From BBC News:
Over coffee, a woman explained to her friend that her husband spent every summer in Canada, where they had a house, while her daughter was in Australia at university.
She kept the apartment in Hong Kong, where her mother lived in another apartment upstairs; her son was setting up house in Shanghai.
But Hong Kong was still home for all of them.
It was a typical Hong Kong conversation and, for its middle classes at least, an unsurprising combination of locales and loyalties, with this ethnically Chinese family boasting at least three different kinds of travel documents.
But nowadays in Hong Kong, political manoeuvring has raised the status of passports to indicators of patriotism – a loaded term generally taken here to mean support not just for China as a nation but for the current communist government in Beijing.
