'''Hong Kong''' was a pocket of [[freedom]] standing up against the oppressive [[communist]] regime of the [[Peoples Republic of China]] up to 2020.

Hong Kong consists of Hong Kong island, Lamma, Lantau and various smaller islands, and Kowloon and the New Territories on the Chinese mainland. The name "Hong Kong" means ''fragrant harbor''.

There is a [[free press]] but no [[democracy]] and no real elections; all major government decisions are made by the government of China.
