Do you think Hong Kong is a part of China? It seems that some people think Hong Kong doesn't belong to China! Hong Kong has come back to China in 1st, July, 1997. What's your opinion?

Hong Kong is definitely a part of China. The major difference is that HK has a separated legal system and political system. Also the currency is different, Hong Kong still keeps HKD as the major currency, while China use RMB. Concerning making money online, some paid-to sites banned China IPs but Hong Kong IPs are not restricted. (But there're also some sites banning BOTH!) For the past years, Hong Kong people were considered more educated than Mainlanders, however, now China is catching up and surpassing HK in terms of quality of human resources.

I believe Hong Kong was under China since July of 1997. I never knew there are some people who would think otherwise. Where did you hear it? =)

Hongkong definitely belongs to China.No one doubts that. The only dispute is whether Taiwan belongs to China,or an independent country.But its certain that Taiwanese are chinese.huh?

I think Hong Kong is already back to China. However, there is a very strange rule. I don't understand why not all Chinese can go to Hong Kong freely. We need to get a visa for it and also pay for it. And only some big cities' citizens will apply for the visa easily. I don't agree to it. If all Chinese can visit Hong Kong without any problems, as well as we travel any parts all over China. Then it really means that Hong Kong is a part of us.

Hong Kong is part of China,this is no longer in doubt.Because of the war,Hong Kong was ceded to Britain as a colony.In 1997,the Chinese goverment resumed its sovereighty over Hong Kong.From 1997 to today,10 years later,the development of Hong Kong has also become increasingly better.

Of course,Hong Kong is a part of China.Absolutely,Hong Kong is a indiscerptible part of China. And Hong Kong belong to China in all ages,just in 1841-1997 Hong Kong was leased constrainedly. In this regard, you were wrong.

Well, I think Hong Kong has become a part of China since July 1 1997, but because it's a SAR(special administrative region), it has it's own set of rules different from mainland China. Maybe that's why people think Hong Kong isn't a part of China.
