July 1, 1997: Hong Kong Was Handed Over to China | Vantage with Palki Sharma
On this day in 1997, Hong Kong was handed over to China ending 156 years of British rule. Beijing agreed to govern Hong Kong under the principle of "one country, two systems". That meant that it would enjoy wide-ranging autonomy for the next 50 years. But since 2020, China has tightened its grip on Hong Kong with a new national security law.
