Erwann,

According to the BRs, as I read it, this is valid.  The BRs say that the countryName attribute must contain the "the two-letter ISO 3166-1 country code associated with the location of the Subject”.  So an organization in Hong Kong could use either HK or CN, as both reflect the location of the subject.

Thanks,
Peter
