Transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong
The transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover", occurred on June 30, 1997.
In 1982, the two governments began to talk about the sovereignty of Hong Kong. In light of the increasing openness of the PRC government and economic reforms on the mainland, then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sought the PRC's agreement to a continued British presence in the territory. However, the PRC took a contrary position: not only did the PRC wish for the New Territories, on lease until 1997, to be placed under the PRC's jurisdiction, it also refused to recognise the "unfair and unequal treaties" under which Hong Kong Island and Kowloon had been ceded to Britain in perpetuity. Consequently, the PRC recognised only the British administration in Hong Kong, but not British sovereignty

Hong Kong had been captured under the british hands for about 100 years. And ever since the british took control of Hong Kong, Hong Kong has slowly developed into the western culture. Therefore leading it to a path of success. There has been churches and schools teaching children to be christians. There are many western buildings which have become an attraction for tourists. English Schools buildings that still exist like Kowloon Junior School, And King George V School that have lasted for 100 years (actually more) 105?!? Now, there are many chinese as well as others like japanese, koareans, filipinos, indians who attend these schools. And because of this had Hong Kong become such an international place. It had been returned back to china in the year 1997.

What does that mean?
I recently did an article on this.
Hong Kong returned in China. After the war where Hong Kong belonged to England. A few years back, Hong Kong was returned. There was a contract where United Kingdom were only able to keep Hong Kong for this many amount of years. And now we've lost Hong Kong.

Above is absolutely correct. Hong Kong used to be part of the British empire until 1998 i think. There was a huge ceremony between the two countries in handing back power to the Chinese. I think there was an agreement made at the time that Britain would only have control for something like 50 years. Chris Patten was the main government official in charge of the area.

Nobody understands your question. Do you mean "Does anybody know about Hong Kong's return to China"?
