The same thing happens with Google.They assume ever user in
Hong Kog is Chinese. This can be fixed by saving your profile in
cookie but if the cookie gets erased during a cleanup, your are
forced back to the Chinese site and the need to re-configure
your user profile again. The surprising thing is, perhaps, that
Google recognises that Hong Kong is a Chinese city, albeit a very
cosmopolitan one. Most Americans seem to believe it is in Japan!
