Last time I looked, Hong Kong was a free, capitalist society
with no commies in charge of anything. Hong Kong used to
be a British Colony. Good Grief!

Good American sailcloth lovingly sewn in Hong Kong using a combination of
machine and hand-stitching from dedicated Chinese factory workers produces
a product superior to the North Sail, for example, that is farmed out to

Mexican
and commie Korean workers who have never even seen a sail boat.


Are you saying that the Chinese aren't commies?

Sorry, Thom. You are wrong again.

http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/...k/geos/hk.html


"Occupied by the UK in 1841, Hong Kong was formally ceded by China the following year; various adjacent lands were added later in
the 19th century. Pursuant to an agreement signed by China and the UK on 19 December 1984, Hong Kong became the Hong Kong Special
Administrative Region (SAR) of China on 1 July 1997. In this agreement, China has promised that, under its "one country, two
systems" formula, China's socialist economic system will not be imposed on Hong Kong and that Hong Kong will enjoy a high degree of
autonomy in all matters except foreign and defense affairs for the next 50 years. "
