TJ, an interesting test of how "free" Hong Kong is, would be if Hong Kong voted by 9:1 to be completely independent of China.

I think Hong Kong's freedom is a gilded cage. Kind of like a 2 year old is "free" to play in their sand pit to their heart's content. Until dusk, when Mommy calls out, "Time to come inside and eat your tripe and onions darling".

It would be a good idea not to assert that vaunted "freedom" too loudly.

Nevertheless, it would not be difficult to be rated "most free" country given how repressive all the rest are, even with China's Damocles Sword hanging over Hong Kong.
