It is funny to see that after so much time working on this blog, no one has actually established a "Did you Know?" section. So why not start now? Of course I'm going to have to set some copyright or trademark or something like that.
So now, I'm officially beginning this "Did you Know" section, and stick with us for further posts!
"Did you Know?..."
...that Hong Kong belonged to Great Britain some time ago. We are starting to talk about this in class, so I decided to post a brief introduction to this topic before we get deeper in class.
China lost Hong Kong to Great Britain during the Opium Wars of 1839 and it was in 1997, in Pekin, when Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her Chinese counterpart Zhao Ziyang signed the "Joint Sino-British Declaration"; an historic agreement returning Hong Kong to China. Finishing a British rule of over 155 years and transferring Hong Kong from a British colony to a communist China marking a historic change and launching a new era in trading and diplomacy between this two countries. The Chinese president at the time Dent Xiaoping greeted Mrs. Thatcher and further celebration took place in the Great Hall of the People with several guests from Hong Kong.
Today, Hong Kong is one of the biggest, most powerful and populated cities in China & the world. City of opportunities, money & power, Hong Kong is... "The Crown Jewel" of China.
