Hong Kong and Malaysia:

Unraveling the Geographical Misconception 🌏 Contrary to a common misconception, Hong Kong is not located in Malaysia.

Rather, Hong Kong is a special administrative region of China, situated along the southern coast of the country.

Meanwhile, Malaysia is a Southeast Asian nation that borders Thailand, Singapore, and Indonesia, among other neighboring countries.

The roots of this geographical confusion can be traced back to Hong Kong's history as a former British colony.

From 1842 to 1997, Hong Kong was under British rule, which may have contributed to the perception of it being associated with other parts of the former British Empire, such as Malaysia. - https://hongkongfocusguide.com/blog/is-hong-kong-in-malaysia/?unique_id_nl1d6bbo
