Hong Kong,
China
Monday, January 28, 2008
Hong Kong was a
crown colony of the
United Kingdom from 1842 until the
transfer of its sovereignty to the People's Republic of China in 1997. The
Sino-British Joint Declaration and the
Basic Law of Hong Kong stipulate that Hong Kong operates with a high degree of
autonomy until at least 2047, fifty years after the transfer. Under the policy of "
one country, two systems", the
Central People's Government is responsible for the territory's defence and foreign affairs, while Hong Kong maintains its own
legal system,
police force,
monetary system,
customs policy,
immigration policy, and
delegates to international organisations.
