[edit] Re: Which country does Hong Kong belong to?

I understand that. Quite a lot of American people do not know very well about places far away, not as much as they do for the 50 states. But then it has actually become a little unwritten convention (tho we can discuss and change it) that "China" is not necessary when making a reference to Hong Kong, partly because of its independent status except with diplomatic relations and national defence, and partly because of its relative importance in the region.

Furthermore there's another problem that if China has to be mentioned, the link should be pointed at People's Republic of China, instead of China. — Instantnood 06:59, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
