Extended data:
Hongkong has been the territory of China since ancient times. During the period of 1842- 1997, Hong Kong was once a British colony. After World War II, Hong Kong's economy and society developed rapidly. It is not only known as one of the "Four Little Dragons in Asia", but also one of the richest, most developed and highest living standards in the world.
On July 6th, the China government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was established. The central government has complete power over Hong Kong, which maintains its original capitalist system and way of life and enjoys a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign affairs and national defense. "One country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy are the basic national policies of the China government.
With the strong support of the central government and the mainland of China, Hong Kong has overcome various risks and challenges such as the impact of the Asian financial crisis and continued to maintain its position as an international financial, trade and shipping center.
Although the road after Hong Kong's return is not smooth sailing, it will encounter various risks and challenges in the years to come, but it is backed by the great socialist motherland.
With the unity and enterprising spirit of the broad masses of patriotic compatriots who love Hong Kong, as long as we always adhere to the basic principle of "one country, two systems" and fully implement the provisions of the Basic Law, Hong Kong will certainly be able to overcome difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead and maintain long-term prosperity and stability.
