I was surprised to find out that Mainlanders do consider themselves "more Chinese" than those in Hong Kong, Taiwan and certainly more so than the other Chinese ethnic populations of SouthEast Asia not to mention 2nd and 3rd etc. Generation Chinese overseas.
I find that kind of weird that they consider them somehow not quite as Chinese as they are yet at the same time I have never met anyone here that wouldn't love to go to live in especially Hong Kong and would pull up stakes in a nanosecond.
