Hong Kong–mainland China relations refer to the relationship between Mainland China along with its capital Beijing and Hong Kong . According to the 1997 Sino-British Joint Declaration, the United Kingdom handed control of Hong Kong over to the People's Republic of China, making it a special administrative region. In principle, Hong Kong became an autonomous administrative division based on the Hong Kong Basic Law.
