Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Hong Kong’s achievements since its return to China

Honk Kong Island became a British empire’s territory in 1841 during the First Opium War. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and a 99-year lease was signed in 1898. The treaty was respected by succeeding governments, the United Kingdom and the People’s Republic of China and the former British territory was returned to China in 1997, known as the handover of Hong Kong, and became a special administrative region, or SAR. It was agreed to allow the highest degree of autonomy for 50 years and Hong Kong maintains governing and economic systems separate from those of mainland China, including governing, legislative and legal systems, police forces, monetary systems, academic and educational systems, and customs and immigration systems.

Recently though, you must have seen and heard a lot about the massive and continuous protests in Hong Kong. But what kind of and how much changes has Hong Kong experienced over the last 22 years since the handover? There is always the other side of the story.

Enjoy checking some statistics that how the mainland views the autonomous region.
