Hong Kong was mostly a small fishing community before becoming the "Pearl of the Orient". The last jewel in the crown of the British Empire, Hong Kong became a massive financial and trade centre between the 50s and 80s. Hong Kong is now a Special Administrative Region of China, and will remain so until 2047. Find out how this baron rocky area became catapulted to world prominence.

hello from Hong Kong!!!!!! thank you for doing a video on my hometown
I hope the 1 party rule will end in 2047. Then the 50 years expiry would not matter. Hongkonger can emulate Singaporean by staying in Shenzhen/rest of pearl river delta and work in HK without internal control.
Alan Tan Let me told you. The commies will never give up their power. So they will never allow another party to get supported by the people which will affects its position.
Alan Tan And that’s the main reason why HK is losing its authority. Because HK is a threat to the dictatorship of the communist and thus. HK need to be “ destroyed “
Alan Tan Also. Just remember the Mao once says that the party will not give up it’s power without a war ( or something like that). And that could be easily seen during the Tiananmen Square protests , which the peaceful Chinese protesters get crushed by tanks and shot by machine guns by the “ People’s Libration Army” which should protect its people
@@ouo1958 understood. Somebody needs to start a revolt in Mainland then.
01:45 The Chinese destroyed the opium by dumping them into sea water, instead of burning them. Imagine the entire City of Canton gets high by passive smoking.
They burned some in HU MEN city also.
@@sarahlin1591 NO，in Humen they used sea water to destroy the opium.
They used CaO in combination with sea water, which generates a awful amount of heat that can destroy the opium.
No it was chemically burned with lime calcium oxide and then washed into the sea
I bet none of you were around to prove any of this
04:35 As a Hongkonger, the most pathetic part here is that we don't need to wait until 2047 to see that
Very true
Sad
So what. Leave China if you aren't happy with China ruling its own city.

wait i dont undersand, did china annex it?
@@liorbur China doesn't need to annex hk, because hk belongs to China and China take it in control in 1997 over the uk. The hk case recently is that in 2019, a law is established that the criminals in hk can be send to mainland China, and some hk citizens go against it and it the case became bigger and bigger and became the anti-ccp and independent from mainland China.
@@johnsony6191 the British plan to take land away from China in the name of trade really did work well didn’t it?
Not for the better either...sadly
@@johnsony6191good..
Because no one wants a CCP in control not even the HK
*2047: exists*
*Britain: We want HK back or else ...*
*China: War?*

I'm afraid the Royal Navy are not able to mount such an expedition in 2047. Better keep an eye on Spain and Argentina instead.

Alan Tan Britain will still be a rich country
China: we'll live 🙄
Funny since the Chinese invented tea.
British during olden times have occupied over lands that doesn't belong to them. But the good old days are gone, and Brexit is not just an exit from EU, it will be an exit from world influence, if UK is not careful.
I'm loving these animations. The transition when the PRC took over the ROC was really cool and the blockade effect around China also looked really cool and is easily identifiable.

Great job on summary!

The opium trade, which should have been mentioned, was the issues that led to the Opium Wars. The mass introduction of opium from the British East India Company (BEIC) was illegal according to Qing law, but was still accepted by Chinese merchants due to it being a lucrative trade product despite it being an illicit and illegal drug. The thing about BEIC opium was that it was better quality than domestic versions and became highly prized. This led to Qing officials to begin taking action and they confiscated the opium found that British merchants were importing and burned it all. British merchants were able to lobby their government to get compensation (opium is also illegal in Britain, so this was very hypocritical) and the British sent their navy and after failed negotiations, war occurred. The rest of course is history.
4:38
Most likely, Hong Kong will have a similar fate as Shanghai or Tianjin and become some form of municipality region that has direct control from the central government.
It was illegal in Britain because it is very unpatriotic to consume any drug besides tea
It wasn’t illegal in Britain. Licensed chemists could sell as much as they liked. There were opium dens in London were you could buy an evenings enjoyment . Opium at the time was seen as a wonder drug equal to any malady and the answer to everything. The Chinese already had a taste for it and the British supplied the best product.
Hong Konger here. Hello to all!!
Enjoyed that! Thanks!
thanks bro using this for my presentation
Love from Hong Kong! Good job and simple to understand.

So they dump them into the sea
It was chemical burned with lime calcium oxide then dumped in sea

It wouldve been so good if the brits said 'forever' instead of '99 years'

MY CITY
Well great job, but you missed a whole bunch of stuff. 2003 SARS which HK took really badly, the leader of the Chinese revolution against the dynasty was set up in Hong Kong periodically, and you mentioned to rapid industrialization, but not the change from factories to pretty much only finance and business, becuase even in 2001 the tertiary industry was already 85.6% of the GDP in HK, with the rest being the secondary industry, unless you want to count the 0.1% GDP taken by the primary industry. And that change just never stopped. Also, I don't know if the major amount of protest happened yet when you made this video, but a bunch of protests happens as the protesters claim HK was being taken over by China by a few laws implemented. And then covid came, which you wouldn't have known. Anyway, great video, just mentioning a few things you missed.
Yeah covid pretty much ended any real independence from the mainland im assuming
My girl is from Hong Kong she is so amazing 💜
Hope you will update the video with 2014 umbrellas movement as well as 2019 government madness

For a 5 mins video that is pretty awesome! and could you please maybe release some kind of new video about Hong Kong's near history? 'Cause, we all know that after China's opening and reforming policy in 1978, China had helped Hong Kong a lot in Finance, especially during the period of the financial crisis. And more or less, maybe a little bit about the terrorism originated by the legislation of the security law in Hong Kong? Thanks~ I think that will help people to get a better understanding of the relationship between Hong Kong and mainland China.

@@biav ^_^
Funny how the history of Hong Kong is simplified to “Brits took over and Hong Kong the fishing village had education, housing, development… etc” Much of the glumly history of British rule is just ignored.
Hong Kong people only started to have those rights after a leftist rebellion in the late 60’s. The video seems to convey the Brits did everything from ground up, there was nothing beforehand, and nothing came from China.
Why didn’t the video mention after the sino-British agreement that the British government began to privatise all public services, began the high land-prices policy, and implemented sudden and hasty measures of democratisations. All these factors directly contributed to the current mess in HK.
So biased and ill-informed.
Maybe we was educated by someone who is bias, because it didn’t look like it was intentional
IKR. UK is somehow the true cancer of the world.
Yes its extremely basised.... they allowed international travel, converted it from a fishing port infested with pirates to transform what it is today the pearl of the orient. Yes it wasnt under British rule..... In 1993 their gdp was 27% of all of China. So the HK people faced second third class status..... ask any HK person what matters..... JOBS and money.
While China was playing catchup.
The Brits arent governing anymore so you are going to blame them still?
Al Yeung I admire your simpleness...
Letao Fan thank you. Somethings in life arent that complicated
