Hong Kong(SAR) is the location that fascinates me the most out of all the other countries because it\’s the only country with the extremes of Low or High in their ratings. It is also categorized as Hong Kong (being a city, not a country) and not China. This makes me wonder if different locations in china have extremely different views on this matter. Or is “mainland China” just very different from Hong Kong? I wonder why China’s southern part of the country has such strong beliefs; the culture, traditions, religion can all be influencers.

Hong Kong is strongly a long-term orientation and focused on the future versus the US is one of the long-term scores.
