Hong Kong is a territory of the People's Republic of China, so I don't think it is the capital of anything.
- Hong Kong is a Dependency which comes under Chinese jurisdiction. The old administrative capital of Hong Kong was Victoria which has now been renamed Central so in reality this is the closest to a capital that the island has.

- The name "City of Victoria" is entrenched in the law of the territory. Nothing has been done to amend the legislation no matter before or after the 1997 transfer of sovereignty.

Nevertheless the name had fallen into disuse among Hongkongers well before (perhaps 20 or 30 years) the 1997 transfer of sovereignty. The urban area had expanded eastward, beyond its limits as stated in the statute, along the northern stretch of the island.. And most people refer to different parts of island, no matter within or outside the city by the names of the areas (i.e. neighbourhoods).

Central is one of the areas within the city. Other areas in the city include Wan Chai, Sheung Wan, Shek Tong Tsui.

- There isn't-it's composed of 3 territories belonging to China, the capital of which is Beijing.
