All the MD / directors / senior management / bankers are either foreigners / mainlanders, while the local grads are mostly in the operation / IT /  back office. Don't want to be stereotypical but it shows the skills of the two different kind of education train up. ...

Just want to point out that mainland Chinese undergo a spoon-fed style education train up not dissimilar to that in HK.

有些大陸人好早過去外國讀，有些遲過去但都起碼是海歸

I agree, but they would be the exception rather than the norm, just like some local Hongkongers may be returnees from overseas too.
The point is, the original poster grouped mainlander and foreigner together. May be there is some truth in saying mainlanders are foreigners, but as far as mainland education is concerned it is similar to HK's if not more rigid.

Putting well connected first and educated second, I guess that's what they call a Freudian Slip :)

We're not focusing on the quality of the people but the quality of the education system, and in that regard there is no need to fantasize about China's education system.

The people who know China's education system best are the mainland Chinese themselves, and since there are far more mainland Chinese coming to HK to study than Hongkongers going in the opposite direction, the conclusion is pretty obvious.

boarden their experience and trying to go out and learn, just like those Hong Kongers going to other countries ...

If the reason for mainland Chinese coming to HK to study is simply to broaden their experience rather than being attracted by a genuine difference in terms of quality of the education system, then we should see Hongkongers being just as eager to go in the opposite direction since China's education system is just as good if not better, but we don't see that happening. Furthermore, when we talk of mainland Chinese coming to HK to study, it doesn't just occur at university level, there are long lines of uniformed children crossing the Lowu border every morning in a southerly direction, and zero going the opposite way.

I'm not saying HK's education system is good, it certainly is not, but if you compare it with China's, you can see how people vote with their feet, and lastly, would YOU send your children to attend school in China? Like I said, there is no need to go out of one's way to fantasize about China's education system :)

I have already said I have no idea about the education system in China ...

That's fine then. We won't discuss this further.

You will be surprised to see the increase in no. of local students going back to China (or Taiwan an ...

Assuming there is such an increase, are you saying they go (back?) to China to study so they'll be trained like a mainlander and thus have a better chance of becoming MD / directors / senior management of an investment bank or some other corporation? Haha, I'm sorry to say I'm not convinced, the mainlander MDs you've seen are in their positions not BECAUSE of an education in China, but DESPITE of an education in China.

In any case, I do respect people who put their money where their mouth is and actually practice what they preach, so when you consider education choices for your children you should position schools in China as the top choice :)

Those people at the top are very smart and do their job well.  ...

I agree, I never doubt the quality of the people, I'm commenting on their education system.
Lastly, if we don't know something we can always ask, there are enough mainlanders in HK to make asking easy.

Mainlander MDs are highflyers despite their education.

xxxxxx

That's what I meant. These mainlander MDs are smart and they got to where they are in spite of their education in China, not because of it. If anything, the rote learning spoon-feeding rigid education they received in China was a hindrance rather than a help.
