Hong Kong issues warning against bitcoin

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/tech/tech-news/Hong-Kong-issues-warning-against-bitcoin/articleshow/46187550.cms

Hong Kong's central bank has warned people against investing in virtual currencies amid local media reports that a bitcoin exchange may have run off with $387 million in client funds — making it potentially the biggest bitcoin scandal after last year's bankruptcy at Tokyo-based Mt.Gox.

Isnt HK an autonomy within PR China ? With Chinese officials already waging a war against BTC its not a surprise that Chan country also did the same thing.
