(“hong kong” is a “special administrative region” of ‘china’)
(a ‘SAR’)
(sounds too close to ‘SARS’)
(“severe acute respiratory syndrome”)
(the “asian israel”?)
(or “anti-israel” more likely)
(both claimed by ‘brits’)
(‘china’ would be ‘israel’ in this scenario)
(as in ‘much stronger power’ claiming ‘sovereignty’ over the ‘kongers’)
(‘hong kong’ (chinese: 香港; literally: “fragrant harbour” or “incense harbour”), officially the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, is an autonomous territory south to “mainland china” at the “pearl river estuary” of the “asia pacific”)
(with a total land area of 1,106 square kilometres (427 sq mi) and a population of over 7.3 million of various nationalities, it ranks as the world’s 4th most densely populated ‘sovereign state’ or ‘territory’)
(after the “first opium war” (1839–42), “hong kong” became a “british colony” with the perpetual cession of “hong kong island”, followed by the “kowloon peninsula” in 1860 and a 99-year lease of the “new territories” from ‘1898’)
(“hong kong” was later occupied by “japan” during the “second world war” until “british control” resumed in ‘1945’)
26 SEPTEMBER 1984:
(the ‘united kingdom’ and ‘china’ agree to a transfer of sovereignty over ‘hong kong’, to take place in ‘1997’)
(in the early 1980s, negotiations between the “united kingdom” and “china” resulted in the 1984 “sino-british joint declaration”, which paved way for the transfer of sovereignty of “hong kong” in 1997, when it became a ‘special administrative region’ (SAR) with a high degree of “autonomy”)
(under the principle of “1 country, 2 systems”, “hong kong” maintains a separate political system from “china”)
(except in ‘military defense’ and ‘foreign affairs’, “hong kong” maintains its independent ‘executive’, ‘legislative’, and ‘judiciary’ powers)
(in addition, “hong kong” develops relations directly with ‘foreign states’ and ‘international organizations’ in a broad range of appropriate fields)
(nicknamed the “pearl of the orient”, “hong kong” is one of the most significant ‘global financial centers’)
(it has the highest “financial development index score” and is ranked as the world’s ‘most competitive’ and ‘most laissez-faire’ economic entity in the World Competitiveness Yearbook)
(“hong kong” uses “hong kong dollar”, the 13th most traded currency, as ‘legal tender’)
(hong kong’s economy is characterised by simple taxation with a competitive level of “corporate tax” and supported by international confidence in its “independent judiciary system” where the rule of law (as opposed to rule by law) applies to ‘legal’ and ‘contractual’ proceedings)
(the ‘tertiary sector’ of its economy is its most dominant)
(while “hong kong” has one of the highest ‘per capita incomes’ in the world, it suffers from the most severe income inequality among ‘developed economies’)
(“hong kong” is renowned for its deep ‘natural harbor’, which provides ‘international cargo ships’ ready access, and its ‘skyline’, with a very high density of ‘skyscrapers’; the territory boosts the 2nd largest number of ‘high rises’ of any ‘city’ in the ‘world’)
(it has a very high ‘human development index ranking’ and the world’s longest life expectancy)
(over 90% of the population makes use of well-developed ‘public transportation’)
(‘seasonal air pollution’ with origins from neighboring industrial areas of “mainland china”, which adopts loose ’emissions standards’, has resulted in a high level of “atmospheric particulates”)
