Second, the history of Hong Kong's cession184165438+126 October: After the First Opium War, Britain occupied Hong Kong Island. Afterwards, the Qing Dynasty tried to recover it by force, and Daoguang Emperor issued many orders for it, but the Qing Dynasty was still unable to defend its territorial integrity.
1August 29th, 842: The Qing Dynasty signed the unequal treaty of nanking with Britain and ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain.
1860 65438+1October 24th: China and Britain signed the unequal Beijing Treaty, ceding the area south of Boundary Street in Kowloon Peninsula to Britain.
June 9th, 1898: Britain forced Qing * * * to sign the Special Provisions on Expanding Hong Kong's Boundary, and leased 262 islands north of Boundary Street in Kowloon Peninsula for 99 years (ending on June 30th, 1997).
1942 65438+February 25th: During World War II, the Japanese invaded Hong Kong, and the British troops stationed in Hong Kong were unable to resist. At that time, Hong Kong Governor Yang had no choice but to declare surrender. Hong Kong was occupied by Japan and began a "period of Japanese rule" of three years and eight months.
3. The humiliating history of the cession of Hong Kong 1. Britain coveted China for a long time during the Opium War.
From 65438 to 0773, Britain started opium trade with China, and was the largest opium dealer. British opium dealers continuously imported opium into China, which plunged China into a quagmire of disaster. The outflow of silver caused a serious financial crisis in the Qing Dynasty, and the result of the outflow of silver made people more miserable.
Industry and commerce are generally depressed, and opium poisoning has been rampant in China. At that time, Wei Yuan, a patriot, said angrily in the book Atlas of the Ocean. "The cigar smoke is a disaster that China has never had in 3,000 years." The destruction of opium in Humen was plundered by Britain from 65438 to 0839, and opium smoke billowed, which directly threatened the survival of the Chinese nation.
At this time, the "anti-smoking faction" represented by Lin Zexu, a famous patriot and national hero in China's modern history, waved the sword of China, fought resolutely with the British invaders and led the anti-smoking movement that shocked the world. 1In March of 839, Lin Zexu arrived in Guangzhou as an imperial envoy to investigate the opium problem.
1On June 3rd, 839, Lin Zexu came to Humen Beach near Guangzhou and ordered all the opium seized to be destroyed in public. The destruction of opium in Humen showed the world the strong will of China people to ban smoking and resist foreign invaders.
Lin Zexu's feat of banning smoking in Humen has won the support of all those who uphold justice in the world. For example, in his book On the Crime of Opium Trade in China, an Englishman accused British businessmen of "opium trade has brought great insult to the British flag", but British opium merchants and industrial capitalists were unwilling to fail, so they stepped up their activities and urged Britain to launch a war of aggression against China. In June, 48 warships with 540 cannons and 4,000 soldiers arrived in Guangdong waters and blocked the Pearl River estuary.
As a result, the Opium War, which the British bourgeoisie had planned for a long time to open the door to China and seek the greatest benefits from Britain in China, finally broke out. On July 6, Dinghai, the main city of Zhoushan Islands, was conquered.
Further north, Daoguang sent Qishan, a timid and incompetent bureaucrat, to Guangzhou to make peace with the British army, and at the same time investigated Lin Zexu's panic and incompetence, which encouraged the invaders. 10, British forces occupied Hong Kong Island, Humen in February and Guangzhou in May.
From 65438 to 0842, Britain further expanded its war of aggression against China and successively captured Xiamen, Dinghai, Ningbo, Wusong and Zhenjiang. On August 29th of the same year, the Qing Dynasty and Britain signed the treaty of nanking, the first unequal treaty in China's modern history.
Second, we ceded Hong Kong and Britain occupied our territory, Hong Kong Island, according to the treaty of nanking. The British occupation of Hong Kong Island destroyed the territorial integrity of China.
Britain's aim is to control China militarily and economically. 1860 10, British and French troops invaded Beijing and razed the garden to the ground.
Qing * * * was forced to accept all the demands of the invaders and signed the Beijing Treaty on June 24, 65438/KLOC-0. In this way, Britain occupied the land south of Boundary Street in Kowloon Peninsula today and Stonecutters Island, the big island in the west of Kowloon Peninsula.
This further consolidated and strengthened Hongkong, the base for invading China. After Britain occupied the southern part of Kowloon Peninsula, it soon attempted to occupy the whole Kowloon Peninsula and its adjacent islands and waters.
1898 On June 9th, Premier Qing and Britain signed the "Special Provisions on Expanding the Border of Hong Kong" in Beijing. According to this agreement, Qing leased the land south of Shenzhen River and north of Boundary Street in Kowloon Peninsula and the nearby islands to Britain for 99 years.
This land leased to Britain was later called Hong Kong New Territories. Therefore, the British conquered the territory of China and Hongkong through bayonets and foreign guns.
Third, British colonial rule in Hong Kong established Hong Kong British * * *, which is an important part of British colonial rule in Hong Kong. 1On June 26th, 843, Britain took advantage of the exchange of letters in treaty of nanking to declare Hong Kong a British "crown colony" and appointed Pu Dinghui as the first governor of Hong Kong. Hong Kong and Britain were founded.
The Governor of Hong Kong, also known as the Governor, is the person who assumes the responsibilities of the highest head of Hong Kong and Britain. According to the Letters Patent, the basic law of British colonial rule over Hong Kong, the emperor is the supreme ruler of Hong Kong, and the Governor of Hong Kong is the plenipotentiary of the emperor.
There are four systems under the Governor, which constitute British rule in Hong Kong: (1) the Advisory Executive Council and the Legislative Council; (2) the executive branch headed by the Chief Secretary; (3) the judiciary branch headed by the Chief Justice; and (4) the British troops stationed in Hong Kong under the command of the British Ministry of Defence. In addition, an independent Anti-Corruption Commission (ICAC) was established.
The Executive Council and the Legislative Council are two important institutions to assist the Governor in exercising his functions and powers. The principal officials of British Hong Kong also include the Chief Secretary, the Financial Secretary and the Department of Justice.
British troops stationed in Hong Kong are an important force for Britain to maintain its colonial rule over Hong Kong. Since the British occupation of Hong Kong, the number of troops stationed in Hong Kong has remained relatively stable, about 1 10,000, including three services.
The legal and judicial system originated from Britain is an important means for Britain to govern Hong Kong. Britain not only colonized Hong Kong politically, but also ensured the privileged position of British-funded consortia in Hong Kong economically.
British consortium refers to the British capital consortium based in Hong Kong, mainly including HSBC consortium, Swire consortium and Jardine Matheson consortium. Most British-funded consortia started their businesses very early and participated in Hong Kong's economy for a long time. They are closely related to Hong Kong and have a great influence on the policies of Hong Kong and Britain.
Relying on the support of the Hong Kong government, they control the economic lifeline of Hong Kong. For example, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank owned by the British have the privilege of issuing Hong Kong dollars; Cable & Wireless, through its subsidiaries, Cable & Wireless Hong Kong and Hong Kong Telephone Company, monopolized the external communication, telephone and telecommunication services in Hong Kong. British real estate companies own a lot of real estate in Hong Kong.
As Hong Kong people say, "The Jockey Club, Jardine Matheson, HSBC and the Governor's Office actually rule Hong Kong." British colonial rule made the whole Hong Kong society full of colonialism.
During World War II, Japan occupied Hong Kong and fell on Sunday, February 7th. The cinema is packed, the bar is crowded with guests, jazz music keeps coming from the dance floor, and young people go to the countryside in the New Territories in droves.
