Hong Kong has been a territory of China since ancient times, and it was under British colonial rule from 1842 to 1997. After World War II, Hong Kong's economy and society developed rapidly, not only becoming one of the "Four Little Dragons in Asia", but also becoming one of the richest, most developed and highest living standards in the world. On July 1, 1997, the China government resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region was established.

The central government has full governance over Hong Kong. Hong Kong has maintained its original capitalist system for a long time and enjoyed a high degree of autonomy in all matters except foreign affairs and national defense. It participated in many international organizations and conferences in the name of "China Hong Kong". "One country, two systems", "Hong Kong people ruling Hong Kong" and a high degree of autonomy are the basic national policies of the China government.
