When control of Hong Kong was returned to China in 1997, the new government operated under the principle of "one country, two systems," allowing a high degree of autonomy, except in foreign and defense affairs. This arrangement aimed to preserve Hong Kong's legal and economic systems, as well as its civil liberties, for 50 years. The Basic Law served as the constitutional document governing the region, establishing a separate legal framework. However, over the years, tensions have arisen regarding the perceived erosion of these freedoms and autonomy.
