Hong Kong was once a British colony and is now a Special Administrative Region of China. It was handed back to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 1997, under the principle of "one country, two systems," allowing it to maintain a separate legal and economic system from mainland China. This transition marked the end of British colonial rule and the beginning of a new chapter in Hong Kong's governance.
