Hong Kong is legally part of China, not a separate country, and its coronavirus strategy has been overseen by the same top Chinese officials as in mainland China.
- robjan 7y agoThat is not true. Hong Kong has its own government. Yes, the government collaborates with China but we have a separate legal system and are treated as a separate country for customs and immigration purposes.

Of course Hong Kong has its own legal system and maintains its own customs and immigrations. However, mass epidemological response is carried out in accordance with the demands of mainland China, and so it is no surprise that Hong Kong is not being distinguished from mainland China as the OP expected.

Also of note, when Beijing published infection statistics, it excluded Hong Kong.
