What’s wrong with Honk Hong and South Korea ? 90% says they’re very or rather happy and thinks only 20% of their peer does. I wonder if that’s linked to a cultural thing. Any Asian expert have an idea here ?
- visarga 3y agoMuch negative bias in press and a culture of suffering?
- moffkalast 3y agoKnowing someone who grew up in HK, they're the most impossibly optimistic person I know. Maybe there's something in the food :P
- charlieyu1 3y agoFrom Hong Kong and I’m curious when this survey is conducted. Seriously I can’t imagine people being happy over the trauma the last few years

- throwaway290 3y agoYou don't have to be an Asian expert (wtf is that anyway?) to know that only people relatively well off participate in a survey. In countries with sufficient inequality those people know and see daily enough people in comparative misery around them. If survey equally sampled people who eg. live in cage homes in “honk hong” or slave away for food at salt mines in SK who knows if results would differ
