Is Hong Kong A Country?

Is Hong Kong a country or part of China?

  • I'm confused, because I read an article saying "the country Hong Kong"... I just need some clarification because I thought Hong Kong was a giant city of China.

  • Answer:

    hmmm, i see twelve98, seems to be in Hong kong, hence the answer that HK is a separate country,HK people don't particularly seem to like to be referred to as Chinese, or mainland Chinese. HK would like to be its own country but china would never allow it to leave as it has to much value. yes it does have it s own currency, government and was part of Britain until 1997, but it is still China.

Hong Kong is/was never a country. Hong Kong was originally a city of China, then it became a British colony, and now it's back to a city of China.

Hong Kong is not a country. It is part of China. The full name of Hong Kong is Hong Kong Special Administration Region. Hong Kong used to be a colony of Britain, but after 1997, she's been returned to China. Since Hong Kong has been under the rule of a western country for over one hundred year,she has her own currency (the Hong Kong Dollars) and life style different from China's. In order to make the residents easier to cope with the transition, China turned HK to a special region so the people can still live like they used to be. So, many people think that she is a different country. This is call 'one country, two system'.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong Hong Kong (Chinese: 香港), officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region[6], is a territory located in Southern China in East Asia, bordering the Guangdong to the north and facing the South China Sea to the east, west and south. It has a population of 7 million people, but with only 1,108km2 of land, making it one of the most densely populated areas in the world.[

It was apparently debatable, considering my high school teacher from 5 years ago said that yes, Hong Kong is its own country and therefore somebody had to do a country presentation on it, but agree with most other people who have answered. It's definitely a part of China. It can be considered a region, but it's just really a giant city.

the entire name of HK is Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. It is a part of china. LOL the answer of twelve98 is wrong, Canada is Canada,Britain is Britain,Nobody believes Canada is a part of Britain. HK has no own army, no own foreign affair ministry, It is just a province of china.

the article may say anything... the truth is HK is a part of China... a special city, of course, like Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin and Chongqing but it's a part of the Mainland already... :)

no, its a big city. I guess the writer either screwed up or refers to country like a mass of people, because hong king is a MASSIVE city
