In 1949, the communist party won the war and took control of China, causing a mass exodus of those who could not or would not live under the government of Mao Zedong. Hong Kong was still under British influence with a capitalist society. Those institutions remain dominant well after Hong Kong's return to Chinese rule in 1997.
