One Country, Two Systems: Human Rights in Hong Kong
On July 1, 1997, the British colony of Hong Kong was handed over to Chinese rule and became a Special Administrative Region (SAR) under the policy of “one country, two systems.” The SAR was promised “a high degree of autonomy” in running its own affairs, but defense and foreign affairs would be left to Beijing. Under “one country, two systems,” it was understood that the SAR would keep its capitalist system, while the people would enjoy the free lifestyles and be protected by the rule of law that existed before the handover. All of these provisions and more are stated in Hong Kong’s Basic Law, the SAR’s mini-constitution. Under colonial rule, the Hong Kong people were not allowed to elect their government
