People from mainland China are buying goods in Hong Kong, because there's no sales tax, and selling them in the mainland. There are organized groups that facilitate this mass shopping practice and resale of goods. Powered milk is the most desired product from HK.
Prior to reading this article I knew that there were some tensions between Hong Kongers and mainland Chinese so it wasn't surprising that HKers look down on the mainlanders. But I was surprised to read that droves of mainland Chinese were crossing the border into HK just to go shopping.
