In 1997, Hong Kong's status changed when it was handed over from British to Chinese sovereignty, marking the end of over 150 years of British colonial rule. This transition was governed by the principle of "one country, two systems," allowing Hong Kong to maintain its own legal and economic systems for 50 years after the handover. However, in recent years, there have been significant concerns regarding the erosion of freedoms and autonomy in the region.
