Hong Kong (香港; "Fragrant Harbour"), officially Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, is an autonomous territory on the southern coast of China at the Pearl River Estuary and the South China Sea. Hong Kong is known for its skyline and deep natural harbour. It has a land area of 1104 km2 and shares its northern border with Guangdong Province of Mainland China. With around 7.2 million inhabitants of various nationalities, Hong Kong is one of the world's most densely populated metropolises.
After the First Opium War (1839–42), Hong Kong became a British colony with the perpetual cession of Hong Kong Island, followed by Kowloon Peninsula in 1860 and a 99-year lease of the New Territories from 1898. Hong Kong remained under British control for about a century until the Second World War, when Japan occupied the colony from December 1941 to August 1945. After the Surrender of Japan, the British resumed control. In the 1980s, negotiations between the United Kingdom and the China resulted in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration, which provided for the transfer of sovereignty of Hong Kong on 30 June 1997. The territory became a special administrative region of China with a high degree of autonomy on 1 July 1997 under the principle of one country, two systems. Disputes over the perceived misapplication of this principle have contributed to popular protests, including the 2014 Umbrella Revolution.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA, Chinese: 香港金融管理局 or 金管局) is Hong Kong's currency board and de facto central bank. It is a government authority founded on 1 April 1993 when the Office of the Exchange Fund and the Office of the Commissioner of Banking merged. The organisation reports directly to the Financial Secretary.
The fund was established and managed originally by the Currency Ordinance in 1935. It is now named the Exchange Fund Ordinance.
Under the Exchange Fund Ordinance, the HKMA's primary objective is to ensure the stability of the Hong Kong currency, and the banking system. It is also responsible for promoting the efficiency, integrity and development of the financial system.
The HKMA issues banknotes only in the denomination of ten Hong Kong dollars. The role of issuing other banknotes is delegated to the note-issuing banks in the territory, namely The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Standard Chartered Bank and Bank of China.
Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) have launched ‘FinTech Career Accelerator Scheme’ (FCAS) – an initiative to identify and groom the best talents who can lead the FinTech revolution in Hong Kong. The scheme was officially launched through a ceremony on 16 December 2016.
《蘋果》揭發香港管理專業協會(HKMA)涉嫌代國力書院收生後,HKMA發表聲明,承認國力負責菲律賓課程的入學審批、評核作業、安排論文答辯等多項工作,HKMA只負責招生和推廣。但教育局至今仍將HKMA列為主辦者。有教育界人士批評事件猶如將學生「賣豬仔」,認為政府須堵塞漏洞。 記者:陳建平 蘋果日報: http://hk.apple.nextmedia.com 即 like 蘋果fb: http://www.facebook.com/hk.nextmedia iPhone App :http://bit.ly/AppleDailyApp-iPhone Android App: http://bit.ly/AppleDailyApp-Android

There's nowhere to hide, so let love have it's way
with your heart
When love calls, love calls, love calls your name
It's on my lips
And I wish that you were still here
To take me away with your kiss
And take me away from all this crazy, crazy
'Cause too many words have been spoken, mmm
Too many lies have been told, baby
You'll never do it again you told yourself over and
over and over
You're wrong, dead wrong, babe, yeah
There's nowhere to hide, mmm, when love is callin'
your name
In from the dark, baby, nowhere to run, girl
