China Rewrites Textbooks To Change Colonial History

China has rewritten history books to claim that Hong Kong was never a British colony.

The country is reportedly rewriting the history books to teach new generations of students that they never recognised the UK taking Hong Kong as a colonial possession.

In truth, Britain took Hong Kong from China during the First Opium War and in 1898 signed a 99 year lease of it and adjacent territories.

Hong Kong was returned to Chinese control in 1997 when that lease expired, but the city's status with a different system to that of the communist Chinese government has caused serious tensions.

China and Hong Kong have operated under a 'one nation, two systems' model where Hong Kong is under Chinese control but has its own government with powers over legal and financial affairs.
