| | | | | | Sino-British Joint Declaration: Encyclopedia II - Overseas territory of the United Kingdom - History The growth of the British Empire in the early 18th century to its peak in the 1920s, saw the UK acquire over one quarter of the world's land mass. These territories were classed as colonies, and ruled by a Governor appointed by the British Government. Eventually some of the larger colonies began to achieve degrees of independence, with Canada, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa obtaining dominion status in the 1920s, and achieving legislative independence with the Statute of Westminster 1931. After World War II, the Empire gradually tra ...

| | | | | Sino-British Joint Declaration: Encyclopedia II - Xinhua News Agency - Xinhua in Hong Kong Xinhua's branch in Hong Kong was not just a press office. It was named a news agency under the special historic conditions before the territory's sovereignty was transferred from Britain to the PRC, because the PRC did not recognise British sovereignty over the colony, and an embassy cannot be set up within what it considered its soil. Until 1997, it served as the de facto embassy of the PRC in the territory. It was authorized by the Special Administrative Region government to continue to represent the central government after 1997, and it w ...

| | | | | | | Sino-British Joint Declaration: Encyclopedia II - Treaty - United States law In US law, the term "treaty" is used in a more restricted sense than in international law. US law distinguishes what it calls treaties from congressional-executive agreements and sole executive agreements. All three classes are equally treaties under international law; they are distinct only from the perspective of internal US law. The distinctions are primarily concerning their method of ratification (by the 2/3rds of the Senate, by normal legislative process, or by the President alone ...

Margaret Thatcher - 1979–1983.
She formed a government on May 4, 1979, with a mandate to reverse the UK's economic decline and to reduce the role of the state in the economy. Thatcher was incensed by one contemporary view within the Civil Service that its job was to manage the UK's decline from the days of Empire, and wanted the country to punch above its weight in international affairs. She was a philosophic soulmate of Ronald Reagan, elected in 1980 in the United States, and to a lesser extent Brian Mulroney, ...

| | | | | Sino-British Joint Declaration: Encyclopedia II - Hong Kong - History Even though Hong Kong has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age, the area now known as Hong Kong was an important trading region, and also a significant strategic location for the Chinese mainland during the Tang and Song dynasties and the subsequent Mongol invasion. After that, the attention of Hong Kong fell, and only began to attract the attention of China again and the rest of the world in the 19th century when it was ceded to Britain after the Opium Wars. Hong Kong was first visited by a European in 1513, the Portuguese mariner Jorge à ...

| | | | | Sino-British Joint Declaration: Encyclopedia II - Deng Xiaoping - Socialism with Chinese characteristics The goals of Deng's reforms were summed up by the Four Modernizations, those of agriculture, industry, science and technology and the military. The strategy for achieving these aims of becoming a modern, industrial nation was the socialist market economy.
Deng argued that China was in the primary stage of socialism and that the duty of the party was to perfect "socialism with Chinese characteristics." This interpretation of Chinese Marxism reduced the role of ideology in economic decision-making and deciding policies of proven effectiveness. Downgrading communitarian values but not necessarily Marxis ...

Overseas territory of the United Kingdom - Head of State.
The head of state in the overseas territories is the British monarch, currently Queen Elizabeth II. The Queen's role in the territories is in her role as Queen of the United Kingdom, and not in right of each territory. The Queen appoints a representative in each territory to exercise her executive power.

| | | | | Sino-British Joint Declaration: Encyclopedia II - Transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong - The last governor Chris Patten became the last governor of Hong Kong. This was regarded as a turning point in Hong Kong's history. Unlike the predecessors, Patten was not a diplomat but a career politician and former MP. He introduced democratic reforms which pushed PRC-British relations to a standstill and affected the negotiations for a smooth handover.
Patten introduced a package of electoral reforms in the Legislative Council. These reforms proposed to enlarge the electorate, thus making voting in the Legislative Council more democratic. This move posed significant changes because the H ...
