making headlines.
‘Getting worse’
The problem dates from a 2001 court ruling that gives
babies born in Hong Kong to mainland mothers the same benefits as local
residents.
From around 2006, it became a popular practice for mainland couples to come
to the territory for the birth of their children. Since then more than 180,000
children have been born to mainland parents in Hong Kong.
Now many of those children are hitting school age, but the number of school
places has not kept pace.
Last year, some 6,800 mainland students crossed the border from the Chinese
city of Shenzhen each day to go to school in Hong Kong.
