With a population of 7.5 million and a land area of 1,114 square kilometers, Hong Kong is the fourth most densely populated region in the world. Originally a British colony, Hong Kong Island was ceded to the Qing dynasty by Great Britain in 1841-1842 after the First Opium War. The colony was expanded to the Kowloon Peninsula in 1860, and further expanded in 1898 when Britain obtained a 99-year lease of the New Territories. Hong Kong was occupied by Japan during World War II from 1941 to 1945. The region was transferred from Britain to China in 1997. Hong Kong maintains a separate government and economic system from mainland China under the principle of "One Country, Two Systems." Originally a sparsely populated agricultural and fishing area, Hong Kong is now one of the most important financial centers and commercial ports in the world. Hong Kong is the third largest financial center globally after New York City and London, the ninth largest exporter and the eighth largest importer. Its currency, the Hong Kong dollar, is the ninth most traded currency in the world. Hong Kong is the city with the second highest number of billionaires in the world and has the second most ultra-high-net-worth individuals.
