At present, it is impossible for Hong Kong people to perform military service in the Mainland. It is the obligation of every citizen of China to perform military service according to law, but for young people in Hong Kong and Macao, the Basic Law does not stipulate that residents of the Special Administrative Region must perform military service, and the Military Service Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) is not a national law implemented in Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions. In other words, young people in Hong Kong and Macao do not need to perform military service, nor are they obliged to do so. At present, Hong Kong people do not have to perform military service, nor can they perform military service. According to Article 13 of the Basic Law of the HKSAR:

The Central People's Government is responsible for the foreign affairs related to the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of People's Republic of China (PRC) has set up an office in Hongkong to handle foreign affairs.

The Central People's Government authorizes the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region to handle relevant foreign affairs on its own in accordance with this Law.

Article 14:

The Central People's Government is responsible for the defense of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is responsible for maintaining public order in the Region.

The troops of the Central People's Government stationed in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region for defense shall not interfere in the local affairs of the Region. The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region may, when necessary, ask the Central People's Government for assistance from the garrison in maintaining public order and rescuing disasters.

Members of the garrison shall abide by the laws of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in addition to the national laws.

The garrison expenses shall be borne by the Central People's Government.

Article 42 Hong Kong residents and other people in Hong Kong have the obligation to abide by the laws in force in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

In China's armed forces system, the local people's armed forces department is responsible for conscription, and there is no such organization in Hong Kong, so it is impossible for Hong Kong people to join the People's Liberation Army. At present, the military service system in our country is that the local hukou serves in other places, so if a Hong Kong person wants to join the PLA, he will be arranged to serve in the mainland. As for why there is no armed forces department or similar department in Hong Kong, it is because the central government takes care of Hong Kong compatriots and exempts Hong Kong school-age youth from the obligation to perform military service.

As can be seen from the above, Hong Kong people have no chance to perform military service for their motherland or their own cities, and Hong Kong does not have to pay national tax to the central finance. It should be said that Hong Kong people are lucky, and their luck lies in their unique historical position. The central government has given special care to the anti-China rhetoric in the western world and the well-being of Hong Kong people, thus proving the practical feasibility of one country, two systems.
