Key moments in post-handover Hong Kong
Hong Kong marks ten years since its return to Chinese sovereignty on July 1, 2007. Here are some key moments since the handover. -- July 1, 1997: Beijing Chief Executive, Tung Chee-hwa, and Provisional Legislative Council sworn in as Hong Kong returns to Chinese sovereignty after 156 years of British rule. -- Dec 1997-Jan 1998: "Bird flu" hits. All 1.4 million poultry in Hong Kong are killed, and the virus kills six people. -- May 24, 1998: First multi-party vote. The democratic party sweeps elections for the new 60-member Legislative Council; taking 13 seats, versus the DAB party's 10 seats. -- Oct. 6, 1998: Restrictions on mainland residents visiting relatives in Hong Kong are relaxed. -- May 18, 1999: Legislative Council of Hong Kong ("LegCo") votes to seek Beijing's help in restricting the influx of mainland immigrants to no more than 200,000. -- June 26: China's parliament overturns Hong Kong's highest court on right-of-abode provisions in the Basic Law. -- Sept 11, 2000: Second legislative elections: Democratic Party returns as single largest group, but with strength eroded. -- Jan. 12, 2001: Ex-civil service head Anson Chan resigns as Chief Secretary a year early. Donald Tsang appointed on Feb. 15. -- Feb. 19, 2002: Chief Executive Tung's five-year term ends. Standing unopposed, Tung secures a second five-year term. -- June 24: Tung names 14 "cabinet ministers" to run the 180,000-strong civil service, and appoints five advisers. -- Sept. 24: Tung announces anti-subversion law called Article 23. -- March-April, 2003: Flu-like SARS virus hits. Some 299 people die before Hong Kong is declared SARS-free in June 2003. -- July 1: Many people march against Article 23. Two ministers later resign and the bill is indefinitely shelved. -- April 2, 2004: Two days after Beijing rules it can veto any changes to Hong Kong election laws, Premier Wen Jiabao pledges the territory will ultimately have direct elections. -- Sept. 12: Legislative council election draws a record 55 percent turnout, with half the 60 seats directly elected. -- March 11, 2005: Tung Chee-hwa resigns after weeks of speculation, citing ill health. Donald Tsang takes over in June. -- Sept. 12: Hong Kong Disneyland opens, the first in China. -- Jan. 16, 2007: New rules restrict numbers of pregnant women coming from the mainland to Hong Kong to give birth. -- March 25: Chief Executive Donald Tsang wins a new five-year term, defeating lawmaker Alan Leong in Hong Kong's first contested leadership election. |
