 Hong Kong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pursuant to an agreement known as the Sino-British Joint Declaration, signed by the People's Republic of China and the United Kingdom on 19 December 1984, the whole territory of Hong Kong under British colonial rule became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the PRC on 1 July 1997.
In the Joint Declaration, the PRC promised that under the "One Country, Two Systems" policy proposed by Deng Xiaoping, the socialist economic system in mainland China would not be practised in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's previous capitalist system and life-style would remain unchanged for at least 50 years, or until 2047.
The Joint Declaration came into particular focus in June 1989 when the PRC authorities in Beijing moved with particular severity against "pro-democracy" demonstrators in Tiannamen Square and elsewhere in Beijing.

 Statement on the Defence Estimates 1996
The permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ) was officially inaugurated on 3 April at Northwood by the Secretary of State for Defence.
Although the PJHQ is primarily a command headquarters for national operations, we recognise that the United Kingdom, and the PJHQ, will frequently be required to respond in concert with other nations.
The permanent nature of the PJHQ, and the wider range of activities that it is able to undertake as a consequence, has allowed responsibilities to be transferred from the Ministry of Defence Head Office, which will in future concentrate on formulating policy and providing the strategic direction of operations.

Our success, not least through the Defence Costs Study and other efficiency measures, in reducing the costs of supporting the front line and cutting headquarters and administrative costs means that we are able to plan on continuing to increase the amount spent on equipment as a proportion of the total in future.
