Question
¿Cuàl es la diferencia cultural entre Hong kong y China?
Hi, I don't write Spanish very well, so I will explain in simple English: Hong Kong was originally part of China until the British stole it from China in the old days. In the 1990's the British gave Hong Kong back to China. It is now owned by the Communist Party, however Hong Kong still maintains its British-like government, so in actuality they are very different places. Also, most Chinese people in Hong Kong are Cantonese, as opposed to the Han people of Mainland China. Hope that helped...
