Hong Kong And China Political Independence

Hong Kong and China Political Independence

Introduction

Hong Kong is a region located in the south of the country, which for the XLX century was belonging to China, but at present this region has been integrated as a special administrative region. During the nineteenth century, the relationship between the Asian country and the United Kingdom had been vertiginously potentialized. Due to the marketing business that these two maintained for a while, which consisted of the sale of tea from China to the United Kingdom, who paid this production with money. But over the years, UK managed to become aware about the erroneous path on which they were going through that business, and in turn decided to implement a good strategy.

Developing

The real purpose would be able to lift them from their great commercial deficit, one that leads them to the point of recovering much of their money and guaranteeing the sale in a large mass of such product (the distribution of opium). This would become the cause of two war conflicts which were unleashed years later. By the year 1829, after him, I carefully of this plant by the Chinese population, Emperor Daogang decided. Among the measures taken by the government, the action of throwing plants into the sea was highlighted. Such an act was the cause of a non -favorable response from the British government, who sent a war fleet which unleashed the first opium war.

Such war remained for four years, and ended with the defeat of China, who had to sign the Nanking Treaty, whose purpose was to achieve a thirteen points where issues of commerce, repairs and demobilization were addressed, but the point of greatestrelevance was where it stipulated that China had to give up Hong Kong to the United Kingdom, Captain Charles Elliot did not refuse.

Between 1856 and 1860, the Second Opium War is generated, due to commercial interests by the British in terms of smuggling made both in China and India. One more failure for the Chinese government, which did not find variants and was forced to sign it. 

conclusion

Similarly, as part of the peace treaties, China must deliver another part of its territory to Great Britain, known as Neuron, whose peninsula would be delivered with a condition;be returned 99 years later. In 1997, after more than 150 years of being a British colony, England decides to return Hong Kong to China and clearly the island is accepted, but China had a commitment which consisted of giving Hong Kong the status of the Special Administrative Region of Special Administrative Region. Which would be the equivalent of political independence, which led to its inhabitants obtaining special rights, such as new territories in 1997, which means that they have freedom of expression, among others, totally opposed to those implemented in different regions of China.
