After the founding of New China, the basic position of our government on the Hong Kong issue is: Hong Kong is the territory of China and does not recognize the three unequal treaties imposed by imperialism; Issues left over from history will be resolved peacefully through negotiations when conditions are ripe; Maintain the status quo until it is resolved.

In the early 1980s, the settlement of the Hong Kong issue began to be put on the agenda.
