I just think it is a shame, kimwy, that your experiences have led you to such a negative and sour impression that you've extended to generalise about a whole nationality.
Personally (and fortunately) my experience has been very different, and that includes Chinese friends and even strangers, not just family. The main exception to this rule would be the upper middle class in HK or other big cities, who have been spoilt by money and indeed worship money. I guess this is why many expats see a negative side so predominantly, especially if they live in the more wealthy areas of HK.
Hopefully you won't instantly judge new people you meet with these assumptions, or it is likely your negative experience will continue.
