In the early days a joke circulated around Beijing in "China hand" circles as follows:

What's the difference between a Hong Kong Chinese and a mainland Chinese?

The Hong Kong Chinese knows the difference between 1/100th and 1/1000th of an inch.

By the way, Li Keqiang (#2 in China leadership) is a fantastic scientist, wonderfully inquisitive/open-minded about knowledge, and is encyclopedic. Great guy.
