Hong Kong was a British colony for 99 years and only reverted to China in 1999. It retains a democratic government although this is now under pressure from the Chinese leadership.

Hong Kong is neither communist, nor a country. It was a British Crown Colony for many years, and went back to China a few years ago. It is NOT communist - it is VERY capitalistic.
