You're wrong again. In English documents produced in Taiwan, you'll
find non-Pinyin systems used for Romanizing Chinese people and place
and product names. The same held and still holds for HK.

HK is always connected geographically to mainland.u

And apparently, you're misinformed. That means, you shouldn't believe
all what you see in that magazine.
