[edit] Serious expansion needed

This section seriously needs a major expansion. Really. Because the Shanghainese played an extremely prominent role in shaping modern Hong Kong's economy. Hong Kong's economy wouldn't be what it is today if it hadn't been for the mass flight of middle and upper class Chinese from the Jiangnan area to Hong Kong at the end of the Chinese Civil War. Many of the fleeing industrialists and capitalists fled to Hong Kong, where their wealth provided much of the capital for Hong Kong's economy. --Yuje 09:20, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
