Gee I dunno, maybe it was when you said "Hong Kong currency still counts as Chinese *, Never heard of the "Yuang" thing ".
Yeah.
Quote:How did I suggest they were same currency? Hong Kong is a semi independant state of China but still part of the country of china, Since the brits handed it back to Beijing. It counts as a Chinese currency now it cant be used I gather in mainland china nore can Yuan be used in Hong Kong(or can it?),But the dollar is one of the two chinese currencies.So therefore it is chinese!
Yes thank you for the history lesson because I did not know that HK was handed over to China in 1997. I also did not know that HK is still an independent region (Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is what it's called, or HKSAR for short) that is not supposed to become a real part of China until 2046. Thanks for letting me know!
And didn't you just say that you've never heard of the yuan, yet now you're trying to tell me about it?
