Quote:

On a related note, what do people in HK mean when they say 'Chinese'?

Cantonese. Period. If they want mandarin skills then they write Mandarin, or Putonghua.

So what "Chinese" means differs strongly and can mean anything.

Funny side note: I remember when I saw an ad for an flight attendant in a HK newspaper which
should speak "Indian" (there is no such language)
