Good afternoon everyone!
Today I'll be asking YOU what you think about a certain country taking part in WSC for the possible future - Hong Kong.
Now, there is speculation - more or less Hong Kong is a country or special region of People's Republic of China. This could be similar to Macau. However they aren't ''prohibited'' to participate, but no-one ever brought up the subject of them (except for one or two people).
With Taiwan allowed to participate I think it's a chance to allow Hong Kong. While I will talk with Dusan, I want your opinion.
The answers are: Yes - Hong Kong to you should be in the contest. Yes, but with only Hong Kong singers - No borrowing. I don't mind - It's not really a problem No - Hong Kong to you shouldn't be in the contest.
We will meet public's demand, but the hosts decide what happens too.
I want to also add that when Taiwan wanted to participate, we needed to ask China if it was alright. However we don't have someone from China so it's different this time. Unlike Kosovo, which angered our Serbian player, Taiwan wasn't a huge issue.

I voted for no. Taiwan is actually an independent country for me while Hong Kong isn't. And the Chinese player in WWWSC said once that would be really difficult.

Since people will have different opinions it was only best to open a poll. I'll keep it open for a while though.

I voted for yes. is not an issue for me competing. They do have some sort of Independance from China so I have No issue at all. In regards to singers then I think that which ever province borders Hong Kong, singers can come from there, otherwise singers from Hong Kong Only. And since we don't have a Chinese player, then whats the [roblem?

Sure why not. Even Wikipedia says they have an independent government which makes them seen as an independent country often.
