年輕人比老年人更愿意支持香港獨(dú)立。約40%，年紀(jì)在15到24歲之間的年輕人表示他們支持香港從中國(guó)分離出來(lái)。

Britain handed over Hong Kong to China in 1997. Under that agreement, Hong Kong is to be governed by the People’s Republic of China under two economic systems:communism and capitalism.

英國(guó)在1997年將香港移交給中國(guó)。協(xié)議下，香港必須在中國(guó)的管轄下實(shí)行一國(guó)兩制：共產(chǎn)主義和資本主義。

This is known as the “one country, two systems” policy. The one country, two systems deal with China is set to end in 2047.
