The return of Hong Kong refers to the historical event that the People's Republic of China (PRC) government decided to resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong on 1 July 1997 1 day, and the government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland returned Hong Kong to People's Republic of China (PRC) on1July 19971day. 1 July 19971day, the hong kong special administrative region was established, ending the British rule of 155, and hong kong was administered by the government of the hong kong special administrative region. The vast majority of China residents in Hongkong automatically become citizens of People's Republic of China (PRC) (China).
The British colonial rule over Hong Kong was the first Opium War. The Qing Dynasty was defeated by the treaty of nanking signed by 1842, and Hong Kong Island and Ap Lei Chau were ceded to Britain. 1860, the Qing dynasty was defeated by the British and French allied forces again, and the Beijing Treaty was signed, giving the south of Boundary Street in Kowloon Peninsula and Stonecutters Island to the British. 1898 (in the 24th year of Guangxu reign of Qing dynasty), the Qing dynasty and Britain signed the "Special Provisions on Expanding the Border of Hong Kong" and leased the New Territories for 99 years. 1997 expired on June 30th. The originals of these three treaties are kept by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Taiwan Province provincial authorities in the National Palace Museum.
From 65438 to 0982, the British government and the People's Republic of China (PRC) government began negotiations on the future of Hong Kong. Although both the treaty of nanking Treaty and the Beijing Treaty meant that Hong Kong Island, Ap Lei Chau and Kowloon and Stonecutters Island south of Boundary Street were permanently ceded to Britain, People's Republic of China (PRC) refused to recognize all the relevant unequal treaties, such as the special provisions on expanding Hong Kong's boundary, only recognized that Hong Kong was under British administration, not a British dependency, and demanded that Britain return Hong Kong Island and Kowloon and the new territory. From 65438 to 0997, the British government decided to hand over the sovereignty of Hong Kong to China, but at the same time tried to safeguard the interests of Britain in Hong Kong.
China and Britain finally signed the Sino-British Joint Declaration in February 1984 19, and decided that China would establish the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region from July/0/997 1 and begin to exercise sovereignty and governance over Hong Kong Island, Kowloon Peninsula south of Boundary Street and the New Territories.
