Usenet is not under the jurisdiction of United States of America, it is
a worldwide distributed service.  Each News Service Provider is under
the jurisdiction of its own national lawmakers individually.

If Hong Kong has the blessing of the CCP it can, or if it can escape
"The Great Firewall of China" it can.  Anywhere that can host a
newserver can join Usenet if it can find peers.  Any user anywhere can
connect to any newsserver worldwide if not blocked by a firewall.

A NNTP news service need not be connected to Usenet, it can be a
stand-alone or peer with any other news service that doesn't propagate
to Usenet.
