Interesting that Hong Kong either isn't part of your comparison table, or it's folded into China, given the stated motivation for building this, as some of those services you include seem to have different restrictions for the two.
- jettfu 1mo agoYou're right, and I missed it before posting. Hong Kong isn't in the table, and it isn't folded into China either. It's simply not covered. The eight countries came from a set of country pages that already existed on the site, and I reused that axis for the dataset rather than choosing one for it. You're also right that it matters, and my own notes say so. The Meow cell records that Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan sit on a published list separate from mainland China. The Airwallex cell records China-registered businesses onboarding through the Hong Kong entity. So an HK reader looking at the China column would be reading an answer assembled from lists that exclude them. I've added a scope paragraph to the dataset page and the methodology page saying the eight are the entire axis, and that HK, Macao and Taiwan are outside it rather than inside China. Doing Hong Kong properly means sourcing it across all 19 providers, so it goes into the October re-verify instead of getting patched in this week. And yes, the post opens with me running a US LLC from Hong Kong.
