I personally been to Beijing and HK for about 3 weeks. and I totally agree with you about the stable gov, good climate and most of all you actually feel like home. When I was in Beijing our tour guide told us there are certain things we should never ever spoke about in public. Also is very crowded you literally have to fight/line up to get what you want in Beijing/HK. Like literally even as simple as going to the washroom to shit, if you went during rush hour, be prepare to line up for a good 5 to 10mins, take the bus during rush hour you have to wait as long as 30mins, eating out 40+ mins.......... Basically you have to fight for everything.
