Free from/of/out of
1.They want to free Hong Kong from China.
2.They want to free Hong Kong of China.
3.They want to free Hong Kong out of China.
I would like to know whether all the three sentences are correct English and if something is wrong, could you explain why?
To me, they're all correct English because I have come across all the expressions "Free from/of/out of", but there should be a lot of native speakers who would think that 2 and 3 are wrong because of the reason I assume that "Free of" and "free out of" is not common.
