The 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration paved the way for a series of changes that would facilitate the transfer of sovereignty from the United Kingdom to the People's Republic of China (PRC). In July 1992, Chris Patten was appointed as the last British Governor of Hong Kong. By contrast with his predecessors, Edward Youde and David Wilson, Patten had little knowledge or experience about Hong Kong or China, and spoke neither Mandarin Chinese nor Cantonese. The decade was essentially dominated by the political backdrop of the handover.
