Abstract
This chapter will not go into detail concerning the development of both Hong Kong and Taiwan since their separation from Imperial China under the Ching Dynasty during the nineteenth century. However, certain aspects of changes and the evolution of their significance will be touched upon to highlight the contemporary problems and conflicts surrounding both. For Hong Kong, for example, much emphasis will be placed on its evolution, the impending crisis of its return to China, the process of Sino-British negotiation since the early 1980s, the joint declaration of 1984, Hong Kong as a challenge to the People’s Republic of China (the PRC), and the Hong Kong settlement and its impact on the solution of Taiwan.
