Does the USA recognize Hong Kong as an independent country?

Question

Or as a part of China?

Answer 1

no this is China.   it was a british crown colony won as a result of the underhanded opium wars .   yes, the british brought drugs (evil white powder) into the country to drug up the peoples and they tricked them into signing a document that gave up their ownership of the land. they had enough force to back it up but really was not needed (which should tell us something about China other than proganda ) we hear.  prior to the year 2000, HK was returned to China.  It continues to have a business autonomy / seperate from China / that encourages trade/ keeps the commerce.   i believe that other areas of China are now bigger than HK for manufacturing.   Kowloon used to be the side that was for manufacturing and downtown HK was for business .      Shanghai has become one of the most modern citiies in the world.  the skyscrapers /skyline / architecture is very sleek / unique.
