On the fence asked:
Although they are technically full parts of China, I’m told that they are run entirely separately, and more or less treated as separate entities from China. Is it true their government has complete self-rule, they deal with their foreign relations separately, their immigration laws are separate, their economy is entirely separate and run separately? Apprently, the citizenship is different. I’m told a citizen of Hong Kong is treated as a foreigner by mainland Chinese law?
