| 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. | |
| Recent years have seen increased tension between the Hong Kong people and the Chinese government. Protests erupted in 2019 over a proposed extradition bill, which would have allowed suspects to be extradited to mainland China for trial. The bill was eventually withdrawn, but protests continued and expanded to include calls for greater democracy and autonomy for Hong Kong. The Chinese government has responded with increased control over Hong Kong's government and institutions, leading to concerns about the erosion of Hong Kong's autonomy and freedoms. | |
