Alot of the opposite is true. Alot of the Chinese old timers remember the brutality they suffered under Mao and are very upset at this current event. Many of them want to sell their factories and move the money to HK (and eventually out of China).

See the difference is you are talking about people who own a factory, but in old days, the majority is those who were short on food and supplies.

What you said is also true. The opinions of Chinese immigrants differs a lot based on when they immigrated out of China. Was it 70s, 80s, or 90s?

People immigrated out before 90s tends to be more pro-democracy. (At least from my impression)
