A. Hong Kong and Japan both still show the political influences of imperialism. This is evident in the governance systems and political structures that were established during British and American imperialism.

B. China has adopted Western culture. The impact of British imperialism can be seen in the adoption of Western culture and values by certain segments of Chinese society. This includes the adoption of Western education, language, and elements of Western lifestyle.

However, it is important to note that options C and D are incorrect. Japan does not currently hold imperial power in Hong Kong, as Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of China since its return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. Additionally, Korea is not an imperial territory of Japan, as Korea gained independence from Japan in 1945 after the end of World War II.
