G'day Scott S,
Yes, it is. The city is on the Pearl River Delta. It was a British crown colony from 1842 until 1997 but it is fully Chinese Territory now. It is the richest region of China.
I have attached sources for your reference.

Hong Kong is considered part of China on account that July a million, 1997. One usa yet 2 governments. Mainland China is COMMUNIST usa, no freedom of speech. Hong Kong is a DEMOCRATIC city, freedom of speech is permitted. Hong Kong is extremely westernised, because it replaced into part of British territory for a hundred years, so Hong Kong is a special mix of chinese language, ecu and interior the final 30 years, eastern subculture has been fairly everyday. In Mainland China, basically the huge cities (Beijing, Shanghai,etc..) are westernised, smaller cities and rural aspects at the instant are not.

Yes, it is part of China. However, it is still under the separate name as "Hong Kong". If you refer Hong Kong as "China", most people would assume you are talking about Mainland China.

Hong Kong is a city in China, but it is also recognized as it's own country by most major companies. (FedEx being one of them...I would know, I work for them. Messed up, eh?)
