I don't think Google owns the Hong Kong maps. I think the maps in that area are licensed from AutoNavi and MapKing. You can look at the copyright notice in the lower right corner when you zoom into a place and get a pretty good handle on whether you are looking at 3rd party licensed data or Google's own data.

I suspect they've been importing cool new info and reviews from new sources, but I wish they'd checked their work more carefully .... I'm puzzled and amused that "Report a problem" is disabled for Hong Kong.
