China’s modern history modest and international status of the strength of a country’s inferior and internal continuous disputes that China failed to recover Hong Kong wish repeatedly. After the founding of the communist party of China, from China in the international environment for starting from Hong Kong, China’s extremely important strategic role departure made "long-term plan, make full use of" "keep Hong Kong status. Policy unchanged"The second part describes the New Territories lease due to the influence of Hong Kong and England, forcing the British government on the question of Hong Kong with China to negotiations and the British government to treat of the future of Hong Kong. In the late 1970s, the New Territories leases in the early 1980s to Hong Kong’s economy and has a negative influence on society, the development of Hong Kong gradually disadvantage. Since Hong Kong chaos influence in Britain is extremely serious, the British government was necessary for China to Chinese government inquire of Hong Kong’s attitude. But at the same time, Britain is not willing to quit the Hong Kong, this made 97 to stay in Hong Kong after the plan, and therefore to the Chinese government for certain induction. The Hong Kong issue because the British in step, the Chinese government will blast the direction of present Chinese unified task to Hong Kong, made the basic principles of settling the Hong Kong question that "one country, two systems", also refused Britain continue to extend the New Territories lease attempt.In the third part of Margaret thatcher’s visit, the two governments at the highest level on the question of Hong Kong, due to communicate, steel and position a far out of the fight was iron voice.

The British empire complex strong Margaret thatcher would not surrendering China, Hong Kong will be China as the ignominy of three unequal treaties as Britain against China’s weapons, arouse including Hong Kong society, all Chinese anger. Margaret thatcher’s visit on the later Sino-British negotiations produce negative influence, once influenced negotiating progress.The fourth part, Sino-British negotiations on the question of Hong Kong private consultation and formal negotiations through two stages. Due to the UK in Hong Kong position on difference, make negotiations deadlock over several degrees. But the New Territories lease limitations and China international powerful force of the influence of the situation and resolving the Hong Kong question forced British way of negotiating a means, Britain only the position so in the negotiations with China tough doom it cannot end.

The Chinese government in the negotiation process insist the principle problem with the questions of principle the firmness of the flexible mobility for Britain’s counsel, keep fully alert, finally forced British agree according to China’s advice is conducted on the basis of negotiations that led to the arrangement of Hong Kong 97 according to Chinese blueprint unfolding.The Hong Kong society of Sino-British negotiations also have certain effect, in the past three years because of China’s ruling experience and ideological differences and has adapted to Hong Kong management mode and so on various aspects, Hong Kong society appeared reluctant to return to China’s stance, hope Britain continue governance Hong Kong. What’s more, in the Sino-British on the question of Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Chinese in the course of the negotiation to British government put forward that senator with China, make negotiation advice in the Chinese government is very awkward and anger. Hong Kong Chinese in China who asked British don’t yield, the hardline massacre also talks broke down. Finally British forced to agree with China’s stance, promised to quit Hong Kong 1997 British completely. Hong Kong society especially Chinese senator very to this anger, think the UK conspiring to betray Hong Kong’s interests. The Hong Kong society for the British government trust appeared shaken, but Hong Kong’s status decided that he cannot "action" feel helpless. Only to London and Beijing ", "expression voice of Sino-British will sign the Sino-British joint declaration of discontent.The fifth part epilogue, is mainly to the Hong Kong question the peaceful settlement of the factors of both countries discussed, in the negotiations the analysis, the Hong Kong question fight for a peaceful solution to the significance of both countries, and focuses on ZhiQuan in Britain insists the reason of Hong Kong earnest analysis research.
