It has been suggested that this article be merged into Hong Kong. (Discuss)

"Hong Kong, China" (Chinese: 中國香港, Zhōngguǒ Xiānggǎng ) is the designation that Hong Kong, a special administrative region of the People's Republic of China, uses to join international organisations as member, and to take part in international sport events, as prescribed by the Basic Law – the constitutional document of the territory.

Before the transfer of the sovereignty from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1997, the crown colony of Hong Kong joined international organisations and participated in international sport events under the name "Hong Kong". After the transfer of sovereignty, according to the Basic Law, the special administrative region continues to have its own delegations and teams to the organisations (that are not restricted to sovereign states) and sport events, separate from those under names such as "China", "People's Republic of China" or "China PR", which represent the rest of the PRC other than Hong Kong (and Macau after 1999).
