The British leased Hong Kong off China, and in 1997, the lease ran out !
Hong Kong is still glamorous and exciting and is functioning under the motto of " One country, two systems". Governed by China, yet the freedom of a democratic society.
A great mix of East and West !

I used to live in Hong Kong, fabulous place, Hong Kong Island is classed as China now as every one says, but when it was a British colony, Kowloon side was still China,as you moved further inland towards the New Territories it was part of China, was then and always will be. Are you thinking of going there? if so I strongly recommend it, they still have their freedom to do mostly what they want, go for it if you are.

Hongkong is not a separate country but a special administrative region of China that HK has own Government, Police, Courts and Laws, Inland Revenue Dept, Customs and Excise Dept, passport (& Immigarion Dept), ......You may find that there is still a border (and immigration control) separating China and Hongkong.
However, foreign policies are at the hands of the Chinese Central Gov't. Nevertheless, HK keeps the memberships of some organizations (e.g. WTO.....)
