    Sorry, telling me that Hong Kong is not part of a Communist country is just too much of a stretch. Wanting to be truely Democratic and actually being it are not the same.

    Hopefully one day it will be completely free.

      Hey, Hong Kong is not commie at all. that is because till 1995 it was under the Brits!

      It doesn't even have an ounce of communism in it.

      Richard, Geoffrey, Colin, alvCheng, anybody else who knows, can you please explain to Jeff that Hong Kong is not communist.

        I remember the Britt thing now! Sorry about that! I stand corrected on Hong Kong.

        But the rest of the country is Communist is it not?

          The rest of which country, Hong Kong or China?

          They are two almost separate countries.

          China is not full-blown communist.

            Tanuj, correction HK was handed to China in July 1 1997.

            Jeff, China is communist in name but de facto, there are some capitalist parts and some still strongly communist areas. The big cities are capitalist, they have malls, skyscrapers, nice cars, mansions, expensive appartments etc...while the countryside is still very communist.
