I don't believe so. HK is a Special Administrative Region of China. A lot of their laws are still based on British common law.

Plus, China is huge, so describing HK separately helps people locate where the mirror is geographically. Debian also has a separate HK mirror.
+1 Hong Kong SAR shall better be listed just "Hong Kong" with its (regional) flag - like most distros do. Noone minds it in China. If very politically correct (but we arent diplomats), you can always write "Hong Kong SAR/ China" but then it will be clumsy, then keep HK flag in any case. The reason is the users in the region would want to easily see which one is which one (for example use China one inside China, and HK one outside, or pick one based on what they believe/ like/ dislike/etc - some Korean without local repo would maybe tend on picking HK vs. China...).

@Adrian, thanks, I just misunderstood you before. I will check on weekend and let you know. I may also post few more things. The fastest respondents were immediate. There are some said soon, this week, or just will do later.

@asqwerth: thanks for the hint, I'm waiting for MX-18 too, thanks all the devs!
