I think there will be slight effect on the appreciation of RMB, did you guy remeber the day when HK$ was once 20% higher than RMB?

Playing in big 6, price count merely on the beginning stage when hk men started raiding the place. We now get used to the way of nightlife there, the culture of mainland girls and the way to deal with the mainlanders. Some of us have friends and even family there, big 6 becomes important part of our life.

Earning RMB or when the time HK$ got hooked with RMB instead of US$ will ease the situation.

"Decoupling" will never happen especially in this highly globalized era, regional economies are inter-woven, like the increased demand for raw materials in China over the decade pushes up the commodity prices all over the world.

The proportion of export and local consumption for China GDP is 60-40, that means the worldwide melt-down will affect China immediately. However, the government is pushing hard to stimulate local consumption in hope for reducing the reliance on export, especially those low value- adding OEM export. It takes time for moving up the value chain, short term trauma is expected, but we will for sure recover much faster than the other regions.

What are we discussing,,,?
