With over 7.5 million inhabitants of various nationalities in 1,104 square kilometers (426 square miles) of territory, Hong Kong is one of the most populous places in the world. Hong Kong became a colony of the British Empire after the Tsing Empire pricked the Hong Kong island at the end of the First Opium War in 1842. The colony expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 after the Second Opium War and was expanded when Britain received a 99-year lease of the New Territories in 1898. The entire area was handed over to China in 1997. As a special administrative region, Hong Kong maintains separate systems of governance and economy from mainland China systems on a one country, two systems basis. However, decisions taken by the Standing Committee of the People's Congress cancel any territorial judicial process. In addition, under certain circumstances, the Council of State may enforce national legislation in the region. Originally a sparsely populated area of agricultural and fishing villages, the area became one of the most significant financial centres and trading ports in the world. It is the world's tenth largest exporter and the ninth largest importer. Hong Kong has a large capitalist service economy characterized by low taxation and free trade, and its currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the eighth most traded currency in the world. Hong Kong is home to the second largest number of billionaires of any city in the world, the largest number of billionaires of any city in Asia, and the largest concentration of ultra-high net worth individuals of any city in the world.

Aberdeen was the original point of contact between British sailors and local fishermen. Although the source of the novelized name is unknown, it is believed that this is an early phonetic visualization of cantonal pronunciation of Ongg gong. The name translates as a fragrant harbour or a haven of incense. Fragrant may refer to the sweet taste of freshwater inflows into the harbour from Pearl River or to the smell from the incense factories lining the coast of North Kowloon. The incense was stored near Aberdeen Harbour for export before Victoria Harbour developed. Sir John Davies (second colonial governor) proposed an alternative origin; Davis said the name comes from Hoong-keang (red torrent), reflecting the color of the soil over which the waterfall flows on the island. The simplified name Hong Kong was often used in 1810. The name was also often written as a single word Hongkong until 1926, when the government officially adopted the name of two words. Some corporations founded at the beginning of the colonial era still hold this name, including Hongkong Land, Hongkong Electric Company, Hongkong and Shanghai Hotels and Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). The main articles of history: The history of Hong Kong and the history of China Region was first occupied by humans during the Neolithic period, about 6,000 years ago.

F. LEE ABSTRACT: Most observers argued that press freedom in Hong Kong has been declining continually over the past 15 years. This article examines the problem of press freedom from the perspective of the political economy of the media. According to conventional understanding, the Chinese government has exerted indirect influence over the Hong Kong media through co-opting media owners, most of whom were entrepreneurs with ample business interests in the mainland. At the same time, there were internal tensions within the political economic system. The latter opened up a space of resistance for media practitioners and thus helped the media system as a whole to maintain a degree of relative autonomy from the power centre. However, into the 2010s, the media landscape has undergone several significant changes, especially the worsening media business environment and the growth of digital media technologies.

Observed versus Expected Match- Running Outputs of International Female Rugby Sevens Players A thesis submitted to Massey University, Albany, New Zealand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Sport and Exercise Kirsty Yallop 2018 Primary Supervisor: Associate Professor Andrew Foskett Co-Supervisor: Associate Professor Ajmol Ali 1 Abstract Women’s rugby sevens is a new and emerging sport with limited knowledge, specifically on international female match-running outputs. It is a rare opportunity to conduct research on elite athletes, and even more so for an emerging women’s sport. The overall aim of this thesis is to establish and compare observed international female rugby sevens players’ match-running outputs versus theoretical expected match-running outputs (elite male players and an established sport, football). Another unknown aspect of the women’s rugby sevens game is how fatigue affects performance. The thesis also determines differences in match-running outputs of international female rugby sevens players from half-to-half, game-to-game and tournament-to-tournament. Global Positioning System (GPS) units worn on the players’ backs were used to collect data from 18 female rugby sevens players across 15 matches and 19 female football players across four matches. Reasons for the gaps found in match-running outputs and aspects that could be improved for optimal elite performance in female rugby sevens were explored.

The map illustrates the boundaries set up by the Territorial Convention of 1860 and the New Convention of 1898. The map was issued shortly after the signing of the New Convention on June 9, 1898. Under the convention the territories north of what is now Boundary Street and south of the Sham Chun River, and the surrounding islands, later known as the "New Territories" were leased to the United Kingdom for 99 years rent-free, expiring on 30 June 1997, and became part of the crown colony of Hong Kong. The Kowloon Walled City was excepted and remained under the control of Qing China. The territories which were leased to the United Kingdom were originally governed by Xin'an County, Guangdong province. Claude MacDonald, the British representative during the convention, picked a 99- year lease because he thought it was "as good as forever". Britain did not think they would ever have to give the territories back. The 99-year lease was a convenient agreement. Rarity We were unable to find an institutional examples of the map. A smaller version of the map appeared the in Europe in China: The History of Hong Kong from the Beginning to the Year 1882, published in 1899.

  • Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (Ii): the Battle Over "The People" and the Business Community in the Transition to Chinese Rule
    HONG KONG'S ENDGAME AND THE RULE OF LAW (II): THE BATTLE OVER "THE PEOPLE" AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY IN THE TRANSITION TO CHINESE RULE JACQUES DELISLE* & KEVIN P. LANE- 1. INTRODUCTION Transitional Hong Kong's endgame formally came to a close with the territory's reversion to Chinese rule on July 1, 1997. How- ever, a legal and institutional order and a "rule of law" for Chi- nese-ruled Hong Kong remain works in progress. They will surely bear the mark of the conflicts that dominated the final years pre- ceding Hong Kong's legal transition from British colony to Chinese Special Administrative Region ("S.A.R."). Those endgame conflicts reflected a struggle among adherents to rival conceptions of a rule of law and a set of laws and institutions that would be adequate and acceptable for Hong Kong. They unfolded in large part through battles over the attitudes and allegiance of "the Hong Kong people" and Hong Kong's business community. Hong Kong's Endgame and the Rule of Law (I): The Struggle over Institutions and Values in the Transition to Chinese Rule ("Endgame I") focused on the first aspect of this story. It examined the political struggle among members of two coherent, but not monolithic, camps, each bound together by a distinct vision of law and sover- t Special Series Reprint: Originally printed in 18 U.
