Answer and explanation:

Common law refers to a set of unwritten laws that take by reference past court cases. These legal regulations depend on the interpretations of judicial authorities and public juries. Common law was mainly implemented during the 17th and 18th centuries in the United Kingdom and other countries such as Australia, Canada, the U.S., and Hong Kong adopted it.

Hong Kong, officially part of the Republic of China, still keeps the common law system as if it was part of the United Kingdom territory (1841-1997).

Answer: The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region

Step-by-step explanation:

Common Law is an English unwritten law that originated in London. These are laws that are made by judges as they give verdicts on cases in opposition to laws made by the legislature.

They are mostly introduced from past cases and judgements and are not necessarily laid down laws.

While the Chinese legal system is under the jurisdiction of the People's Republic of China, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region still continued the use of the Common Law system of government and its economic systems after being integrated into the Peoples Republic of China.
