i found on the internet\n\nTransfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong\n\nThe transfer of the sovereignty of Hong Kong from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China (PRC), often referred to as "The Handover", occurred on June 30, 1997.\n\nIn 1982, the two governments began to talk about the sovereignty of Hong Kong. In light of the increasing openness of the PRC government and economic reforms on the mainland, then-British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher sought the PRC's agreement to a continued British presence in the territory. However, the PRC took a contrary position: not only did the PRC wish for the New Territories, on lease until 1997, to be placed under the PRC's jurisdiction, it also refused to recognise the "unfair and unequal treaties" under which Hong Kong Island and Kowloon had been ceded to Britain in perpetuity. Consequently, the PRC recognised only the British administration in Hong Kong, but not British sovereignty\n\nthe web site below offer good information about your Q \nand its so aranged full of informations\nas \n1 Background \n2 The talks \n2.1 Before the war of words \n2.2 Negotiations began \n2.3 British concession \n3 Migration tide \n4 Sino-British Joint Declaration \n5 Views of the Kowloon Walled City \n6 Views of Rennie's Mill \n7 Drafting of Basic Law \n8 The Rose Garden Project \n9 Localisation of top government officials \n10 The last governor \n11 The handover \n12 Bibliography \n13 Further reading \n14 See also \n15 External links \nMajor events during 1979 - 1997\nany help

I think HK still keeps English as one of its official languages.  The other one is of course Chinese.

I think China is trying to be part of everything.  A new mix of Socialist, Democrat, Republic, whatever just like a cocktail.  Not sure about the taste since I have never tried.

What should we do...?  SIMPLE. \n\nBlack people will go back to Africa, and the White people will go back to Europe, same for the Asians back to Asia, and GIVE THIS LAND BACK TO THE INDIANS. \n\nIf that is not the case, THAN WHY does it bother you to see a Mexican coming in?

Reference 1 is the latest on his whereabouts.  He just left Bali for Hong Kong.  He has been traveling and spending time close to Thailand.  The rumor is that he is trying to come back.  However, it is way too soon.  After awhile people could forget a lot about his problem allowing him to sneak in or actually come back to Thailand.\nHis family is still in Thailand (ref. 2).

Hi Krusty,\nSorry I can't help too much, I don't know anything about this co. other than visiting your weblink above, but they seem to have TOO MANY brand-name products to me, so I am guessing that they are knockoffs, but!\n\nYou can visit the Chinese Ministry of Commerce here:\n\nhttp://english.mofcom.gov.cn/  \n\nor the Aus branch:\n\nhttp://au2.mofcom.gov.cn/\n\nand they will be able to help you further. Believe me, if they ARE knockoffs the Chinese Govt will take action pretty quickly!\n\nSome years ago, before the end of British Hong Kong, my business was one of only a handfull of Aus businesses listed as suitable for Intl trade with Chinese businesses directly, and they took Intl trade VERY seriously even back then -- I am talking about Intelligence reports, the full deal! Now that they are trading openly with the west, they don't want any backyard traders ruining their reputation, so you will get an honest answer from them.\n\nGood luck with the deal,\nTopcat47

Well, I don't know everything but here are some things ...\n\n1. They are building a new city the size of Philadelphia (1 million people) every month.  The Chinese economy is BOOMING.\n2. They can make furniture of same quality as Broyhill, and sell this furniture to Broyhill for the price Broyhill pays for just the wood in the US (The point is that China can make and export almost everything we make, for a tiny fraction of what it cost to make it in the US).\n3. Chinese national pride is HUGE, and so Chinese do not like to buy American.  But, Americans love to buy Chinese (Almost, everything you see in Walmart is Chinese.)\n4. China's military is getting ready to take back Taiwan (they have a HUGE military build up working in that direction).\n5. China's military is recruiting engineers at a very rapid rate.  Soon, they will have a VERY advanced military.\n6. China is making some strong treaties with Russia.\n7. China announced a few months ago that they are launching 300 satelites "to watch their people".  You don't need 300 satelites for a country that size.  300 satelites are enough to watch the whole world.\n\nSo, to summarize . . . The US has become the middle man of the world economy, and China is the manufacturing center.  If the world decides to cut us out and buy Chinese at the same time the world decides that the US should pay $10 or $20 per gallon for gas (which may happen), then China becomes the new World Power and the US becomes a third world country full of starving people (of course, WWIII might come first).\n\nPray that our next president is a great diplomat and not a John Wayne want-a-bee.

We know relatively little about the return home.  It took about 2 years, by boat from China around India to Persia.  It was very difficult, tho' he doesn't say exactly why, and doesn't go into any detail about most of the places he stopped.  It has been surmised that a combination of cholera and pirates were the most serious difficulties.\n\nFor a map see http://www.silk-road.com/maps/images/polomap.jpg
