As a region, they possess the highest degree of autonomy from China. However, despite the relative autonomy that the Central People's Government offers the special administrative regions, the National People's Congress remains capable of enforcing laws for the special administrative regions.

History In 1898 the sons of Dr. Howell Tyson Lykes started a shipping business on the Gulf Coast of Florida.
