Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. It was a British colony until 1997, when it was handed over to China. Under the principle of "One Country, Two Systems," Hong Kong has a high degree of autonomy and maintains its own legal system, government, and economy. However, China maintains control over Hong Kong's defense and foreign affairs. Hong Kong's 2019 population was 7,500,700.
