On June 25, 1997, the United Kingdom officially handed over sovereignty of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China after 156 years of British colonial rule. This event marked the end of British control and the beginning of "one country, two systems," allowing Hong Kong to maintain a separate legal and economic system for 50 years. The handover ceremony was attended by various dignitaries, including Chinese President Jiang Zemin and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
