Officially, Hong Kong is a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China. Although technically under Chinese control, Hong Kong retains its own independent nature.

Heavily influenced when under British control, Hong Kong also retains culture from the Anglo-occupation. Hong Kong still contains British transportation systems and has not been changed to systems similar to mainland China.

Under the agreement of the Handover of Hong Kong in 1997, China promised the Hong Kong public that its government will enjoy "...autonomous control over all matters unrelated to military defense or foreign relations." Hong Kong considers itself independent of Chinese control, being complete with its own set of laws and regulation, often working under the slogan "One country, two systems".
