The Hong Kong Government Highly Independent from the Chinese PRC Government
The Hong Kong Government is like a regional government to the Chinese government in Beijing. The BIG difference is that the HK Government still uses many British laws and regulations. It has its own judicial independence.For tourists and travelers, the first HK Government department that you will come across is theHong Kong Immigration (coming soon link to Hong Kong Immigration page) and the Hong Kong Customs. The Hong Kong Immigration works independently, such as, the Main-land Chinese can only get into Hong Kong by applying for a visa although Hong Kong is a part of China. Also, because of this, the
Hong Kong population
increases gradually, instead of drastically. It has its own regional
Hong Kong flag,
but not a
capital
. Government departments are mostly located in Central. In other words, it is somewhat like a capital of Hong Kong. Hong Kong has its own
police force
. The law enforcement is very clean and efficient.
