The British colony of Hong Kong is to be returned to China in 1997 after an historic agreement was signed in Peking today.
Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher signed the Joint Sino-British Declaration with her Chinese counterpart Zhao Ziyang.
It formally seals the future of Hong Kong, transferring it from a British colony of six million people to communist China in 13 years.
The agreement, which will end 155 years of British rule in the colony, also launches a new era in trade and diplomacy between the two countries.
...The declaration outlines Hong Kong will be "restored" to the People's Republic of China with effect from July 1 1997 and will apply for fifty years.
It will be known as the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR).
