Its colonial status was the result of a pair of 19th century treaties signed at the end of the first and second Opium Wars, along with the granting of a 99-year lease in 1898 to the New Territories, which greatly expanded the size of the colony. China\u2019s Communist Party, which seized power during a civil war in 1949, says it never recognized what it calls the \u201cunequal treaties\u201d that the former Qing Dynasty was compelled to sign following military defeats. In the late 20th century with China unwilling to extend the lease on the New Territories, and the colony not viable without them \u2014 Britain entered into protracted and often contentious negotiations with Beijing over conditions for the return of Hong Kong to Chinese rule. Ultimately, China took control of Hong Kong in 1997 under a \u201cone country, two systems\u201d arrangement that would keep the city\u2019s economic, political and judicial systems distinct from those in mainland China for 50 years. That was laid out in a 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration registered with the United Nations, although China now refuses to recognize the agreement.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What is the relationship between Hong Kong and India?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 How does India see Hong Kong?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Important Articles Covering the same topic:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udccd<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/world\/timeline-hong-kong-handover-china-25-years-8002865\/\" class=\"\">Timeline of Hong Kong under 25 years of Chinese rule<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"adboxtop adsizes\">\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/world\/china-opens-ties-with-honduras-taiwan-decries-monetary-demands\/\" class=\"\">China opens ties with Honduras, Taiwan says lured away by Beijing<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Syllabus:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Preliminary Examination:&nbsp;<\/strong>Current events of national and international importance<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mains Examination:&nbsp;<\/strong>General Studies II:&nbsp;Bilateral, regional and global groupings and agreements involving India and\/or affecting India\u2019s Interest<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key Points to Ponder:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 What\u2019s the ongoing story-<\/strong>-China established diplomatic ties with Honduras on Sunday after the Central American country ended its decades-long relationship with Taiwan, while Taiwan\u2019s foreign minister accused Honduras of demanding exorbitant sums before being lured away by Beijing.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 161 people have been identified as at risk of infection through contact tracing and are currently being monitored. An emergency response team has been deployed in the area and no other cases of the virus have been reported in the country outside Kagera, The Guardian said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What is the Marburg virus disease?<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Do You Know-<\/strong>Marburg virus disease (MVD), earlier known as Marburg hemorrhagic fever, is a severe, often fatal hemorrhagic fever, according to the WHO. Marburg, like Ebola, is a filovirus; and both diseases are clinically similar. Rousettus fruit bats are considered the natural hosts for the Marburg virus. However, African green monkeys imported from Uganda were the source of the first human infection, the WHO points out. It was first detected in 1967 after simultaneous outbreaks in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany; and in Belgrade, Serbia. The disease has an average fatality rate of around 50%. However, it can be as low as 24% or as high as 88% depending on virus strain and case management, says the WHO.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 What are the symptoms of Marburg virus disease?<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 How can Marburg virus disease be diagnosed and treated?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Important Articles Covering the same topic:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udccd<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/article\/explained\/explained-marburg-virus-ebola-outbreak-ghana-8037314\/\" class=\"\">Explained: What is the Marburg virus, the Ebola-like outbreak now confirmed in Ghana?<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>For any queries and feedback, contact priya.shukla@<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/\" class=\"\">indianexpress.com<\/a><strong><br \/>The&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/indianexpress.com\/\" class=\"\">Indian Express<\/a><strong>&nbsp;UPSC Hub is now on Telegram.&nbsp;<\/strong>Click here to join our channel<strong>&nbsp;and stay updated with the latest Updates.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THE WORLD PROTEST IN HONG KONG FOR FIRST TIME IN YEARS Syllabus: Preliminary Examination:&nbsp;Current events<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46138"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46138"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46138\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":46139,"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/46138\/revisions\/46139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=46138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/peymantaeidi.net\/stem-cell\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=46138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
