Both of you need to realize that there is not a shortage of milk powder globally. What this is a shortage of is safe milk powder on the mainland. And that is caused first by the domestic producers and second by the high tariffs so that imported milk powder becomes extremely expensive on the mainland.

Then, these individuals can make a little money by doing this.

The problem is with China, and no one else. HK has to bear the brunt of China’s failings.

Whining like a bitch is becoming Hong Kong’s speciality. Remember that time where Cartier closed their store down for a customer from the mainland and people went apeshit saying Cartier doesn’t care about the native Hong Kongese? Shit, I watch VH1, they close things down for rich people to privately shop ALL THE TIME. These are private companies providing non-essential goods here. They have absolutely no obligation to favour one type of customer over another, if anything they WANT to drive up the price.

Sometimes I feel like the whining actual ruins my attitude towards any relevant complaints from HK.

As mentioned by other commenters before: just stock the bloody shelves with more milk powder! The only one to blame are the drug stores/supermarkets and the milk powder importers/distributors who can not or do not want to keep up the supply!

This seems more like a business opportunity than anything else. I’m not agreeing with the HK’ers on this one.

You know… or HK could just import more powdered milk and people could make some serious money on it instead of whining and bitching about it. CRAZY I know!

No one steals “their” girls – they abort them

And these mainlanders may well be the same ones saying “Stop stealing our Chinese girls!”

Capitalism. Deal with it, everybody.

I can’t believe that petition is real. I want to sign it just to see the White House’s reaction. Someone needs to open a milk powder factory in America. It could create some jobs here.
