Chinese Special Administrative Region. Once a virbant city with an extremely unique culture in the Greater China region, it has been a shadow of its former self after the central government of China's crackdowns on protests in 2019. The city is expected to be fully integrated into the rest of China in 2047.
"I was once a Chinese patriot years back. I spoke Mandarin more fluently than any other blue ribbon, and sang the national anthem of China more loudly than any other Hong Kong pro-Beijing politician. Now I feel like the Chinese central government has betrayed me and my city."
Britain controlled Hong Kong so long they almost forgot it was China before it was controlled by them. Really it's between China and Hong Kong to determine what becomes of Hong Kong, not between Big Daddy White and China as another thing to fight a Cold War over.
Hong Kong will go on the way it always has, whether it's controlled by China, independent, or some other way. It's a bit arrogant of some countries to think Hong Kong should be more like them, when really they have to help themselves. They don't really need everybody else to help them.
Hong Kong is a country that was in British rule. Hong Kong Residents are called Hong Kongers.
yes : Hong Kongers are very cool.
also yes : stop being racist against Hong Kongers you fucking twat
A city off the coast of Mainland China that used to be a fairly decent place. After its colonisation by the UK, it became a giant melting pot of cultures and a "Shopping and Food Paradise" for the tourists. Its people are pretty great and there is a lot of undeveloped land in HK due to its many hills. In 2019, there was a massive protest where young people protested against a very controversial extradition bill that soon turned into a protest for democracy and for China to keep their hands off Hong Kong's rights, since China is notorious for its human rights abuses and the June 4th 1989 incident. The protests were peaceful at first but after the police began to use violence on the protestors, they too, turned violent. After nearly a year of this whole thing, they ended due to a National Security Law that basically stripped Hong Kong of all its rights. Now, it's a miserable police state with no freedom of speech, no way to commemorate the Tiananmen Square Massacre and it's getting worse and worse. Hong Kong has been miserable for almost 2 years now.

Walking very fast around tourist destinations, driven by FOMO. The person with the high knees is virtually running in an attempt to see every attraction and experience the destination to its fullest.
Other variations include the Singapore Shuffle and Tokyo tap dance.
I’m glad Dad was wearing his yellow cap. He went “Hong Kong high knees” as soon as he got out of the subway at Kowloon and we almost lost him.
