According to relevant statistics, approximately 7,200 people emigrated from Hong Kong in 2009, a decrease of 1,900 from 2008, marking a new low since Hong Kong's return to the motherland in 1997.
According to the Hong Kong Sing Tao Daily, the Hong Kong Security Bureau estimates that among those emigrating from Hong Kong, nearly half choose to move to the United States, followed by Australia and Canada.
Immigration consultants analyze that the financial crisis has impacted the global economy, with Europe and the United States just beginning to recover, while the Chinese market still has room for expansion. Currently, many Hong Kong residents are choosing to develop in mainland China, and it is estimated that the number of people emigrating overseas will continue to decline.
