@papa_pt In the past, as a British colony, Hong Kong was once a thriving port city closest to mainland China, (while the mainland was still dirt-poor at that time) Today however, times have changed and Hong Kong has since fallen behind other rising mainland port cities like Shanghai, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Ningbo-Zhousan and is facing increasing competition from upcoming mainland cities like Qingdao, Tianjin, Xiamen, Dalian, etc.

And this is in spite of mainland cities being under CCP leadership, whereas Hong Kong is under their own democratic government. No wonder why the Hong Kong people feel like they're being left behind as mainland cities start surpassing them.

Taiwan had been under authoritarian single-party KMT rule for more than half its life. For decades the KMT ruled Taiwan with iron fist and Chiang kai-shek was a dictator who jailed and executed dissidents and political rivals (whether real or perceived) in a period known as White Terror (白色恐怖) and imposed martial law on Taiwan for more than 38 years, which was qualified as "the longest imposition of martial law by a regime anywhere in the world" at that time.
But under authoritarian single-party KMT rule, Taiwan actually flourished and prospered, in what's known as the Taiwan Miracle (台湾奇迹). Between 1952 – 1982, Taiwan's economic growth was on average 8.7%, and between 1983 – 1986 at 6.9%. Taiwan GDP grew by 360% between 1965 – 1986. The percentage of global exports was over 2% in 1986, over other recently industrialized countries, and the global industrial production output grew a further 680% between 1965 – 1986. And its all been achieved under KMT leadership.
Only in the late 1990s, when democracy was introduced (because USA threatened to cut off weapons sales to Taiwan) did Taiwan's economic growth became more modest. Since then, Taiwan's economy has stagnated, wages are stagnant, cost of living is rising, unemployment is rising and Taiwan graduates are increasingly seeking jobs abroad, such as in Singapore or mainland China.

@EuriEuropa China's ghost cities are slowly being filled up. For example, in 2011, London’s Daily Mail reported that the Zhengzhou New Area was China’s largest ghost city, but today, the city has a population of 10,120,000 inhabitants, and had a GDP of 1,014 billion(RMB) in 2018. Don't believe me? Check out this beautiful video of Zhengzhou: youtube.com/watch?v=jFdLkgDS-QE&t=8 (Suggestion: Watch in HD Fullscreen for the best experience)
Every year, there are millions of people migrating from the rural countryside in China to the urban centers to find jobs, and slowly, our cities are getting filled up. It just takes times that's all.
