The government of China fled to Hong Kong and is still there today... some people say.

You mean Taiwan

Thanks, it's amazing the things I know and still botch.

For what it's worth plenty of nationalists did actually flee to Hong Kong. Had a friend whose family was from HK, his grandfather was a banker and supposedly a personal friend of Chiang Kai-Shek and he hid under a pile of dead fish on a fishing boat to escape the communists and go to HK.
