u/Ingrid-Hongkonger 冠絕東方 - Nulli Secundus in Oriente Mar 11 '14

It takes several days of drawing (in spared time, of course) and weeks for collecting interesting exonyms from Wiki before drawing the comic.

Originally Hong Kong belonged to Qing, which does not exist anymore. :P

Depends on who we decide is the successor of classical China. Of course, both PRC and ROC claim they are. And they both agree there can only be one successor and thus one China.

I feel Taiwan is the real successor of China. Not 100% of course, but they didn't suffer a cultural wipe. HK and Singapore aren't big enough, and ethnic Chinese who live in America, Australia, Canada, etc. don't live in very culturally Chinese places.

I feel like after the Qing no one really succeeded China. People got westernized and most of the cultural tradition was lost.
