After the First Opium War (1839–42), Hong Kong became a British Colony
Hong Kong was later Occupied by Japan during World War II until British control resumed in 1945.
On July 01,1997, the transfer of sovereignty over Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China took place, officially marking the end of Hong Kong's 156 years under British colonial governance
This transfer of sovereignty made Hong Kong the first Special Administrative Region of China
Tung Chee-Hwa , a pro-Beijing business tycoon, was elected Hong Kong's first Chief Executive by a selected electorate of 800 in a televised programme.
Hong Kong officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is an Autonomous Territory on the Pearl River Delta of East Asia
Under the principle of "One Country two systems", Hong Kong maintains a separate political and economic system from China.
Except in military defence and foreign affairs, Hong Kong maintains its independent executive, legislative and judiciary powers
In addition, Hong Kong develops relations directly with foreign states and international organisations in a broad range of "appropriate fields"
