In 1997, China took back control of Hong Kong, which had been a British colony since the late 1800s
Are you sure you're not thinking of Hong Kong and it was the British who had control not America. Hong Kong was given back to the British on July 1, 1997.
The British ruled Hong Kong from 1842 to 1997. The British leased areas of the new territories of Hong Kong from China for 99 years and returned all of Hong Kong back to China on July 1, 1997. A memorial statue of a golden bauhinia was made to symbolize the hand over of Hong Kong back to China from 155 years of British rule.
