in fact this is one country, not two different countries as it is mentioned in the article.

I would regard Hong Kong as a separate nation, although they don't have an army of their own (the defense is looked after by the People's Liberation Army Hong Kong Garrison). They have their own separate currency, flag and national anthem. The relation between China and Hong Kong is similar to the one between the United Kingdom and Australia. Elizabeth II (Queen of the United Kingdom) is the queen of Australia as well. But everyone regard Australia as a separate nation. The same can be said about Canada, New Zealand and more than a dozen Caribbean nations.

Please correct me if I am wrong.
