Hong Kong was a crown colony of the United Kingdom from 1842 until the transfer of its sovereignty to the People's Republic of China in 1997. The Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law of Hong Kong specify that Hong Kong must operate with a high degree of autonomy until at least fifty years after the transfer.
Hong Kong was transferred back to China on the 1st July 1997.
