Tientsin-Fort Bayart, sometimes just called Tientsin or Fort Bayart, is one of the three special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The territory lies near the Pearl River Delta, bordering Guangdong province in the north and facing the South China Sea in the east and south. The territory begun as a trading port at the eve of the XIXth century and with the asian economic boost of the 60s, started to be a leading financial center, like Hong Kong or Singapur.
Tientsin-Fort Bayart was a French Concession from 1831 to 1946. After the WWII, it has became a overseas Territory of France until the transfer of its sovereignty in 1998. The Sino-French Joint Declaration and the Basic law of Tientsin-Fort Bayart stipulate that the territory should stay a SAR until at least 2048. Whereas Hong Kong, Tientsin is fully sovereign on it Foreign Affairs.
