Hong Kong was leased to Britain for 99 years period. After the end of the 99-year lease, Britain handed Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China on 1st July 1997 under the principle condition of One Country, Two Systems.
This arrangement allows Hong Kong to maintain a separate political and economic system and enjoy a high degree of autonomy, including retaining its capitalist system, independent judiciary and rule of law, free trade and freedom of speech.
