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.

  • Hong Kong's Economy Hong Kong's
    Issue: Hong Kong’s Economy Hong Kong’s Economy By: Suzanne Sataline Pub. Date: January 15, 2018 Access Date: September 28, 2021 DOI: 10.1177/237455680403.n1 Source URL: http://businessresearcher.sagepub.com/sbr-1946-105183-2873883/20180115/hong-kongs-economy ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. ©2021 SAGE Publishing, Inc. All Rights Reserved. Can it regain its luster? Executive Summary Hong Kong provided much of the economic muscle that has transformed China into a global financial powerhouse over the past three decades. The city of 7.3 million, which has been a special administrative region of China since the United Kingdom relinquished control in 1997, is increasingly intertwined with the mainland. But while Hong Kong remains relatively prosperous and is still a regional financial center, its recent growth rate is well below that of the People’s Republic. The territory has failed to diversify to mitigate its reliance on trade services and finance and faces a host of problems that will be difficult to overcome, according to economic experts. “Hong Kong has gone sideways,” says one. Key takeaways include: Hong Kong’s economic growth rate has fallen from more than 7 percent in the 1980s to about half of that late last year, while China has expanded to become the world’s second largest economy. China now accounts for more than half of Hong Kong’s goods exports and 40 percent of its service exports. Hong Kong was the world’s busiest port in 2004; it has since slipped to number five while Shanghai has moved into the top spot.
