Seems like the answer is that there is no answer. Everything is done on a case by case basis. The outcome of the *.hk TLD is probably the least of the Hong Kong people's concerns right now and if China have control over Hong Kong then it'll probably have control over the TLD as well.
Also, there's this:
> Based on my (admittedly cursory) scan of the Taiwan one, there’s a lot of mention about “the territory of the Governmental Authority,” which implies that if the Governmental Authority no longer has territory, things might become somewhat hairy.
> if China have control over Hong Kong
It's Chinese territory. They have 100% control.
Sometimes "if" means "so long as it's true" rather than "I'm not sure whether it's true".
