Hong Kong’s history of humiliation, the return of Hong Kong, and the current situation of Hong Kong!

The history of humiliation refers to the history of invasion and colonial rule by foreign powers in the mid-to-late 19th century. After the First Opium War, Britain forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the Treaty of Nanjing and ceded the island to Britain. The subsequent "Beijing Treaty" and "New Testament" expanded the territory to Kowloon and the New Territories. Over the next hundred years, it became a British colony and gradually gained autonomy and democratic rights through constant struggles. On July 1, 1997, it returned to China and became an administrative region. After the return, it enjoyed a high degree of autonomy and maintained its special administrative status through "one country, two systems". However, in recent years, various problems have arisen in society, and opposition protests have had an impact on politics, society, and the economy. In particular, the recent violent incidents have posed great challenges to governance and stability. The current situation is complex and there are problems in political, social, economic and other aspects. On the one hand, it maintains a relatively free and open social environment, has an advanced economic system and a high level of education. On the other hand, problems such as social polarization and the gap between rich and poor have become increasingly prominent, and disputes at the political level have also continued to escalate, posing great challenges to China's economic and social stability.
