Hong Kong is a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China that lies on the southern coast of China and on the South China Sea. Hong Kong is a very densely populated territory with a large population of about 7.2 million people condensed into 424 square miles (1,098 square kilometers).
Hong Kong has a different political system from mainland China. The Basic Law of Hong Kong, its constitutional document, stipulates that Hong Kong shall have a “high degree of autonomy” in all matters except foreign relations and military defense. The chief of state is the president of China. The head of government is a chief executive of Hong Kong, selected by an 800-person election committee.
After the First Opium War (1839-1842), Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire. Boundaries were extended, and by 1898 there were three geographic areas – Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula, and the New Territories. During World War II, Japan occupied Hong Kong, but after the war, Britain resumed control until 1997 when Britain’s 99-year lease of the New Territories expired.
In accordance with an agreement between China and Britain in 1984, Hong Kong became a special administrative region of the People’s Republic of China. China agreed that Hong Kong would maintain its economic and social systems for 50 years from the date of handover.
Hong Kong is known for its shopping, cuisine, culture, and as a global center of trade, finance and business.
