The construction professionals and engineers from Mainland China is making
use of their connections with some Chinese government officials to seize the
jobs of the local professionals in Hong Kong. I have seen engineers from
Mainland China to enjoy their long training period in Hong Kong and do
nothing!!! An engineer from mainland did say that I should migrate to other
countries such as US.

The English communication skills of the management personnel and the
engineers from Mainland China is bad. Therefore, they compel the local
personnel to communicate in Putonghua. However, English is the international
language and it is the best language, in which the personnel communicate
with one another in the construction sector. Many technical references and
research papers are in English and it is clearly impractical to translate
them all into Chinese. Also, the quality of the translation is very
important and it should only be carried out by professionals who know the
relevant subjects well. We cannot rely on translators with just degrees in
translation. As such, the cost of such translation is inevitably high.

The building professionals and engineers from Mainland should go back to
Mainland, as many local professionals, who are more competent, cannot find
suitable jobs in Hong Kong. Why should we make a fuss to have the local
construction professionals in Hong Kong work in Mainland!!! They have
families in Hong Kong and may have to take care of their parents!!!!! Please
don't split up their families!!!
