Hong Kong is most definitely not China. [1]

Even your link says "one country" :)

The key was "two systems" which I think is the more relevant part to the article ;)

They've reneged on many aspects of that since handover.

Granted, but put quite simply, I have residency in HK but still need a visa to visit mainland China.

Also the capital controls are entirely different. It's naive to say they are the same country when they are demonstrably different in terms of culture and laws - despite their many similarities.

Will be in future.

Yes it's already a part of China. However like Taiwan, the culture is different. While HK shares a lot of traits with the mainland, it's culturally still closer to the West. That said things change over time.

Then Hong Kong will no longer be Hong Kong.

its only slowing being invaded by china

:)

In OP's case it looks pretty Chinar to me.
