NOA Incorrect Country of Birth?

[vp1990 0]

I am born in Hong Kong, which is part of China since 1997, but not part of China when I was born (1986).
On my I-797C Country of Birth section, it show China, instead of Hong Kong. 

I heard that Chinese National's processing time is much longer than Hong Kongers.

I am curious to know if anyone know this is a mistake or everyone that was born in Hong Kong would show Country of Birth: China.

Where did you hear this?

I heard once that people born in Hong Kong during British rule would be granted British Overseas citizenship. British Overseas citizenship is one of those bizarre cases like the American Samoan not holding any citizenship but being a national instead.
