I did not mean to imply that HK SAR is not part of China. HK is part of China but the SARS has a special particular meaning: "Special Administrative Regions". The only other SARS counterpart is Macau.
I think it's widely acknowledged that HK SARS citizens are NOT Chinese citizens. I was merely using travel, property, voting as several examples of rights that any citizen of any country would normally enjoy.
Unfortunate but it was part of the 'concessions' made during the British return to China back in 1997.
