Hong Kong must abandon superiority complex over mainland China

After many years in Hong Kong, with some sadness, I left the city for greener pastures, though my link with it remains an emotional one.When I moved my two dogs across the border to Shenzhen, I was told by agents, officials, even Artificial Intelligence, that the mainland bureaucracy would be rigid and unhelpful. My experience was the opposite. The young customs officers at Shenzhen-bay" class="entity-link entity-location" data-entity-id="13093" data-entity-type="location">Shenzhen Bay answered my phone calls, gave candid advice and treated my situation – a single parent relocating with a daughter and two elderly pets – with warmth.At the crossing, the tone of the officials was almost playful: “Are they kitties or doggies?” Once it was clear the dogs had been mine for years and that their vaccinations were valid, there was no problem at all.
