香港自古以來就是中國的領土，一八四○年鴉片戰爭以後被英國佔領。一九八四年十二月十九日，中英兩國政府簽署了關於香港問題的聯合聲明，確認中華人民共和國政府於一九九七年七月一日恢復對香港行使主權，從而實現了長期以來中國人民收回香港的共同願望。

為了維護國家的統一和領土完整，保持香港的繁榮和穩定，並考慮到香港的歷史和現實情況，國家決定，在對香港恢復行使主權時，根據中華人民共和國憲法第三十一條的規定，設立香港特別行政區，並按照“一個國家，兩種制度”的方針，不在香港實行社會主義的制度和政策。國家對香港的基本方針政策，已由中國政府在中英聯合聲明中予以闡明。

根據中華人民共和國憲法，全國人民代表大會特制定中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法，規定香港特別行政區實行的制度，以保障國家對香港的基本方針政策的實施。

Hong Kong has been part of the territory of China since ancient times; it was occupied by Britain after the Opium War in 1840. On 19 December 1984, the Chinese and British Governments signed the Joint Declaration on the Question of Hong Kong, affirming that the Government of the People’s Republic of China will resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong with effect from 1 July 1997, thus fulfilling the long-cherished common aspiration of the Chinese people for the recovery of Hong Kong.

Upholding national unity and territorial integrity, maintaining the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and taking account of its history and realities, the People’s Republic of China has decided that upon China’s resumption of the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will be established in accordance with the provisions of Article 31 of the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China, and that under the principle of “one country, two systems”, the socialist system and policies will not be practised in Hong Kong. The basic policies of the People’s Republic of China regarding Hong Kong have been elaborated by the Chinese Government in the Sino-British Joint Declaration.

In accordance with the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China, the National People’s Congress hereby enacts the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China, prescribing the systems to be practised in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, in order to ensure the implementation of the basic policies of the People’s Republic of China regarding Hong Kong.

《中華人民共和國香港特別行政區基本法》（下稱《基本法》）在1990 年4 月4 日經中華人民共和國第七屆全國人民代表大會（下稱全國人民代表大會）通過，並已於1997 年7 月1 日生效。

The Joint Declaration provides that these basic policies shall be stipulated in a Basic Law of the HKSAR.
