Ok... and in this case can also South Tyrol create its own chapter considering that he has the some autonomy that Hong Kong and it not will finish in 2047?

[shrug] If legal and practical reasons in the relevant jurisdictions make it practical and desirable to set up Wikimedia Guernsey, then yes, there's no reason we wouldn't set up that chapter. I am assuming that, currently, Hong Kong is a sensible and viable option, even if it will not remain so forever.
This isn't some kind of one-chapter-per-country, or one-per-geographic-unit, it's an attempt to set up local chapters on a sensible scale on a case-by-case basis. In some cases, this will mean subnational entities; in other cases, it may mean regional ones.
