How it's used
This full title is almost exclusively reserved for formal legal documents, government official statements, or international treaties. In everyday spoken Cantonese, people simply refer to the city as 香港. Using the full name in casual conversation sounds extremely stiff, overly bureaucratic, or ironically pedantic.
Examples
He was born in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.
