Despite Hong Kong historically being part of China and being inhabited by Chinese people, that drastically happened in the last century. Hong Kong got into the hands of the European colonial powers, and even after they left the area, they didn't left Hong Kong. The reason why the presence in Hong Kong was kept was because of its excellent strategic position.
The newly formed nation had excellent ports and excellent location. It was quickly industrialized. That led to rapid economic growth. The economic growth and the prosperity of the small nation made, as well as it deep connections with the Western World, attracted lot of people to move in it. The Chinese population is still dominant, but over time people from all over the world moved in, thus the ethnic structure of this nation changes significantly, to a point where now it has citizens from pretty much every corner of the world.
Answer:
B. Geocentric solar system
Explanation:
The scientific community is the one that accepts or dismisses theories. Some theories are accepted, and that is because there are enough evidence that support them, while some theories are dismissed as they have been proven over time that they are not correct.
One of the theories that is outdated and has been dismissed by the scientific community is the theory of the geocentric solar system. This theory has been in place and widely accepted for a very long time, pretty much two millenniums.
This theory was basically suggesting that the Earth is the center of the solar system. The Sun, Moon, all the other planets that were known, as well as the stars, were all orbiting around the Earth. This has been proven as wrong (except that the Moon is orbiting around Earth), and that the theory is far away from the truth, so naturally once there were enough evidence it was dismissed.
