Last year tourists from the mainland accounted for a striking 36% of all the babies born in the territory, a sharp rise on previous years, and the trend is resolutely upwards. Mainlanders are noticing some obvious benefits of giving birth in Hong Kong. Perhaps most importantly, the one-child policy does not apply in the territory. Maternal treatment is also generally better, at least when weighed against stories of bad care and negligence in mainland hospitals, especially for those who fail to pay big bribes. And the welfare system in rabidly capitalist Hong Kong is more generous than on the Communist mainland. A child born in Hong Kong gets free education for 12 years and almost free medical care. Although local hospitals charge up-front (mainlanders pay at least HK$39,000, or $5,000, per birth), the longer-term gains make the cost worthwhile.
