Huh? UK gave control of HK back to China in 1997.
I keep hearing things are different in HK but I never see any proof. Fuck it, I will have to go check it out myself.

HK is different - its still a "Special Administive Zone" or some such shit and still follows some legal customs from the U.K days.
The Chinese have clamped down a little bit but are afraid to fuck with the people too much, or kill off the greatest cash cow they have.
I lived there briefly and have some friends that still do - many of the Chinese businessmen started to flee in 1997, but came back because China has been not too heavy-handed, at least yet.
