Do Hong Kong natives speak Mandarin?

China's 56 ethnic groups have their own languages, let alone Hong Kong, which was colonized by Britain for so many years. The official language is English, and Cantonese is the language they use since ancient times. It's not that their teachers are poor. It can't be said that Hong Kong people don't generally speak it, but all Hong Kong schools use Cantonese or English to teach without Mandarin, unless it's some specific learning We can't compare our ideas with Hong Kong's in speaking Putonghua in China. If we don't speak Putonghua in a standard way, we will feel that we have no quality. Cantonese in Hong Kong is equivalent to Putonghua in the mainland. After the return of Putonghua, Putonghua has become more and more popular in Hong Kong. Now many people in Hong Kong can speak and listen to Putonghua.
