The global financial crisis is hitting the poor in Hong Kong.

As Al Jazeera's Aela Callan reports, the number of homeless is rising as more workers are laid off.

  • seems like you know nothing about hong kong society.

  • India's economy thrived? Thats why at the end of British rule its share of world GDP was significantly lower than at the beginning? Nevermind the millions of peasants who died of starvation under British rule, something that has not happened after the Brits left. Nevermind the British destroying Indian cotton industry that was underselling British products therefore threatening the Industrial Revolution. The UK used India as a tax base to finance its empire, and export its goods. No more myths!

  • That bed system is BRILLIANT

  • hmm..

    how can we assist these jobless people in hong kong ... ??????

  • @neonaction The rent is overstated in this video. US$200 is enough to rent a ten sq. meters room with a decent toilet. That cage costs around US$75 a month at max.

  • @madass888 well libertarianism wasn't the sole reason hong kong was prosperous, under communist rule Hong Kong was the only open port in China.

  • a cage cost $200 dollars a month?! Damn, fuck hong kong rent!

  • @madass888 Do you have any proof unemployment was caused by government??

  • @solidysnake1

    No, without economic libertarianism Hong Kong would be nothing. It's incredibly small and has no resources at all. It's just amazing that it has one the strongest economies in the world and it's all thanks to economic freedom.

    Funny thing is that the global economic crisis causing these people losing their jobs, is because of (United States) government.

  • @uru86

    and what's more disgusting than this is that there are a lot more people like these or even in worse conditions in countries around the world, free economy or not

  • What the hell is that whitey doing homeless in China....lol
