    No? The Olympics treat them as separate entities because at the Olympics they are separate entities. This is a tableau of medal counts, and Hong Kong’s team operates independently of China’s as an independent entity.

        Hong Kong has maintained their own independent Olympic team since 1952. During the handover of the territory in 1997, China outlined in the treaty that incorporated Hong Kong and later the Hong Kong constitution in Article 151, Chapter 7 of the Basic Law,

        May, on its own, maintain and develop relations and conclude and implement agreements with foreign states and regions and relevant international organizations in the appropriate fields, including the economic, trade, financial and monetary, shipping, communications, tourism, cultural and sports fields"

        I really don’t get what’s so hard to understand here. At the Olympics, they are two separate entities with two separate Olympic committees.

          Ok sure, now explain CPTPP and E.U. countries categories, just trying to understand how that fits with this

            Why are you shifting the conversation? I was talking about Hong Kong. Where did I ever mention the other parts of the table? Do you think I’m defending the Olympic committee?

            Really?

              I’m not shifting the conversation. The whole context here is the image I posted where they split up China and HK while combining EU countries into one entity. Hence why I was pointing out the absurdity of the whole thing.

                Thats where the liberalism comes in, and why I’m not “defending” what they did with the other combinations.

                I’m just saying that there’s at least a plausible reason to separate the Chinese and Hong Kong numbers.

                I’m not arguing about this with you. Goodbye. I just stated they were separate teams. Not everything is an argument.

                  I understand your reasoning about why China and HK. What I was pointing out was the inconsistency.
