Most Hong Kongers won't speak Mandarin out of principle (or ability), but do speak English to an extent. I find that China is a subject best left alone with Hong Kongers themselves- the responses are often so prejudiced and insular about ordinary, everyday Mainland Chinese (who have done nothing wrong and also have views on their own government akin to HKers') that I find them hard to listen to (especially as so few HKers have been to China and a lot of grandparents would have been Chinese in any case).
Oh, yes..... there's no Hong Konger like the second generation immigrant to the SAR for being bitterly anti-"Chinese"!
