Description

Explore the fascinating urbanization history of Hong Kong through this detailed historical account. This book traces the transformation of the region from a quiet fishing village during the Qing dynasty under Manchu rule to a prominent British colony. With a population that was 98 percent Chinese, the text examines how the territory evolved into a global center for business and wealth. Readers will follow the transition of Hong Kong into a Special Administrative Region (SAR) of Communist China starting July 1, 1997. The narrative explains how China resumed sovereignty while granting the right to self-government for at least 50 years, excluding diplomatic and defense matters. This book provides a clear look at how the colony established itself as a regional powerhouse long before its return to China. It is an essential read for those interested in the history of Great Britain and the development of major global cities.
