lol right, they split an actual country up and then merged a bunch of countries into EU into one, might as well just put NATO on the scoreboard at this point
Hong Kong’s team and China’s team are two separate and distinct entities at the Olympics. China specifically outlined that they were alright with that back in 1997.
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.
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?
Because Hong Kong maintains its own separate Olympic team which is grandfathered in, and also explicitly allowed by the PRC stipulations they handled the reintegration of Hong Kong.
Why is Hong Kong a separate country here?

Sure, and it’s still weird that the Olympics insists on treating HK as a separate entity wouldn’t you agree?

Do explain the rationale for why the Olympics treats HK as a separate entity.

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

Really?

They are two separate teams.
